- I'm Nina Dobrev and I'm in New York City.

And I'm gonna show you guys

what my day-to-day makeup routine is.

But first let's start with washing my face.

First, I use my cleanser.

It's the most important at night, in my opinion,

to wash off all your makeup.

But also extremely important in the morning

to get all the serums and things off of your face

that have soaked in from the evening before.

Make a little cocktail, a little serum cocktail like that.

And then put the next one in there.

The different serums that I have,

this one is my hyaluronic serum by Dr. Sterum.

She also makes a calming serum,

which is extremely important for people like me

who have little like red rosaceous spots on their cheeks.

It kind of like calms the skin.

And mix it all.

I'm obsessed with little mini-containers.

So, Dewyer makes this little travel-sized

eye cream that I love.

I put this on in the morning, at night,

whenever I have a flight, all the time.

And I also make a cocktail of my creams.

So, I'll put a little bit of that cream,

then I will take my Tatcha dewy cream.

This one's amazing as well.

Put that in there.

Then I will take my sunscreen.

I will take my glow drops.

These are my secret sauce.

Mixture cocktail.

I am a big believer in lymphatic drainage

because I sleep on my face.

And when you sleep on your face,

all the blood rushes to your face

and you wake up really puffy.

You have dark circles.

So, I was taught to go upward,

put it to the side and down my neck.

I keep my eye patches in the fridge so that they stay cold.

That way, at the very last minute

when I take them out, if my eyes are puffy,

I put them right on and it constricts the blood

and sort of de-puffs my eyeballs.

So, I put these bad boys on,

they work their magic.

I also like doing cryotherapy 'cause cryotherapy

really helps tighten your skin

and it helps with cellulite and other things.

I have a couple of little breakouts happening.

I call them aliens.

And I usually name my aliens.

They invade my skin and they're unwelcome guests

and I like to tell them that they need to leave.

But they don't sometimes,

but it's kind of my fault.

The aliens arrive whenever I cheat.

I love cheeseburgers and I love cheese

and food and all kinds of things,

but I have an intolerance to gluten and dairy

and all kinds of different allergies and sensitivities.

So, when that happens and when I cheat,

I have all kinds of little tips,

things that you can do to cover up your pimples like I do.

Okay, as you see these guys are getting a little crazy,

which means it's time to go bye bye.

The next step is under-eye concealer.

I use Cle de Peau.

And I usually mix it with my foundation.

This color is a little bit darker than my skin

and that is because I use a lot of sunscreen.

I mix Dior Skin Forever Glow, a 3W and 2W.

Then I mix it all up

to make sure it's even.

And from there, I usually use whatever

is left on my finger to blend my neck.

I cannot express to you guys how important it is

to not just put foundation on your fache, okay?

Sometimes, as you can see, I get little breakouts

on my chest 'cause I work out a lot.

And when you workout, if you sweat

and don't shower immediately after,

sometimes there's traffic and it takes me

ten minutes to get to my house from the gym.

Sometimes, I'll get little breakouts

and so I cover it up with a little concealer.

The way I apply my foundation is with a beauty blender.

I just recently discovered these bad boys and I am obsessed.

I will dip it onto one end and then I just pat.

Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

So, I'll take a black pallet

and I'll just kinda rub in the lash line.

Then, I take a Q-tip,

I wet it with my saliva 'cause I'm lazy,

and I delete.

I delete all the way down.

And then there's a tiny, tiny thin line now

at the base of my lashes.

I kinda look like a raccoon.

Look like a fugly raccoon for just a nanosecond.

And then you go back to your trusty Q-tip.

Lick and delete.

You don't want there to be any, any, any black at all.

And by trying to get it all off,

you end up, inevitably,

just like you can't get it all off.

I remember I used to go to events.

Like I'd go to an event and have like this crazy smokey eye.

And then I'd wash my face when I got home

from the event and I'd go to sleep.

And then I'd wake up and I'd still have

that tiny, tiny little thin black line.

And then I realized that that's how you get the black line.

That looks perfect.

Now, that I have sort of the foundation around my eyes,

I'm really obsessed with doing the messy brow.

I love getting these guys all the way up.

So, I will take my Surratt.

It is a brow pomade and it's really thick.

You can see it's like white here

but then it dries kinda clear.

And I'll brush it in the opposite direction

of my eyebrows so that it makes them stick up real high.

Remember when it was trendy to have sex hair?

Like you just had that sexy, tousled look?

Now we're bringing it to the brows, ladies and gentlemen.

Kind of caveman-y, which I'm super into.

I will take my concealer and I mix it

with the foundation that's on my hand.

I'm super insecure about my dark circles

because I was on a vampire show for a very, very long time

so we shot at night.

And we didn't sleep very much.

And so I had major, major dark circles.

And one thing that I've learned, recently,

is that dark circles are actually,

yes, they happen because you don't sleep a lot.

But a lot of the time,

dark circles are also because you're dehydrated.

So, it's super important to drink a lot of water

is what I have learned in recent years.

I've gotten a lot better at it.

I'm still not as good as I should be but I try.

I use the beauty blender again to get 'em.

But then I'll go over them again

with this guy and my foundation.

And I'll sort of sport treat 'em.

Bye, Jimmy.

What should we call this guy?

Joe?

Why are they all guys?

Girls can invade faces, too.

This is Stephanie.

Goodbye, Stephanie.

This is when I like to

go over my under-eye one last time.

This next step is very important for pimples.

You ready?

This is when you have to lock 'em in,

make sure that the foundation doesn't move.

So, you have to use powder.

And you just sort of dab.

I use small brush and only put it under my eyes

because that's where I don't want it to move.

And then I just like attack the little pimples

that we just covered up.

What I like to do is I'll take this pallet,
