00:00Hey Vogue, it's Alex Cooper.

00:05Today I'm going to be showing you my skincare routine and I'm also going to recreate my

00:10wedding makeup look.

00:12So let's get into it.

00:15I have an honest thing to share with you right off the bat.

00:19I don't wash my face.

00:20Now please don't judge me.

00:21I just realized that like early on when I was breaking out a lot, my skin was super

00:26oily and it was confused and I was struggling a lot with my skincare.

00:29And when I stopped washing my face, all of a sudden I stopped having pimples.

00:35I had no idea what toner was about two years ago.

00:39So I just put a little bit in my hand here.

00:42It is really hydrating to my skin and everything I put on my face, I want to try to maintain

00:49some form of hydration.

00:51We all want to look like that Hailey Bieber donut.

00:54This is the advanced snail mucin.

00:57I'll do like two little squirts there.

01:00I will say this has been the one product that has kept my skin more hydrated, I would say

01:06past 20 minutes.

01:07I feel like whenever I'm putting on serums, I find that it feels amazing in the moment.

01:13And then all of a sudden I'm like downstairs making my coffee and I'm like, my face is

01:17already dry.

01:18This keeps me glowing.

01:20The next step, I remember, I think it was like four years ago, I saw Hailey Bieber in

01:25one of her YouTube videos and this was sitting in her bathroom.

01:29And immediately I'm like online, like I must look like Hailey Bieber and have that skin.

01:37Honestly I would say it was about like two years ago, I really started to care about

01:41my skin.

01:42And I know that's insane because I'm 29 years old, but I didn't really know the answers

01:47and there's so much information online.

01:48So I just started to kind of eyeball it and try different things.

01:52And now I feel like I figured out my place and I know it works for me.

01:56This is something I've been using recently and I love it.

01:58And it again, gives me that hydrated feel and it can't hurt to be more hydrated.

02:05I do find I've started to meditate more.

02:07My mother is really into that.

02:09So I'm like, you know what, mom, we're from the same DNA.

02:12I should probably lean into that.

02:14So I've been trying to meditate more.

02:15I'm not going to lie, it's quite hard with your phone because I'm constantly like, hmm.

02:20And I'm like looking down at my phone.

02:21I'm naturally very fair and I have quite a lot of freckles.

02:25So we're trying to mitigate the damage.

02:28I'm using this Elta MD.

02:33So ChapStick is a huge part of my life.

02:36Anywhere you look for me, you'll see this ChapStick somewhere.

02:39Burt's Bees Pomegranate.

02:40I really don't even use it for ChapStick.

02:42I use it because it has this really, really nice tint.

02:45Like sometimes Matt will come home and be like, I got you a Burt's Bees.

02:47And I'm like, it's not the pomegranate one though, Matt.

02:51This just feels right to me.

02:52If something feels right, you stick with it.

02:55And I think something I realized also from social media was like,

02:58I would look at someone doing something online and be like, I have to go buy that.

03:01What works on someone doesn't work on all of us.

03:04Okay, so now onto makeup.

03:05Something that was really important to me on my wedding day

03:08was making sure I looked like myself.

03:11First things first, this is the Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Primer.

03:18This is my favorite foundation at the moment,

03:21the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation.

03:25It deserves all the hype.

03:26I have been wearing this now, I would say for about a year

03:29and I have never gotten more compliments on my skin.

03:34Okay, so I know this looks like way lighter than my skin tone.

03:37Don't freak out.

03:38Don't panic.

03:39Trust me, trust me, trust me.

03:41There's a method to the madness.

03:47When I'm doing my makeup, I know, don't come for me, okay?

03:51I have to constantly wipe my lips off.

03:54I have always had an appetite to do more than just podcasting.

03:59I went to school for film and television.

04:00I've always wanted to be a director.

04:02I've always wanted to direct a film,

04:03which I probably, hopefully at one point will do.

04:06Let's manifest it right now.

04:07When I saw Alex Earl online and how hard she works on TikTok,

04:11I was like, she's a workhorse and she's an animal and she's so smart.

04:15And so Alex was the first person for the Unwell Network

04:18where when we started to conceptualize it,

04:20she really just like embodied everything that I wanted to do.

04:24Wait, we have to pause.

04:25The Mario contour stick.

04:27Everything I'm about to draw on my face,

04:28I learned from someone else.

04:30So this is from actually my makeup artist who did my wedding.

04:35This is not just me randomly painting on my face.

04:38And I'm still obsessed with Call Her Daddy

04:40and I still plan on doing Call Her Daddy,

04:42but I have an appetite to do more.

04:46We're just kind of blending.

04:48Oh my God, I always do this where I almost forget the nose.

04:51If we really want to snatch it, go up.

04:55I think this just kind of like gives you a little lift.

04:57If I'm honest, I used to be really, really insecure

05:00about my freckles and I would do foundation to the point

05:02where like people would be like,

05:04I didn't even know that you had freckles.

05:06Now I think it's beautiful to just lean into my skincare

05:08and just be like, this is how I was born.

05:10And I'm like, okay, I don't know what to do with this.

05:13I don't want to be insecure and just be like,

05:14this is how I was born.

05:15Let's lean in.

05:16Sometimes what I like to do is lightly, lightly

05:19go back in with the Giorgio.

05:26It's really cool because I was talking

05:28to everyone that I work with.

05:29And I recognize that of my list in 2022 of dream guests.

05:35I had 10 dream guests

05:38and I think I got seven out of the 10 dream guests.

05:40My dream guests for Call Her Daddy of 2024

05:43would probably be Taylor Swift, obviously.

05:45I would be insane if I didn't want Taylor Swift.

05:47She is just iconic.

05:49And I think she is so, so incredible and talented.

05:53And I love her and I love her music.

05:55Taylor, please come on Call Her Daddy.

05:56This is a cream blush.

05:58It's from Nudestix.

05:59I use pink ice.

06:01I love it.

06:01It works pretty well.

06:05I kind of put it all over my cheeks.

06:07I don't know if this is the wrong thing to do

06:11but I think it makes me look alive.

06:13The next thing I'm gonna do is my highlighter.

06:15It is from Anastasia Beverly Hills.

06:17It's the Glow Seeker Highlighter.

06:21Why do we put it on our nose again?

06:23I don't know.

06:24We want to look like a little fairy,

06:25like a little twinkling princess.

06:27My eyebrows are, how would you say, naturally translucent.

06:33So I dye my eyebrows myself

06:37because I'm a genius and I'm so good at it.

06:39No, I've had a lot of mishaps

06:41with my eyebrows.

06:42Honestly, it's been a disaster.

06:43Because the brows are dyed,

06:44we're just gonna go in with this Anastasia Brow Styling Wax.

06:49I will be honest, when I was getting married,

06:51leading up to my wedding,

06:52I was having a mental breakdown

06:53because I'm like, when do I dye the brows?

06:56And so I did it four weeks before my wedding.

06:59Thank God I trusted myself.

07:01We did the thing, we dyed them

07:04and I think they looked great.

07:05And even if they didn't, don't tell me

07:07because for my mental health,

07:08we need to just pretend it was amazing.

07:12Now I go in and fill it in with a pencil,

07:14Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz Dark Brown.

07:18So in the front, I basically just do tiny little strokes.

07:26Okay, the last piece of my makeup routine

07:29is going to be my mascara.

07:32I have pretty naturally long lashes.

07:34My left eye, I was naturally born.

07:36This is bright white eyelash and this is a brown eyelash.

07:41So whenever I'm dyeing my eyebrows,

07:43I also stick a little bit on there.

07:45Oh yeah, there's the blonde seeping through

07:46and then this one is naturally brown.

07:49Okay, so I use this Glossier Mascara.

07:55I feel like I could go get married right now.

07:57Matt, let's do it again.

07:58So obviously, seventh grade Alex

08:01on the way to the seventh grade dance

08:03would put this on her body

08:04and she knew boys were gonna come over.

08:07Viva La Juicy.

08:08I don't know, I don't use it every day,

08:10but when I'm feeling like I wanna feel cozy and nostalgic,

08:13like put me in.

08:18It just gives a little of like this glossy finish.

08:21I feel like we killed it.

08:23I'm happy with the way it turned out.

08:25I do really feel like it looks like what I did

08:27in Mexico for my wedding.

08:29So I hope you guys learned a little something from this

08:32or you learned what not to do.

08:33Daddy gang, I love you.

08:35Vogue, I love you.

08:37Thank you for having me.
