  • - Hi, I'm Madelaine Petsch.

  • You may know me from CW's Riverdale ac Cheryl Blossom.

  • And, today I'm going to be sharing with you

  • some of my beauty secrets for a day full of meetings.

  • So, this is a little weird

  • but I always travel with a candle.

  • I just feel like it makes me feel like I'm more at home.

  • I'm in hotels a lot of my life.

  • But we're gonna light this baby up.

  • And I like to take my time.

  • If that means I have to take two extra hours in the morning

  • I'm gonna do it.

  • I just wanna take my time and feel no stress.

  • Okay, so, first I need to put my hair up.

  • One of my little secrets, I love tools.

  • Tools is my favorite thing on the planet.

  • I use so many beauty tools.

  • So, first one is this really cool little,

  • like, ice ball thing.

  • I put it in an ice bucket today

  • but I usually keep it in my freezer.

  • And it just kind of depuffs my face.

  • If you don't have one of these at home

  • I just recommend sticking your face

  • in an ice bucket for 20 seconds, literally, that's it.

  • Definitely started to take care of my skin

  • when I booked the show.

  • I feel like when you're on camera all the time

  • and people are just like looking at all of your pores

  • it's nice to make sure you're taking care of it

  • to the best of your ability.

  • Although, like, breakouts and stuff

  • you really can't control.

  • Who cares?

  • We all get breakouts.

  • When your cheeks are sufficiently frozen

  • this step is complete.

  • It's a very nice way to wake up

  • especially if you do the ice method.

  • Big fan, big fan.

  • My face is very puffy in the morning.

  • So, ice has always been a thing.

  • Next I have my Elderberry Soothing Toner from Renee Rouleau

  • and these cute little cloths she makes for it, I'm obsessed.

  • They're so soft, they're much softer than cotton rounds

  • which is why I love them.

  • I use this all the time.

  • It's soothing and my skin gets very red as you can see.

  • So, this is really nice.

  • I have this cute little tool from Sisley

  • that I use for under my eyes and this cream.

  • The large majority of my check-in suitcase

  • was just beauty tools.

  • Next, I go in with my vitamin C serum.

  • And I said vitamin because I get made fun of

  • for saying, vitamin, on set, which is fun.

  • So, just a couple drops of this bad boy.

  • I definitely think my skin has changed

  • since being on the show.

  • I mean, when people touch your face 24/7

  • it's really hard to not break out.

  • However, I've started doing my own makeup on the show.

  • And that's really changed my skin

  • 'cause I can control what's going on it and whatnot.

  • Next step and most important step is sunscreen.

  • I don't use too much, just like a little.

  • Would you call that a pea-sized amount?

  • Cheryl's makeup look has definitely evolved over the years.

  • I feel like in the beginning it was very heavy,

  • which is why my skin broke out all the time.

  • I had some pretty bad cystic acne season one.

  • I change her makeup according to

  • what's going on in the scene and what her mood is.

  • It feels more like something she would actually do.

  • Like, she's an extra girl.

  • And, so, it's nice to be able to incorporate her makeup,

  • which is something she would absolutely do,

  • into what the scene, what's going on in the scene

  • and what her mood is.

  • I really like doing that.

  • This is a little bit of moisturizer.

  • I just get a little pea-size amount right there.

  • This is The Water Cream from Tatcha, I love it.

  • Don't forget your neck.

  • I forgot my neck, don't forget your neck.

  • It's such an important part.

  • This is the NuFace.

  • I think it's called: The NuFace Pro.

  • And it's like two little prongs.

  • If you see, they go right over my cheek bone.

  • And it kinda just sculpts.

  • I mean, even you can see here how that line is there

  • but it's not on this side

  • just from those three times I've done it.

  • If I don't have face cream on it shocks my face.

  • So, it's highly important to have your face cream on.

  • I usually have it at like a medium level.

  • And I do seven times on each side.

  • And then I go down to my chin.

  • Let's get to the lips.

  • Exfoliating your lips is so important

  • especially for like the plumpness and the size of your lips.

  • I love this little, it's like really cute,

  • this little lip scrubber thing.

  • I think it's Nurse Jamie.

  • So, usually I will put how water on this first.

  • And then you just kinda scrub a dub dub.

  • It's kind of like a little massage for your lips, too.

  • Look at that!

  • Like, all the blood comes to your lips

  • and they just look better.

  • I don't know.

  • I do this twice a day.

  • I'll do it before.

  • I wear a lot of lipstick on the show.

  • I wear a nice, matte lipstick

  • that just goes right into your lips.

  • So, I'll do this before.

  • And then I'll also do it after, just to get rid of it.

  • Now, I have so many different lip masks

  • but I always put a lip mask on afterwards

  • just for a little bit.

  • I use a lot, layer it on.

  • I do two eye creams.

  • This one's great.

  • It's for kind of whitening your under eyes a little bit.

  • And I get dark circles when I travel.

  • So, I just pat this in.

  • I am a firm believer that there is

  • no such thing as too much skincare.

  • But there is such a thing as too much makeup.

  • So, I think if you take care of your skin well

  • you won't need as much makeup.

  • At least in my opinion or for my face.

  • Again, everyone's different.

  • Never, ever drag along your eye.

  • That's something I learned from Riverdale.

  • Always pat.

  • So, we're gonna do a little primer now.

  • Look at this tiny adorable cute little primer.

  • Just a little bit.

  • That's actually not a little bit that's a lot.

  • But I really like a lot.

  • So, season one I lived with Ms. Lili Reinhart

  • who plays Betty on the show.

  • And I didn't know a lot about skincare back then

  • or else I guess I thought I did but I didn't.

  • And so, she would extract my blackheads for me.

  • And she taught me a lot about skincare in those moments.

  • So, I'm very thankful to her.

  • If I've learned anything from being on the show

  • with so many amazing strong and powerful women

  • we all have such different skin that, honestly,

  • just do what works for you.

  • So, like, sometimes Lili will show me something

  • that doesn't work at all for my skin.

  • Cami uses a lot of products that would never use on my skin.

  • So, it's all about finding what works for you.

  • No, I have a neck cream.

  • I'm 25 and I have a neck cream.

  • Just a couple a pumps a that.

  • My mom always puts her products

  • all the way down onto her collar bone.

  • And I feel like you learn a lot

  • of your great beauty secrets from your mom.

  • My mom has a lot of sun spots and so does my dad

  • from growing up in South Africa.

  • And, so, that's why sunscreen

  • is so important in my daily routine

  • because they are so deathly afraid of me getting sunspots.

  • In fact, my dad had skin cancer a couple years ago.

  • And that's from being in South African sun for so long.

  • And, so, I'm so big on sunscreen for that reason.
