- Hey guys.

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

getting ready for Dior's Guggenheim event.

(upbeat music)

Very presumptuous, but I'm excited about it.

I am thrilled about it.

I am over the moon.

I am, actually, attending

the Guggenheim event that Dior throws.

I believe this is the sixth or seventh year

that they've had this event at the Guggenheim,

but it is my first time.

It's extra special for me because, as of today,

I've officially partnered with Dior Beauty

and I'm beyond excited to be a new member of the family.

- [Daniel] Yay!

- Yay!

And I have a cool gold eye. (laughs)

(casual music)

Usually the day of an event,

I'll go for a run and sweat

and then I'll also steam, maybe get a facial,

but you really wanna have a clean canvas

for your makeup artist.

Daniel.

- She's actually really great with Pinterest

and pulling out inspiration

and I feel like that translation's really nice

for a makeup artist or a hairdresser

because you have this clear vision

of what it is that you wanna do

so what we did was we structured out

this really cool gold eye,

but I used surgical tape to really get that straight edge

and then I really focused the gold

because it's a gold liquid.

It's a holiday product from Dior.

I focused it in the center of her eye

and then on the outer edge of her eye

and then in the middle I used my finger

with a bronzier shadow

just to create a bit of depth in low light

especially tonight's dinner,

you're really gonna see all that,

the glitter that picks up--

- The dimension.

To be honest with you, day to day,

I don't wear a lot of makeup.

I like to let my skin breathe

so that it's clear and clean and ready for an event

and it doesn't get too clogged up,

but when I do have to wear it for meetings

or if I have an event that I'm doing my own makeup for

I definitely steal a tip that has Daniel has taught me.

This being one of the biggest, most important ones,

the Beauty Blender.

I wet the Beauty Blender and dip it into the foundation

and Dior's Forever Foundation is amazing.

It really covers, but doesn't look cakey,

and that's really important to me,

like I never want it to look like

I'm wearing too much makeup.

- So for the hair tonight,

we wanted something super sleek, very chic and easy,

so we just went for the center part

to keep it super modern

and then I secured this pieces back

so on the red carpet, super easy,

she doesn't gotta worry about it coming out

or anything happening.

- While I'm getting ready,

I don't really get too stressed.

I listen to music,

sometimes I'll have a cocktail,

unless it's the Oscars, that I've never attended,

I don't really get nervous,

so, I guess, come back to me if I go to the Oscars

and then we'll talk about what I do to de-stress.

I guess I was nervous that night

because the dress is so big and it was so structured

and I was so worried about it wrinkling,

so we had to get a stretch limo

so that I could lay across the car

so that the bottom of the dress wouldn't wrinkle,

and it was really uncomfortable in Los Angeles traffic.

It's a great ab workout, now that I think about it.

I remember had the really long hair,

kind of like my hair is now, it's starting to grow.

I cut it for a role for a film

to about my chin length.

It's been growing like a weed.

I had the French bangs for the character as well.

I really liked it for the role

and I really love transforming for roles,

but at the same time, as a human day to day,

it was probably the most inconvenient

hairstyle that I've ever had,

because I don't really know how to do my hair that well.

I'm more of a makeup girl, not so much a hair girl,

so I usually have

like a great makeup application face in life,

and then my hair will just look like Tarzan or Chewbacca.

I think it's just 'cause I'm spoiled, though.

I think because I've worked

with so many amazing hairstylists,

they kinda do their thing

and I never really needed to learn how to do it.

That's what I'm gonna blame it on, at least.

What do we want, guys?

Can we just do family style?

What if I like order a bunch of things

and we all kinda like pick at everything?

- [Daniel] That's perfect.

- Food is the most important thing and it dictates

almost all of my decisions in life at all times.

I have to eat like every couple of hours.

Before an event, yeah I always have to eat,

because you never know

if the food at the event's gonna be good,

so I always make sure to show up full

and then I'll probably still eat when I get there again.

Okay how do we feel about chicken wings and,

- Chicken fingers.

- chicken fingers, yeah.

Get some chicken fingers and French fries.

I'm getting beef sliders with black truffle dressing.

Mmm, truffles.

Daniel knows that he doesn't usually finish

the bottom of my face until the very, very, very end,

- 'Cause she'll eat.

- 'cause I'll eat and mess it up

and you'll have to do it again, so.

This past Halloween, actually every Halloween,

I kinda, I sorta like Halloween.

Kinda go all out.

I always wanna do something that's kinda

either pop culture relevant or funny

or just like, you know,

I like get to be something silly and never,

I don't often go for the whole sexy Halloween thing.

This past year,

it actually didn't take that long,

actually Billie was pretty easy,

'cause it was just green hairspray

and I took paper towels

and basically just put the paper towel here

and then took a hair clip and then clipped it

and on both sides and I just sprayed down the middle,

waited 'til it dried, and then took it off.

Oh, the only thing that was actually challenging

were the nails.

I bought them from CBS

and they were like stick on acrylic ones

and you just like glue on the inside and you stick it on,

but they were clear so I could paint them green first,

then I waited for that to dry

and then I stick them on,

but you can only like, they're so long,

that it was kinda awkward and hard to do.

Once you stuck it, it stayed stuck,

then if you got glue somewhere else,

it was like part of your body for the next six years.

It was like a whole thing,

but then when I woke up the next morning,

still was Billie Eilish in every capacity,

including the nails.

I had to go to a nail salon

and get them removed professionally--

- [Daniel] Oh no.

- and soak in like this acetone stuff

'cause the glue was so heavy duty.

Brad was a lot easier to do, surprisingly.

Oh actually, one thing was hard about,

I had to A) find a dog

'cause I don't have a pit bull

and that dog in the movie is so iconic,

so I ended up going to Zoey Dech's house

and borrowing little Mable,

and the beard, I had a really hard time

like getting that perfect five o'clock shadow

with Mr. Bradley.

So these little spiky things, I would dip it in the cream

and then I went (tongue clicking).

- [Daniel] Oh, ouch.

- Yeah, it kinda hurt a little bit,

- [Daniel] But it worked.

- but it worked.

I look like this.

Oh, yeah, come on in.

Yay.

(casual music)

Oh my god.

This is heaven.

(upbeat music)

I'm excited to get to go to the Guggenheim

and have this intimate experience in such an iconic place.

Tonight we'll be able to actually roam around

and look at the artwork and check out the exhibition.

That's what I'm probably mostly looking forward to,

and just celebrating,

and I've been a friend of the brand for such a long time

and it's really nice to officially kinda join the team

and celebrate that.

It's been a dream of mine since I was a little girl

to work Dior and my family,

part of my family lives in France,

so Dior is such a staple and such a iconic sort of elegant

brand and it's just what I've always imagined is the

most chic endgame that you can possibly have,

so it's exciting to be,

be in good company.

(upbeat music)

All right.

This is the final look, you guys.

Thanks so much for hanging out with me.

I'm off to the event, so see you guys later.

(upbeat music)
