Meghann Fahy Thinks About Jennifer Coolidge—and Contraception—Every Time She Moisturizes

Hey Vogue, I'm Meghann Fahy,

and I am going to walk you through

my sort of dry skin sometimes, adult acne,

morning skincare routine.

And then I'm gonna show you my everyday makeup routine.

First step is my cleanser.

It's really gentle and super non-drying.

Honestly, the last couple years,

I started getting regular facials

and kind of investing in what was I actually putting

on my skin.

And I'm here to tell you

it really made a difference.

At nighttime, this is usually when I see

how much makeup I still have on my face,

but today it's clean.

This serum, which is especially hydrating,

and I do think you're supposed to put it in your palm

and then put it on your face.

But I like to go straight in for the real thing

and just put it right directly on my face.

I put it on my neck too

because one of the Real Housewives said once,

Do not neglect the neck.

And I can't stop thinking about that.

My Pro-Heal Serum, it's vitamin C.

And again, straight on the face with it.

I watched Julianne Moore do this

and she just seemed so cool.

I mean she's so cool.

But she like put a couple drops in her hand

and like pressed it into her skin,

which I do think is the correct way to do this.

But you know what? It's your skincare routine. You do you.

Okay, eye cream. This stuff.

I was overusing this,

and what was happening was I was putting it on

and then I was putting my concealer on

and it was doing that thing

where it like gets all gross on your face

and I was having to wipe it off

and then I realized that I was just using too much of it so.

And then last step is my moisturizer,

with SPF 30 in it, Paula's Choice.

Jennifer Coolidge told me

when we were shooting White Lotus

that it sounded like a pregnancy foam, Paula's Choice.

And I think about that when I put it on.

But what I love about it is A, it has sunscreen in it,

and B, once it's rubbed in

and it doesn't look like I have zinc all over me,

it really gives the skin a nice glow.

I think when I was younger I never wanted

to wear sunscreen 'cause I wanted to be tan.

But then I learned that I can't tan,

I just get freckles and sunburns.

So now I've really embraced the SPF.

It feels like everybody knows now

that that's sort of the number one anti-aging thing

that we can all do.

And because this like makes my skin kind of like glowy,

if I'm not wearing makeup or something

and I put this on,

I still kind of feel like I've done something.

Last step in my skincare

is just I put a little bit of this on.

I know it says sleeping mask,

but I wear it a lot when I'm awake.

Foundation. I like to shake it a little.

I like to just put it right, right on my face.

Direct contact.

I probably should use one of those cool girl sponges,

but I, I don't.

And this is Replica Handbag Store and I have to tell the truth to Vogue.

I do have a cool girl sponge.

I just only use it for concealer for some reason.

And this one comes in this little egg,

which is cute 'cause I feel like it keeps the sponge clean.

This is my concealer.

Little bags and then I do like,

I have a little something there

so I just kind of hit it like that.

A little something there.

I love trying new stuff.

I think I love it a little too much.

I will walk into a Sephora to buy one thing

and I'll come out with like two bags full of stuff.

I also kind of just drag this across my eyelid a little bit

'cause I'm so fair skinned

that sometimes my eyes look really red on my eyelids.

When I was little, another thing that I didn't like,

apart from sunscreen, was having freckles at all.

And now I've sort of embraced them.

So I try to pick makeup

that doesn't make them feel like

they've been erased in any way.

Little bronzer moment.

I just kind of like swish it

and then I do that on the mirror.

I don't know why.

I do try to pick up certain things

when I'm, you know, on set.

I, obviously, get my makeup done so often.

And one thing that I still have not been able

to do is my eye makeup.

I have no less than 75 eyeshadow palettes

and all of them remain unused, which is really sad.

First, we're gonna do blush.

so I kind of like swipe it with this.

It's giving clown cheek,

which this might be leaning towards a little bit.

Take this bad boy back out of his little egg house.

I'm a huge lash person.

I feel like I don't look like I have any

until I'm wearing mascara.

And I love this one, this Victoria Beckham one,

because it kind of, like at night when you wash it off,

it doesn't get all of your face.

It just sort of comes off.

Okay, this is the part where I try to do this

and keep my mouth closed

because the reality of the situation is that,

when I'm at home and I'm doing this,

I look a lot like this.

But again, it's Replica Handbag Store so I'm gonna try to keep my mouth.

It's a lot harder for me than it looks like,

especially the bottom lashes.

It has to be this.

So this is my eyebrow pencil.

I've been super duper blonde.

I've been like hybrid, which is kind of what I am right now.

And it's hard to find a shade that isn't too dark for me

or too light 'cause I don't really have blonde eyelashes,

but I just have very light brown one.

For Drop,

I was in a really cool hair and makeup look

because the whole thing takes place on a date.

So she's sort of a little bit extra glammed.

I kind of had like a red lip going,

which isn't something I normally do in my actual life

because I don't have the patience to maintain a lipstick.

But when someone else is doing it for you,

it's way more fun.

So that was really awesome.

Okay, brow gel. Here we go.

I'm a huge Q-tip fan. I always travel with them.

I always have them in my purse.

I always have them in my makeup bag.

Because I just feel like they're like, what can't they do?

Do one of these little guys.

And if I have some mascara on the top of my lid,

which I usually make enough of a mess to do.

Highlighter. I'm kind of obsessed with this.

I will put this on sometimes even if I don't have makeup on.

And I just do this, make kind of like an L-shape almost.

Another thing I haven't really figured out how to do

is like the little nose thing.

Like when you put it here.

See that looks crazy when I do it,

but I love it when other people do it.

I honestly think the trend I wish I could do

is like the nose shading

with the sort of like cutie little like frosted nose.

I was really into Avril Lavigne when I was a kid

and she didn't have freckles.

So I thought one day if I put enough foundation on,

my mom's foundation, that it would cover up the freckles.

And I've put like four or five layers on

and then my face was just like the color of those flowers

and I was devastated to learn

that that's not what foundation really does.

This Armani Beauty sort of like lipstick-lip gloss hybrid.

I've had this for years. They don't make it anymore.

And so I rarely use it because I love it so much.

I like the way it smells.

I've used this on The Bold Type all the time.

I think I actually just took it home when we wrapped.

If I smell it, still kind of reminds me

of that time in my life, which was a very good one.

So it's just my sentimental little lipstick.

But because I saved that one,

I use this one, which they do make.

I like that it feels like lipstick,

but it kind of goes on like gloss.

It's one of these little smudge moments.

Normally my hair is like up on top of my head,

but I do have a blowout today,

so I wanted to protect her and I will take out these clips.

Wow, I didn't do this to my own hair,

but I'm going somewhere this weekend.

So I just felt like, you know what?

Getting a blowout on a Friday

and having hair for the whole weekend, what a luxury.

That's the end of me

and we'll see how long my lipstick lasts.

I had a blast. Thanks Vogue.
