“First step: Hydrate,” Rita Ora tells Vogue at the opening of her “Beauty Secrets” video, as she kicks off her 37-step routine. She follows up with an application of the Typebea G1 Overnight Boosting Peptide Serum on her scalp and along her hairline, which won’t leave any residue as she continues to get ready. “And then you get on with your whole day!” she exclaims.
Following a subtle scalp massage, the British singer-songwriter starts her skin-care routine with her go-to cleanser: the Shani Darden Cleansing Serum. “Wow, this is giving…clean,” she says, drying her face before using the Zo Skin Health Complexion Renewing Pads for a quick exfoliation. To “settle everything in,” she uses the Shani Darden Toner. “I just like anything that feels like I’m drinking water,” Ora explains, ahead of her serum application.
Her favorite is the Peter Thomas Roth Peptide Skinjection serum, which helps prevent wrinkles. To keep her skin “snatched,” she then turns to her travel-size micro-current machine, which sculpts, lifts, tones, and de-puffs her face.
For added moisture, Ora uses the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, mixing it with the Charlotte Tilbury Island Glow Tanning Drops to create a DIY tinted moisturizer of sorts. “It leaves this incredible shine every time I wear it,” she says, “and everyone asks me ‘what have you got on?’” And, of course, she can’t forget her SPF! After she puts on her 111 Skin eye patches, it’s time for makeup.
She starts with the Victoria Beckham x Augustinus Bader Golden Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer, followed by an application of bronzing drops and the Westman Atelier foundation. “I started learning how to do makeup when I was about 16 for my first job, which was with Steven Meisel for Calvin Klein, when I started singing,” Ora shares. To get her bronzed base, she uses a Tom Ford Cream Contour, along with a smoky liquid eye shadow, layered with some shades from the Isamaya eye shadow palette and the Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm palette.
To enhance the smoky eye, she uses the Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal eye liner, smudging it a bit on her bottom waterline, coupled with the Vast lash mascara.
To finish off her bronzed, dewy look, Ora sets her brows with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze, enhances her cheeks with the Charlotte Tilbury Highlight Blush, and adds some color to her lips with the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Plumpgasm.
