00:02 Hi Vogue, it's Carrie Mulligan.

00:06 I'm gonna walk you through my skincare

00:08 and my parent-teacher conference makeup look.

00:11 Hyaluronic Micellar H2O, a very pleasing kind of pump.

00:15 I love doing skincare and I spend, you know,

00:20 as much time as I can before I'm interrupted by a child

00:23 or my husband to go somewhere doing skincare stuff

00:27 'cause I love it and it feels like sort of such luxury

00:29 to spend time not talking to anyone.

00:31 This lovely stuff.

00:32 This is the Advanced Skin Repair Serum,

00:38 which you're meant to just use a bit of,

00:39 but I gloop it all over the place 'cause it feels so nice.

00:44 And then I always use a little bit of this,

00:46 which is a gorgeous moisturizer from Lancome,

00:49 which smells amazing as well.

00:51 It's super lightweight, but it's so hydration.

00:55 I can put it everywhere.

00:57 And crucially, all the way down my neck.

01:00 And then I put on this La Mer eye cream,

01:03 which I love and I've used forever.

01:06 And just smush it all around here.

01:08 I get out the big guns.

01:11 I, a couple of years ago, got the Limer Laser,

01:14 which is basically my Oscars present to myself.

01:17 And it's massive.

01:18 It is three lasers in one.

01:20 And it's the most amazing thing.

01:22 I used it the entire way on the plane.

01:24 You just hold it on one area for three minutes

01:27 and you can sit for hours with it.

01:29 It doesn't damage the cells, it just renews them.

01:31 I've got a scar here just above my brow

01:34 from when I walked into a door in the middle of the night

01:38 to go and feed my baby.

01:39 And this scar is going away.

01:41 This is a kind of a fun one.

01:43 Do that for a while.

01:44 This is gonna be going everywhere with me.

01:47 All over me.

01:49 Okay.

01:49 This is from IS Clinical

01:51 and this is obviously a daily essential sunscreen.

01:56 Even when it's cloudy.

01:57 Then all the way down my neck and then down here.

02:03 So my skin is ready

02:05 and I'm gonna get into my parent-teacher conference mode.

02:08 So this is a foundation, Chantecaille foundation.

02:11 I just do everything with my fingers.

02:13 I've quite enjoyed that a lot of my jobs

02:17 haven't involved makeup because I think,

02:21 first of all, it saves you time in the chair

02:23 in the morning.

02:24 But it's also, there's an onus on beauty,

02:27 I think, in our industry that can be quite overwhelming.

02:30 And I think I've enjoyed that a lot of my roles

02:32 have not really been about that stuff.

02:36 But when there has been more makeup involved recently,

02:39 it's actually been really fun.

02:40 So on Maestro, we had lots of different ages

02:43 and stages to go through.

02:44 So Felicia started as a young girl, 25,

02:48 and went all the way through to 56.

02:49 And just the makeup process of that was fascinating.

02:53 And then on Saltburn,

02:54 I played a really fun character called Poor Dear Pamela.

02:58 And Poor Dear Pamela's makeup was just so fabulous.

03:00 And it was almost an entire mask of makeup.

03:03 And that was really fun.

03:05 It was very collaborative

03:06 and I loved working with that team.

03:08 This is a Sisley concealer.

03:11 I've always been very willing to sort of let people

03:16 do whatever they want to do, sort of creatively.

03:19 So I've had peroxide blonde hair

03:23 for a part that I filmed for just a day

03:27 that was cut from the film.

03:28 I've cut it all off.

03:29 I've, in fact, in one of the makeup tests

03:33 for the Great Gatsby, they did my eyebrows.

03:38 They plucked them pencil thin.

03:40 So they were, you know, really typical 1930s.

03:44 I looked awful.

03:46 (upbeat music)

03:49 At the Met Ball a couple of years ago,

03:57 I had a huge kind of horrible thing here.

04:01 And I did the exact wrong thing and I messed with it.

04:04 And then I went to go and see Joanna Cech,

04:06 who is an amazing facialist in New York.

04:09 She tried with all her might to do something about it

04:13 and it just wasn't shifting.

04:15 So I called up the wonderful girl

04:20 who was doing my hair that day.

04:22 And I was like, "I can't, we have to find a way

04:24 "to cover my forehead 'cause this is like a problem."

04:27 So within literally two hours,

04:30 she had gone to a place, bought a fake fringe

04:35 that exactly matched my hair color,

04:37 met me at my house and put a fake fringe on me.

04:42 And when I got to the Met Ball

04:44 and I got up to the top of the stairs

04:46 and Anna didn't know who I was

04:49 because my fringe was so transformative.

04:51 And I said, "Anna, it's Carrie."

04:52 And she was like, "Oh."

04:54 So if it were up to me,

04:56 I'd have like massive caterpillars on my face

04:58 'cause I just love big brows.

05:00 Whenever I do that, it always feels like

05:03 I'm trying to sort of paint on lines.

05:05 I feel like when you kind of rub it across your brows,

05:08 the color kind of sticks to it

05:11 and it fills it in in a way that to me

05:13 looks a bit more realistic or a bit more natural.

05:17 And I like them all brushed up and fluffy like that.

05:20 Yeah, there you go.

05:25 I always like to have them sort of slightly pasted down.

05:28 And now my brows look nice.

05:33 This is a little bit of eyeshadow that's just nice.

05:35 I think it being presentable

05:38 for Parent Teacher Conference

05:40 could impact the academic future of my children.

05:44 So I do, I think it's something to take seriously.

05:47 This is an Addiction Tokyo mascara.

05:51 I like to have a bit of eyeliner,

05:54 but I just like to have a little flixie on the corner

05:56 just to open up my eyes a little bit.

05:58 Kind of in between a bit of where the mascara is

06:01 and the top lash line.

06:03 I think black on me can look a little bit harsh.

06:07 So I like brown 'cause it's a bit more,

06:10 it blends in a little bit more.

06:11 Blush.

06:13 I've used the same blusher, I think, like a decade.

06:20 I don't even know when this came out,

06:21 but this is, it's a Valentino.

06:24 I love this 'cause it's from Fresh

06:29 and I've used it on a bunch of different jobs

06:30 where I'm not meant to be wearing lipstick, really.

06:32 It's a tinted lip balm.

06:36 And then on Maestro, my makeup artist, Sian,

06:40 introduced me to this, which we used for the bits

06:43 where I'm meant to be 25.

06:45 So we used all sorts of things to try and look 25.

06:47 It was a blast.

06:48 It just makes you look kind of glowy

06:53 and I'm sure you can overdo it,

06:54 but I don't think you can overdo it.

06:55 So I spray this.

06:57 Then, once I'm out and about

07:00 and if I get to a point where I feel like

07:02 I've been away from my house for a few hours

07:04 and my makeup's gone a bit dry,

07:06 I always use this cordly spray.

07:08 I don't do much with my hair

07:10 because I've got a very good haircut at the moment,

07:13 if I do say so myself.

07:14 I really like this, which is Olaplex Oil,

07:18 'cause it's somehow,

07:19 even if I've got little bits of fly away or whatever,

07:21 I just smush this.

07:22 Little bit more of this 'cause it's fun to have pink lips.

07:29 The teachers.

07:30 And that's pretty much it.

07:34 This was so much fun.

07:35 I'm gonna go and see how well or not well

07:38 my children are doing at school, feeling kind of great.

07:41 Bye.
