‘Outer Banks’ star Carlacia Grant invites you into an ASMR take on her midday touch-up routine in this calming and confident episode of Hush & Brush.
Starting with her lips, Carlacia explains that no matter what state her face is in, she will never go out bare-lipped. As she lines, balms, and glosses, she recalls the beginning of her makeup journey: “I graduated from YouTube University.” A longtime fan of the relaxing ritual of getting ready, she still finds the process zen even when she’s in the makeup chair on the ‘OBX’ set. “I can walk in one way and walk out another way,” she says of the mood-boosting power of a freshly beat face. Plus, “everyone in the makeup trailer knows the tea.”

00:28you can have that I'm going to share that let's get started ow sometimes I feel like tapping
00:38my fingers makes everything a little bit more intense so we're focused here we're focused
00:44I'm going to do my lips first because I feel like lips are like the nipple of the face like
00:52I do not leave home without that face a lip liner and a gloss on like I could be my
01:00face
01:00my skin could be looking all kinds of ways but my lips are always going to be popping this
01:06is slightly elevated than my everyday lip but my everyday lip pencil I would live and die
01:12on this hill is mac chestnut if you know you know love this one and I just over line sorry
01:22my hair again I did actually
01:40a little plum sort of like this I like to do like a little ombre lip that's like my go
01:50to
01:53and I'm gonna use it cosmetics in humble honey we love humble honey cray also I don't know if you
02:08can hear
02:12now I'm just gonna
02:17go
02:18go
02:20go
02:21go
02:21go
02:21go
02:22go
02:22go
02:25you are the best
02:30you are the best
02:32you are the absolute best
02:34go
02:36go
02:37go
02:39go
02:43then we're gonna make it glossy because why not and we're going in with Pat McBride in
02:52flesh astral lip gloss I like the name I'm a gloss girl I don't like my lips to be dry
03:20I feel like my makeup journey began on YouTube I graduated from YouTube University
03:30and like how to do makeup I have my doctor in it I've seen all the girls all the girls
03:35do their
03:36makeup it's actually very relaxing for me to watch someone else do makeup that's how I learned
03:47trial and error you know what I feel like when I'm practicing whenever I have nowhere to go
03:54that's when it comes out the best so I gotta find somewhere to go because my makeup is cute
03:58are you still with me now we're gonna go for blush I like to mix and match because I'm extra
04:09so we're
04:10gonna mix these two this is a glossier in storm and Bobbi Brown blush in tawny and see
04:23okay you gotta get a cute brush this one
04:38probably not sterile but it's fine we'll live so we're gonna go darker first and
04:53and I like my blush to look like I'm blushing so you know when you see your crush walking
05:00pie you already look like you already look like you're blushing you know like
05:05like that so we're gonna just start with this until we look plushy and flirty
05:16oh there we go I think that's good she looks like she's blushing and then we're gonna use a little
05:30bronzer just around all the places
05:42yeah that's it we're just touching up you know
05:44the tea of a makeup trailer is everyone in a makeup trailer always knows the tea that's the tea in
05:53a makeup trailer they know everything that's going on at all times and I feel like Madison is the quickest
06:00to get in and out of hair and makeup because she like
06:03comes already done and like knowing exactly like what she wants my time is determined on whether my hair is
06:12already braided or not because that will keep me in a little bit longer
06:15but Klein takes longer but she also wears more um she wears more makeup but if I just put sunscreen
06:27on concealer my hair is really just like natural and I feel like now people see me like as I
06:38am as like her Lacia and they're so confused because like that's just like such a different version
06:45that they're used to seeing but he got me later call time so I'll take it
06:53now we pause for water
06:57it's in the baddie bible to stay hydrated
07:00so
07:09nothing like some water
07:10I would trust either of the girls to do my makeup because I feel like the boys would like make
07:17clown makeup on purpose because they thought it was a joke
07:22so yeah either of the girls they're I feel like all of us are really good at like doing our
07:28own makeup and doing it quickly
07:30like like I I can do like a I have like a 15 minute routine a 20 minute a 30
07:37a 2 hour and a 3 hour like routine
07:49okay now we must add some mascara to holly
08:02just shimmy from the bottom
08:07I feel like I feel like a face isn't done without a lash I feel like lashes make everything so
08:14much more romantic like look
08:19it just gives personality
08:21so for me
08:22I love I love lashes
08:26because I feel like
08:28it just completes the look
08:30if I don't have lashes on I just feel like I'm doing my 10 minute face and not like my
08:3620 or 30 minute face
08:39so I'm gonna try to do the bottom lash
08:41do you guys know that you can't do the bottom lash with your mouth closed
08:46it's a fun fact that nobody cares about but I told you that anyways
08:50you guys
08:51so now you know
08:52now you're gonna try it
08:53try to do it with your mouth closed it doesn't work
08:55you also might
08:57end up
08:59getting on your face
09:00so we're just gonna shut this down here with your mouth open
09:03up
09:08trying to wash your mouth
09:12you can't
09:13hmm
09:20I found out it was gonna be the last and final season
09:24in a group text with like all of us in there
09:26and it was
09:27it's a PR um release that everyone got
09:30but we got it um
09:32a couple days beforehand
09:35and that's how we knew
09:36I think I did the shocked face emoji like
09:40the one that's like
09:45and then
09:46and then
09:47everyone started writing very
09:49um
09:50sentimental
09:51like messages to this like
09:53let's make this
09:54last one
09:55our best one
09:56our best one
09:57our last one
09:58yeah
10:01this is
10:02my favorite
10:03well one of my other favorite parts
10:05and
10:05you ever have
10:07like
10:08this is how you know
10:09like if you're waiting for someone to be ready
10:11when you start to hear that
10:15you know
10:16that like your friend is almost ready
10:18like turn the timer off
10:20they're about to come out
10:24close your eyes
10:25like a
10:25button
10:27like that
10:28and then you just
10:34like that
10:36we get a little fan going
10:37cause we need a little breeze
10:39with it
10:47And then you think of yourself on a tropical island, feel the sun on your skin, you hear
10:55the wigs. We love her. She gives us a glow. Yeah. And then I used to have that. We'll do
11:20that
11:21on the next one. I used to have that. Oh, I didn't tell you what this one was. My bad.
11:26This one is Oreo Infallible Mist. It smells good too. I always think faster when I'm down
11:37with me is like... And our second spray is Charlotte Tilbury Finishing Spray. And this one's
11:51gonna just seal everything up. Same thing. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Now you're in a helicopter.
12:13They got the doors open. You're flying over Rio de Janeiro. And the wind is blowing through
12:22it. You're just taking the city in. And voila. Would you like some microphones? Would you
12:39you're doing awesome? Yeah. That was amazing. The filming season five, knowing it was a last
12:59season, it... I think it made everything slow down. Like, you tried to take in every moment
13:07and not, like, rush through, and I was like, oh, we're gonna do that next year, I was like, oh,
13:12this is gonna be the last time that we're at this location, or that we're getting a new script, like,
13:21everything basically started to slow down,
13:27and then when it really started getting towards the end, like, the last two weeks, it was, like, painfully slow,
13:33because you were like, wow, this is the last time we're gonna be at, I don't know, Danny Hill, or,
13:39like, A-Words, and as we were wrapping locations, they were like, oh, you can take, like, the A-Words
13:45sign of t-shirts, like, we could, like, start taking stuff from sets, so it was really starting to feel
13:51real, like, the last, the last two weeks,
13:53my favorite thing I took from set is Cleo's knives, quite a few of them at this point, if we
14:01ever had to do a reshoot, I think they would have to make a new one, because I got props
14:08for every single one, it's mostly dull, anyways, like, if I actually were seeing any, any, like, issues, like, I
14:17don't think the person would die from, like, what's happening, they'll die from, like, I don't know, tuberculosis or something,
14:22because it's, like, really old, like, really old shaved-down knives, but I have them in different storage units, because
14:32I feel like if anything happens to my storage unit, that I want to always have one of those knives,
14:38because it's, it's special to me, I feel like in a couple of years, maybe I'll, like, take it out
14:43and try to see if I could still, if I could still spin it.
14:46And this is my secret weapon, this is how I always look super glow-y, I should bathe in this.
15:03And this is, this is liquid gold, ladies and gentlemen, we have found the gold, and we've bottled it, and
15:16we're just gonna,
15:24and we're gonna, and we're gonna, and we're gonna, and we're gonna, and we're gonna, and we're gonna, and we're
15:33just gonna, get it on our shoulders, down our arms,
15:41You see how much this arm is glowing, as opposed to this one, and we're gonna do the other one,
15:49but I'm right-handed, so
15:53we're gonna go like this
15:56just to have
16:00my favorite memory on set was
16:02the wedding
16:03is it was literally every
16:05well mostly everyone
16:07from all the seasons
16:08and we actually had a party
16:12like I know you guys see it
16:14and it looks like we're like acting
16:16it was actually a real party
16:19that they just recorded
16:20like even like the seafood boil
16:22and the wedding cake
16:24like everything was real
16:26and they just were like
16:27we're gonna yell action
16:28and there are no cuts
16:30just go be yourselves
16:31and we just wilded out
16:34for like hours
16:35like it truly felt like
16:37we were at a real
16:38like a real wedding
16:40the thing I'm gonna miss most
16:42about playing Cleo
16:43is just how like raw she is

16:53coming in and looking at the lines
16:55of hers

16:58and just knowing that like
17:00wow

17:04who laughs with a good pep talk
17:05like she's the friend you want to have
17:07like she is so strong
17:10but gentle
17:11and you know
