[laughing]

- Hey, I'm Grimes, and I'm gonna walk

you through my skincare routine,

and sort of a psychedelic makeup look that I do.

First step, I usually wash my face.

[soft electronic music]

Cool, and then I usually use, like a mist.

[spritzing]

After I hydrate, mist, I usually use

this Korean essence.

Really been helping me deal

with my, I don't know, pregnancy skin problems.

I don't know if everyone has this, but when I got

knocked up, my skin just turned super red

and just constantly covered in stuff.

Sort of just like rosacea, so, doing

makeup is just way harder when you're pregnant,

for some reason.

Okay, so next, I usually use a serum.

And I like vitamin C serum, 'cause, I don't know,

supposedly, it protects you from the sun.

I haven't verified any of this

scientifically, so, this is just hearsay,

but, probably true.

Korean eye cream.

And I just use a tiny little bit.

I think it just sort of like, I don't know,

keeps you looking fresh and youthful. [laughing]

And yeah, then if I have a shoot or something,

I use this, or ice.

Sometimes I just take ice and put

it all over my face.

If you're on tour or something it kinda helps,

especially if you're like.

Tour makeup is weird, stage makeup is weird.

I'm not gonna do stage makeup,

'cause it's like, you know,

I usually, actually just take a bunch

of white clown makeup and just go hardcore.

But it can be quite flattering at times.

I mean the thing about tour that really messes

you up is like, I think just traveling a lot.

Like flying a lot, you get really dry skin.

So then, I usually do sunscreen,

and I really like this weird Japanese sunscreen,

'cause it kinda has no texture.

All my skincare stuff is something that I started

doing in the last year.

'Cause I was like, "Oh shit, I'm 30."

Well actually 31 now, and I was like, "Better

"start taking care of myself, or I'm gonna

"like, I don't know."

Well, whatever.

It's showbiz. [laughing]

Now this isn't an everyday thing, but, I guess

we'll do more serious makeup.

So I usually use primer if I'm gonna do

not daylight makeup.

Yeah, I pretty much always do my own makeup.

Which is not necessarily a good thing,

'cause there's a lot of pictures

of me looking insane.

But I think I'm slowly improving at it.

In the everyday kind of thing, I really like

this tinted sunscreen, which is, I mean, I don't

really go in the sun anyway.

I stay up late and get up late, and avoid

nature at all costs.

But, too much sunscreen,

you can never really have

too much sunscreen, I think.

I usually just wear this.

Like if it's a regular day,

or when I'm not pregnant, I don't need

to wear as much makeup 'cause I'm not all red.

So this is like, chill vibes skin.

But then, if I'm going a bit

harder, I'll usually use the Fenty stuff,

'cause it's pretty hardcore.

It's really thick.

And then I like this super white one.

I guess it's maybe a bit kinda clown,

sort of goth, you know.

And then I like. [tapping]

[soft electronic music]

I don't usually have long nails,

but I have long nails right

now, just 'cause I'm not working on music,

at the moment.

Well, actually, that's kind of a lie,

but, I don't need to be virtuosic

on a guitar at this point in time,

so it's sort of a brief window

where I can have luxurious nails.

'Cause it definitely makes me feel happier.

Big claws.

[tapping]

I really like this powder.

Again, I got this

from a Pony's Makeup tutorial. [laughing]

This stuff just looks really nice.

[blowing]

If you use the tinted moisturizer

and then this, it's just a very clean,

day to day kinda vibe.

I always like a little bit of chapstick.

This lip liner.

It's a black lip liner.

But I always just like.

I put it actually over, on the outside

of my lips, kinda thing.

But for some reason it just makes

me look like I have really nice lips,

I don't know.

If I was stuck with one thing,

it's this lip liner, I wear it every day.

I also like to do big eyebrows.

And I have this weird eyebrow thing.

It doesn't go on your skin, it just colors

the hairs, so it's kinda cool.

I used to have a great unibrow,

like fully a unibrow, and I did wreck

it in high school, 'cause it doesn't

really come back anymore.

Which is sad, to me.

That was a mistake.

Because I feel like unibrows are super

cool now, I don't know.

If I could have it back, I would.

Okay, what did I do, oh yeah,

I better go to eyeliner.

I like these Pat McGrath ones, 'cause they

sorta come off throughout the day,

and then they come down your eyes.

And I like, like after I've been wearing

this for a few hours, I get this kinda rock

and roll, [chuckling] I don't know,

this edgy look, 'cause I have tears of darkness.

And I was on a shoot yesterday, so I kinda have

stuff in my eyes.

[soft electronic music]

Yeah, I definitely like the day after makeup.

I like just smudgy makeup,

I like days of makeup.

I pretty much don't remove my eye makeup,

I just let it come off.

Yeah, so I don't know, I sorta never do

makeup up here.

I have a weird, round face.

So I like making my eyes just very intense

with this just in here, and really in there,

and then I just don't do anything on top.

And then I don't usually use mascara,

'cause I look kinda dumb with mascara on.

But I like the blue mascara.

I don't know if I should do this right now, but.

I'll do one eye.

It'll be a creative decision.

So yeah, I'll do one eye, and then we can see

which one looks better, I guess.

Yeah, see, it's better without.

It's just like a Minnie Mouse look.

I feel like it's more edgy without it.

Ugh.

Yeah, okay, see, mascara doesn't, some

people don't look good with mascara.

I'm one of them.

I don't usually put stuff under my eyes,

'cause I like having bags under my eyes.

Like I like looking kinda scary.

So sometimes I just sorta do kinda,

and then I'm like.

Scary look.

Yeah, see, that's kinda like an edgy,

I kinda like how it sorta looks demonic.

Maybe I'll do the other eye.

I really like the Kardashians' makeup.

I just like the look.

I mean, it's like, obviously some neanderthal

thing where you just like the big eyes,

and the lips, and the contouring,

but it doesn't look good on me, so I can't do it.

But I also really like Bollywood makeup,

that's probably my favorite.

The movie Devdas, the girl in the movie Devdas

just has the prettiest makeup.

'Cause it's just the big eyes.

Eyeliner, especially in here,

kinda gives that vibe.

Then after this, I usually take,

this is more Pat McGrath stuff, but this

is kinda like not shiny lipstick,

so I just kinda like.

It just kinda stains your lips,

and it sorta makes the lip liner,

makes it all look like one thing.

I like the look of being pretty,

but ravaged by war.

Like the character Eva in Metal

Gear 3, or something.

I don't know if anyone knows

who I'm talking about.

Like a bit pretty, but in the game.

One last thing I like to do is take a bit

of shiny stuff.

I think it might be clashing

with the red, but whatever.

Picks up the light, looks cool.

I probably should do looks for albums.

But I just don't have the, like I'm too, I just

like to do it day by day, look by look,

just vibe creatively.

I'm not good at choosing a look

and sticking to it.

But there is a notable lack of continuity

in my look, which is arguably a problem,

but maybe not.

Ooh, I also really like just taking glitter.

I actually, I don't have it here, but I like

this stuff called BioGlitz,

'cause it's biodegradable,

so there's no repercussions.

But I like to put it in my part.

Like, I don't know, just dump

it on myself, really.

I do a lot of painting and drawing,

and so I like to just, you know,

if I have a show, or something.

Just, a little heart on here, but, you know,

just sort of draw things on, like, let's see.

Okay, this might be crazy.

Like, if I'm going to a party, or something,

I just like to like, not look too, oh, see,

I try to never touch the lines.

[soft electronic music]

Not look too normal.

[soft electronic music]

Yeah, I'll definitely let my kid use makeup.

I'll definitely let my kid dye their hair.

I remember my parents wouldn't let

me dye my hair, and then I slowly bleached

it, over years.

I would get slightly lighter, slightly

lighter, and just pretend my hair

was getting naturally bleached by the sun,

and my parents

were like, "Is your hair getting lighter?"

And I was like, "I don't know, I don't know

"what you're talking about."

And then finally, they were just like,

"Okay, you're bleaching your hair." [laughing]

I was like 11, when I started

secretly dyeing my hair.

I have no idea what my natural hair color is.

[soft electronic music]

So recently, I burned off a ton of my hair.

My hair was really long, and really nice,

and the bottoms had been black,

'cause I dyed them black,

And so I was like, "Okay, I'm just gonna

"do one final bleach, and just bleach

"the bottom of my hair, and I'm gonna

"have beautiful Khaleesi hair,

"and it's gonna be amazing."

And then it all, it burned

off, like so, it was devastating.

It was actually so devastating,

I'm like, crying thinking about it.

But I've recently lost a significant
