Transcript
00:00What is my daily approach to beauty?
00:03Just looking in the mirror and saying,
00:04I love you, you've got this, you look gorgeous,
00:08and leading with that mentality,
00:10even though sometimes you might not feel like it,
00:12you have to pretend.
00:14Hi, hello, it's me, Olivia Dean,
00:16and this is my 10-minute beauty routine.
00:21The look we're doing today is 10 minutes,
00:24if I can do it, because I'm quite slow when I get ready.
00:27Everyday, everyday look.
00:30Oh, where's my bits and bobs?
00:32The vibe when I'm getting ready is,
00:33we need to start with a candle.
00:40Diptyque is kind of the most gorgeous candle in the world.
00:43I love all the scents, but this one I hear is pronounced bae,
00:47so we set her down and we get ready.
00:52I would play some music on my speaker.
00:55I'm not going to now,
00:56otherwise you might not be able to hear me,
00:58but imagine that it's like, I don't know,
01:01some gorgeous Brazilian kind of like 60s music playing,
01:04something like that.
01:04Okay, so I'm not going to do this on camera,
01:06because then we wouldn't have enough time,
01:10but these face masks, the hype is true, guys.
01:14And then lovely hydrating sort of prep mist after that.
01:21Smells like the spa, even when you're not in the spa.
01:25If I've just come out of the shower or I'm like refreshing my hair,
01:29I've been using this recently,
01:31Whey Hair Gloss.
01:32It's really lightweight.
01:33I'm not really sure like what's in it, but I like it.
01:37So I put this on and then I blow it out with a hot brush.
01:40I would say my mum has always instilled in me that your hair is your beauty.
01:45It's important to look after it and treat it like it's your best friend.
01:49And I've never dyed my hair or kind of like done anything crazy with it.
01:54I just feel like quite protective of her.
01:56I always kind of do think that one day I could do like a shaved head look,
02:00like that would be quite chic, but I think my mum would have a fit.
02:03So I don't know.
02:06And also guys,
02:11if you know, you know, Beyonce, thank you.
02:14This is actually really hard to get, but if you can find it,
02:17pick it up and put it straight in your basket,
02:18because your hair will grow at a rate that you've never seen before.
02:22I would use this kind of straight out the shower
02:25when there's nothing else on my hair yet.
02:27And I would kind of and then like work it into my scalp here.
02:31I love the blowout.
02:32It makes me feel like I'm like this kind of, I don't know,
02:35seventies sort of like fabulous lady.
02:38It's speaking to me right now.
02:39Sometimes recently, I'm actually controversial,
02:42skipping moisturizer and just doing SPF.
02:45This one is ultraviolet.
02:47Is that how you say it?
02:48SPF 50.
02:49I think it needs to be 50 guys.
02:51The sun is really hot.
02:53And we're protected.
02:56Oh yeah.
02:57Okay, next up, we have the road glazing milk.
03:00This is really good.
03:01I really like it.
03:02It's lightweight.
03:03And whenever I put it on,
03:05I feel like it's the perfect base for the rest of my makeup.
03:10And so I'll just kind of pop her on.
03:14And I'm also going to use her later for something else.
03:17A hack guys, a special hack.
03:20Now we're kind of getting into makeup world.
03:23Uh, at the moment, I'm loving Hourglass skin tint.
03:27For me, it's always a skin tint.
03:29I don't love super heavy foundation.
03:33I want it to feel like my skin, like you can see my skin,
03:36but it's just looking a bit more kind of one shade,
03:40rather than lots of different ones.
03:41And I'm either shade 10 or 11,
03:43depending on how much sun I've been able to receive.
03:46Today, 10.
03:48And I'll just put kind of like this much on the back of my hand
03:51and then work her in.
03:55It's really not a lot.
03:57A little goes a long way.
03:59You know what?
03:59Let's do a little bit more.
04:01With this lovely brush.
04:04Which I've had for a very, very long time.
04:08And we definitely wash all the time.
04:11Okay, pretty.
04:14The skin is tinted.
04:16Wow, this is so fun.
04:17I've wanted to do one of these for such a long time.
04:19Like I definitely sit in my house at home and I go.
04:24With nobody there.
04:25Okay, so next I use concealer.
04:27Airbrush concealer.
04:28I've been using this one forever.
04:30And I am in the shade June under my eyes.
04:34And then maple if I've got like my chin is my problem area.
04:37But okay.
04:39I normally just go like this.
04:42I'm not a makeup artist, guys.
04:44I'm just a lover of makeup.
04:46And then I would kind of buff her in.
04:49Sometimes I'd use my finger.
04:51Because I feel like that gives you a real nice kind of even spread.
04:55Honestly, I do a bit of both.
04:59I used to really do the sponge, but falling a bit out of love with the sponge.
05:03It's a lot of work.
05:04You've got to go and wet the sponge.
05:06And you know, I just do a bit of that.
05:08Sometimes I'll kind of put some here too.
05:11Okay, cute.
05:12I am going to put a little on my chin.
05:14This is maple.
05:16Beep, boop, boop.
05:21Really letting everybody see what's really happening on the skin.
05:26It's all right.
05:27That's actually my face.
05:30Cute.
05:32The visual world for The Art of Loving, I think from the beginning, was just
05:37focusing on timelessness.
05:40Kind of looking back into the past and things that felt classic.
05:44I loved a lot of black and white imagery that I was looking at.
05:47Always looking at Diana Ross, Natalie Cole.
05:50Kind of singers from that Motown era.
05:53It's about glamour and fun, but I don't know, singing from the soul.
06:00Nice to each other, I started and I had my curly hair and the makeup was like very natural.
06:07And then Lady Lady, we played with this kind of like really frosty eye that was quite chic.
06:11And then Man I Need, I think I had the best hair in that video I've ever had in my
06:15whole life.
06:16Like that was a great hair day for me, thank God.
06:19And I was being lifted up in the sky by all those men and it was just a great day.
06:23I feel like I'll look back on those videos in 20 years time and be like,
06:26oh, I look like me and I looked happy and yeah, really beautiful.
06:32Okay, now we're moving into bronzer guys.
06:37Bronzer is a bit of a holy grail moment for me.
06:40This is my favorite one.
06:42It lasts forever.
06:43And what I like to do, which I saw on TikTok, which I'm not on anymore,
06:48but when I was on there, they do have some good beauty hacks.
06:51I'll give it to you TikTok, okay?
06:53You get your road glazing milk and your Chanel cream bronzer and you do that.
06:58You give it a little one of these and it just kind of makes the product a bit more supple.
07:04I don't know if that's the right word.
07:07And then it's kind of ready to just go straight on.
07:11Ooh, look at that, quite a lot.
07:16You can always blend away guys.
07:20Ooh, best beauty hack from my hair and makeup team.
07:25Less is more with the hair products and with makeup.
07:29Always take your makeup off before bed.
07:31Sometimes after a show, it's like, oh my God,
07:33I just want to just crawl right into bed and go to sleep.
07:37But always take your makeup off.
07:39I know that's an obvious thing to say, but I know sometimes we get lazy, ladies.
07:44Next up, we are going to do eyebrows.
07:47I've had a real eyebrow journey in my life.
07:50I used to have really big kind of slug eyebrows of 2016.
07:54I think that was when they were hot.
07:56I carried the trend on too long.
07:57But now I'm into fluffy brows and this Refai one is my favorite.
08:02And I learned, I know it looks crazy guys, but we go that way.
08:08What?
08:09And then we go up.
08:11But it's completely clear.
08:14But it makes me look like I've got like five times more brow.
08:18And then I like to go like that.
08:19And sometimes you get a bit on the top.
08:21You just get that right way.
08:22I mean, health, health, health.
08:28Wow, that's my favorite part.
08:31I feel like once we get that cooking, it's like we're really getting somewhere.
08:34Oh, I'd love to just put this like lighter shade just under my eyes.
08:39Just to kind of set that and brighten up the eye.
08:46Maybe some here too.
08:47I don't know.
08:48Sure.
08:49It's blush time.
08:52Which shade feels like my vibe today?
08:55I said spend a lot of time going, but which blush will it be?
08:59This feels like me today.
09:01This feels like my energy.
09:02I love liquid blush.
09:03I just think it really goes with the kind of dewy thing I'm going for.
09:07And this one is my favorite right now.
09:09Vision.
09:12I would pop her on the back of my hand.
09:15Sort of pump her out like this.
09:17And then I would kind of go in with my finger for this one.
09:20And just do do.
09:21Pop, pop, pop, pop.
09:23Kind of on the top of my cheek.
09:26And then I would go in with a little brush.
09:30And just making it look like somebody's made you blush.
09:35Maybe somebody said something cheeky to you or I don't know, flirted with you.
09:40And you've gone a little bit red.
09:41Also on the top of the nose.
09:43Cute.
09:44We love her.
09:46Oh my God.
09:46That actually looks really good.
09:48Wow.
09:49Eyelash curlers.
09:50Shishado.
09:51These are the best ones.
09:53Rumor has it.
09:54I got a lash lift recently.
09:56So a lot of my eyelashes are kind of going in different directions.
10:01But this will just sort me right out.
10:05I do love a little lash lift.
10:07Sue me.
10:09Sue me.
10:10Mascara.
10:11At the moment, I'm loving this one from Glossier.
10:15I've kind of gone through different mascaras.
10:17But this one just feels light and not too clunky.
10:25So just a bit of her.
10:27I like to use black mascara.
10:29I've tried brown, but it didn't really give me the va-va-voom I was looking for.
10:33I just think black's classic.
10:35Now for my favorite part, lips.
10:37Lips is where I feel like it really all comes together.
10:40I love a bit of a glossy lip.
10:42But recently, our gloss have come up with the Blur Balm,
10:46which I feel is just as gorgeous as the glossy one,
10:49but kind of has more of a matted effect.
10:52I like to use lip liner.
10:54I'm very into brown lip liner.
10:58It doesn't really matter what time of day it is.
10:59I think brown lip liner always looks nice.
11:01And this is actually the shade that I used on the Grammys.
11:04The Grammy night.
11:07Crazy.
11:07I will go in kind of exactly where my lips are.
11:12I don't really overline.
11:14Mostly because I don't know how to.
11:15And that's like for professionals.
11:17This is the shade Enigma.
11:19I don't think I'm an enigma.
11:21I wish I was.
11:22I think I'm pretty like as it comes.
11:27And then I'll just fill in and blend that together.
11:34And then we're done.
11:35That's my finished 10 minute makeup look.
11:43Thanks so much, Alois.
11:44See you next time.
11:46If The Art of Loving was a document,
11:48what message would I hope transcends time?
11:52My aim with this album was to remind people of the importance of loving each other,
11:57and our capacity to do so and how important human connection is.
12:03And that it's okay to want love and to love and be loved.
12:07And we don't need to pretend to be so cool and nonchalant all the time.
12:10And actually, it's really cool to be sincere and love the people in your life properly.
