Selena Gomez is sharing her secrets to her beauty routine.
The Only Murders In The Building actress recently revealed how she prepares for an evening out in a recent Vogue Beauty Secrets video – and we’re picking up a few tips from the Rare Beauty founder.
Tip #1: Set the mood.
Before everything else, Selena sets the mood for her evening with scented candles (“It’s just like, I don’t know, super romantic, if that makes sense.”) and dabbing a few drops of essential oils on her wrist and behind the ears. Her scent of choice? Patchouli, which she describes as “super calming.”
Tip #2: Prep the skin.
Selena puts on a cucumber eye mask to “get rid of any inflammation” around her eyes then a Tatcha Dewy Serum for that glow. She also shared expressed her preference to have a “clean canvas” before putting on makeup, so make sure your face is fresh and clean.
Tip #3: Let loose with some music.
“I can’t go a day without listening to some of my favorite music,” she shares before taking a quick dance break in the middle of her preparations.
Tip #4: Workouts do wonders.
“I think the most important part of my beauty and my routine is working out,” she revealed. While she’s not exactly a big fan of getting all sweaty, she can’t deny the overall benefits of incorporating an exercise routine in her beauty regimen, adding, “I think it’s just, as miserable as it can be for me, I think it helps me mentally. It helps me physically, of course. But just gets me in a good headspace.”
Tip #5: Less is more.
While she’s no stranger to rocking bold looks, nowadays Selena is a big fan of minimal makeup. “The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realized that less is more and that it makes me feel sexier when I don’t have as much makeup on,” she shares.
Tip #6: Don’t be afraid to experiment.
Just because it’s a go-to going out look doesn’t mean it always has to be exactly the same every time. “When I go out, this is the time when I can try new things. I can use my eyeliner, my colors, sparkles… It’s just fun to add a little bit of that,” Selena shares.
That said, Selena’s go-to makeup products include a primer, liquid foundation, brow-defining powder, rose-hued liquid shadow, and an inky liner, a generous application of mascara, a light application of bronzer, a liquid luminizer, and mauve-colored lip gloss. Her completed look gets a spritzing of setting mist and she’s all ready for an evening out – and she looks fab!
