Olivia’s Favorite: What it means to feel emotionally gratifying.
“If I could send a note to the Glossier community, I’d say, ‘You look good exactly as you are. You’re just perfect, and don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise.”
Olivia Rodrigo for Glossier.
As some of you may know, or should know, Olivia Rodrigo has been running through our minds ever since her release of her iconic and influential album “Sour” and can’t seem to escape us, but who’s complaining? Not only has she already won three Grammy’s at the the age of 19, she has also made a prominent impact on the way young girls and boys express themselves. Through her angst yet elegant style, Olivia has mastered the look of a fresh and eye appealing makeup look through the eyes and masterful minds of Glossier; my go to as well.
Personally, I have always loved learning and watching the different ways actresses, singers, and even models apply their makeup. Some have a 5 step routine and most, even myself, have a deliberate routine that takes time and patience, and a couple of shuffles of our Spotify playlists. Quality over quantity, right? Anyways… I discovered Olivia’s makeup routine through watching “Beauty Secrets”, a segment on Vogue YouTube, and I was just so, so obsessed. I was already a big fan of Glossier, (go check out my Glossier post), but after watching Olivia talk about how Glossier makes you not only look good but feel good, I was even more hooked.
“When I look in the mirror, I see someone who’s striving to be better and do better, who likes to take care of herself and people around her. That always looks good–when you’re taking care of yourself on the inside.”
Olivia Rodrigo for Glossier.
On April 19, 2022, Olivia announced to her millions of followers and fans her collaboration with Glossier and like many of those fans, I was ecstatic when I saw her campaign for Glossier. “I always feel best when I’m in makeup that I feel enhances what I have naturally”, said Olivia when explaining what it means to feel emotionally gratifying. Makeup is not just for looking good but feeling good. You should never feel obligated to cover your face with pounds and pounds of makeup, it should be your choice to do so. I, like Olivia, have found products that enhance my natural features, not only by the way I apply them and the way the product is made, but through the way I feel in them. To feel is so important when it comes to Makeup because if you don’t feel it, don’t wear it. You are you, and there’s no changing that.

- Ultralip: buildable lip color with a three oil-blend and Hyaluronic Acid, pairing the comfort of a balm with the sheen of a gloss. “Makes me feel glowy and shiny.”
