00:00Do not over pluck your eyebrows.
00:07Oh, sorry.
00:09Hey everyone, I'm Brenda Song.
00:11And I'm about to take you through my daily 10 minute quick makeup routine.
00:16So come with me.
00:16Here's my makeup bag that I do my makeup in the car, don't tell anybody.
00:21I've always wanted to do this.
00:23But let's be real, I usually start with my skincare.
00:25So we'll start there.
00:26So one of my favorite products, I love a toner.
00:29Because I wear a lot of makeup, I've got to keep the skin cleansed.
00:34The struggle is real.
00:36Is this relaxing?
00:40I didn't do that very elegantly.
00:41I love this toner.
00:42Because now I'm old, it helps plumps, and it helps keep my skin nice and clear.
00:47I love her.
00:48She's called the Peptide Firming Essence Extract Toner.
00:52Love her.
00:52On to what's really important.
00:55Moisturizing.
00:57I'm not very elegant.
01:01I have gotten really dry skin as I've gotten older.
01:05So I've been loving the Olay Firming and Lined Eating Peptides.
01:08It's called the Soft Cream.
01:09It's so good.
01:10It makes my face feel baby soft.
01:12And really preps my face for my foundation or my concealer.
01:16As I'm about to show you.
01:17I'm having too much fun doing this.
01:21Let's get started.
01:23So I have two kids.
01:24So I have no time for makeup.
01:26There is no more sitting in front of the mirror for two hours with Beyonce in the background
01:29as I get ready.
01:30I don't even have time for foundation anymore.
01:32So for my everyday life, I just wear concealer.
01:35These are my favorites.
01:37Here are the Armani Luminous Silk Concealer.
01:39I have one color for under eye and one for my face.
01:42And I just dot, dot, dot.
01:43And blend like crazy.
01:47My mom started my skincare pretty early.
01:50I started washing my face like at 10, 11.
01:53I was also working already on a kids show.
01:56So I started wearing makeup pretty early.
01:59I remember being on a Nickelodeon show called The 100 Deeds Freddie McDowd.
02:02And my character like wore wigs and crazy makeup.
02:05And I feel like that was the first time that I got to wear like proper makeup.
02:09And then when I went to the Kids Choice Awards, that was the first time I was like red carpet
02:12ready.
02:13Very fancy.
02:13Also very old school.
02:15I just gave up my age.
02:16Next, after I conceal my face, something very, very important to me.
02:24Eyebrows.
02:24I made the mistake in 2000, early 2000s, and let someone pluck them all away.
02:30So I have none.
02:31So all this is fake.
02:32Like even now, I'll touch up a brow.
02:34One of the things that I learned in my early Disney days, or just in general when I was younger,
02:39do not over pluck your eyebrows.
02:44Thank God I have a great makeup artist.
02:46Just a little.
02:48Oh, by the way, this is also the new Anastasia Archie Brow.
02:53It's a crazy shape.
02:56It's like slanted.
02:58So you can give like brow, like hair-like strokes.
03:01I mean, nothing is more natural than actual hair.
03:04So I'm not sure if this is real, but I do love it.
03:08Don't I look more alive?
03:09Just like a couple of strokes and I look more alive.
03:12I love a brow.
03:12But people might be surprised that I find calming.
03:15I'm never calm.
03:16I like to knit a lot.
03:18I'm a big reader.
03:20Like again, I'm never calm.
03:22I don't know how to meditate.
03:24I've tried.
03:24I've tried everything.
03:26Okay, on to the next.
03:27Oh, my favorite.
03:28Contour.
03:29And bronzing.
03:30One of my favorite products is this Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour Stick in Biscuit.
03:37It's so, so good.
03:40Super natural.
03:41And I don't know how to contour.
03:43And I can contour with this thing.
03:45It's amazing.
03:46And my new favorite thing is cream bronzers.
03:50And this one by Dior.
03:52The Dior Forever Skin Bronze.
03:54Oh, sorry.
03:56So, so good.
03:57I'm also really lazy and I don't wear eye makeup anymore.
04:00So, I kind of just put this in my eye, like my crease and like blend it out.
04:04So, I can, you know, have that like soft J-Lo glow that I like always strive for.
04:09When I'm at home, there really is no routine.
04:12It's whatever I have time for, which is usually something I'm doing in the car or very, very quick.
04:16I've also taught my boys to like hang out in the bathroom with me.
04:20They think it's fun.
04:21I have a little area where they can play with certain makeups or canisters that they can just,
04:25you can have fun.
04:26But on set, it's so nice.
04:28Because I get to sit and chat with my makeup artists.
04:30I get to lay my head back, close my eyes, and wake up with a full beat face.
04:36And I love it.
04:37And it's just so much fun because Linda Rambis, who my character is loosely based off of,
04:43is like a glam queen.
04:44So, I get to have a lot of fun with like a smoky eye.
04:47And I don't usually wear smoky eyes.
04:49So, it's fun.
04:50A ritual I do in between scenes to get myself ready and calm is probably just read my sides
04:59so I know my lines for the next scene.
05:02And probably yap with Kate.
05:03Have I shared any beauty secrets with Kate?
05:07Of course.
05:08It's Kate Hudson.
05:09She knows everything.
05:10She's like my big sister.
05:11I asked her for all of the advice.
05:13Also, this next season, a little cameo by Nurse Jamie.
05:17She taught me to use her roller because I have really bad DMJ.
05:21So, all day I just asked her, how do I use this?
05:23And she gave it to me.
05:25And like, now I roll my neck every morning before I get into glam.
05:28Or I'll do it in the car on my way to work.
05:31Good tip.
05:31So many amazing memories on season two.
05:34We shoot all of the game stuff at the end of the season when we're watching all the like basketball
05:39stuff.
05:40And I think my favorite is always just sitting with Kate, Scotty, Drew, and Fab.
05:45And just chatting and yapping.
05:46We're working but not working because we just get to hang out.
05:49I honestly just love hanging out with my cast.
05:51I love the show we make.
05:52But I also love just being with them.
05:54They're truly like family.
05:55And also probably going into work every day and chatting with Dave Stassner, our showrunner, more about what the game
06:02that happened last night than our actual scene.
06:05It's the best when you get to work with your friends.
06:07I do like a weird skin routine.
06:09I use like this like cooling machine on my face like this.
06:13Like it's like called TheraFace.
06:14I do it on my way to work.
06:15And then I do my Nurse Jamie roller.
06:17I didn't bring it with me.
06:19Sorry.
06:20Blush.
06:20Can't forget.
06:21This has been my new favorite.
06:23It's super easy.
06:24It's called the Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in 12.
06:31It's so pretty.
06:32It's like a neutral pink peach.
06:36Just a little blush to make me feel like alive.
06:39So it looks like I've gotten enough sleep.
06:41And then if I need it, this is a luxury.
06:45A powder.
06:47Hey, I've always wanted to do that.
06:51This is my favorite powder.
06:52It's the Givenchy Prison Libre.
06:55It's in rose.
06:56Look how well loved it is.
06:58I use it all the time.
06:59I use it mostly for my under eye and D-zone because I'm a combo skin curly.
07:05Okay.
07:06On to my favorite part of my makeup, which is mascara.
07:10My favorite eyelash curler of all time.
07:13It's the Surratt one.
07:16It's so good because it's kind of flat so I can get all of my lashes.
07:20My favorite and my favorite mascara of all time is the Tower 28 Make Waves because it does not move
07:30and holds a curl.
07:31And I need a curl.
07:33How would Allie unwind after a long day?
07:36Lots of alcohol.
07:37She runs a NBA team.
07:40Come on.
07:40Oh, get ready for my four-step lipstick routine.
07:47I lied.
07:48It's like five.
07:49These are my favorite lip products of all time.
07:52And they're all just different versions of the exact same color.
07:55But I have like drawers full of them because I am a product junkie.
08:00I'll walk you through this.
08:01I like to start with everyone's been obsessed with that like blurred Nina Park lip.
08:05And I like to use this Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil In Endless Cacao.
08:12And I'll do a little bit of like lip contouring.
08:15I'm bad at this.
08:16I'm a bad influencer.
08:17I'm sorry.
08:18I'll use a little down here.
08:20I used to have a Get Ready With Me playlist.
08:22It's now like an audiobook or like because when my kids are getting ready with me,
08:28we're listening to like truck tunes and whatever they want to listen to.
08:32So I've listened to the Lego soundtrack and the Troll soundtrack more times than anybody
08:37needs to listen to it.
08:39But if I could, it'd be like my Y2K.
08:41It'd be all Britney, Beyonce, Backstreet, TLC, Madonna.
08:46Give it to me.
08:47Okay.
08:47Now that I've contoured, I've been obsessed with these like lip liner stains and this one
08:55by Knicks called Guff Me.
08:57I always think this is going to be more satisfying and it's not.
09:01I'm sorry.
09:02It's so good because it has this weird little bulb.
09:05It like stains the lip and it's so good.
09:08Younger Brenda would never believe that she gets to go to Laker games and hang out with
09:14Jeannie Buss and Linda Rambis and Pau Gasol.
09:17Like I'm walking in the tunnels.
09:19Like this is insane.
09:20What I would have whispered to her, girl, live your best life.
09:24You have no idea that your dreams will come true.
09:27I always say Allie Lee is my dream job.
09:30Like if I could be the chief of staff of the Lakers, goodbye acting.
09:35I'd be gone.
09:37Bye.
09:38I have been using this tried and true for the last couple of years.
09:40It's the Makeup Forever Artist Extreme.
09:43You need the extreme.
09:43It doesn't move.
09:44And wherever walnut.
09:46Oh.
09:47I keep up expecting like a pop.
09:50My makeup tip I'd give for those watching would be to have fun.
09:54It's just makeup.
09:55Don't be afraid to like take risks.
09:58You could just wash it off.
09:59But also find out what works for you and like stick with it.
10:02I found what sort of works for me.
10:05And I just kind of changed the tones every once in a while.
10:07If I'm feeling feisty, which is not very often because I'm so boring.
10:13And to end my forever liberty, this is a new find that my makeup artist on the last movie,
10:19The Fifth Wheel I Did, found.
10:21It's by this small brand called Citizen.
10:24In a color.
10:25Oh, it's number 12.
10:27Okay, number 12.
10:28I don't want to pronounce it.
10:29It's a nudie pink.
10:30But guess what?
10:31Lipstick on one side.
10:33Lip gloss on the other.
10:37I'm a dabber.
10:41And that is my forever lip routine.
10:46You probably can't even tell a difference.
10:48But I can.
10:49Alright, that's it.
10:50Thank you guys so much for watching my kind of quick makeup routine.
10:55Things that I carry with me when I'm traveling or in a car.
10:58My favorite skin products.
