[car hoots] [upbeat music]

We are on the way to the pub.

I've got 10 minutes to get ready.

[Beabadoobee squeals]

I'm doing it, I'm doing it. But I'm also gonna vomit.

We're on a bridge. Oh look, it's the Houses of Parliament.

[Beabadoobee squeals]

Let's do it.

[bright music]

Hey. Hello.

Hello. I'm running late.

Do you know how long the drive is?

[Cabbie] Get you there as quickly as I can.

Awesome. We are on the way to the pub.

I need to get ready. Gonna do my eyeliner.

It's by Givenchy. Is that how you say it?

I'm gonna try and do my waterline

and it's gonna be, I'm kind of scared.

Oh, I look cute.

When I'm on the road and I do my makeup,

I just don't take my makeup off.

How long is it gonna take now?

[Cabbie] We should be there in about seven minutes.

That's alright. I think that's fine.

Ow.

Now I'm gonna do some lip. I use Kiko.

Don't buy it because every time I go to Kiko it's sold out.

So it's actually Shade 12, whatever.

I dab it on, 'cause like putting lipstick on

is stressful for me.

I use my finger to kind of blend, you know, blend it around.

I think that keeps it natural.

And then like what you get on your finger,

you just put it absolutely everywhere on your face,

like nose.

And then cheeks, I've been really obsessed with the idea

of just like constantly looking like a little bit sunburnt.

I mean, you can't really do that in England,.

[Beabadoobee chuckles]

People used to make me look like super, super rock chick

all the time because they were like,

Oh, like she plays guitar, so Avril Levine.

And I'm like, Whoa. No, leave me alone.

So I waterlined my eyes

and now I'm just going in with like an eyeshadow brush

and just some black eyeshadow

and just kind of smudge out the ends.

Ow. Ow.

[bright music continues]

Now I'm gonna do some bronzer.

I've got Victoria Beckham Contour Stick.

I'm gonna like contour my nose,

like kind of give me a little bronze.

It just smudges really well.

It just smudges? It blends.

I've always kind of contoured my nose

'cause I like it to look like a button.

Yeah! Where's my little bronzer thingy?

Bronzer. Look at this cat.

There's two cats on it.

Just put it all over my face. I think that's it.

Oh yeah. Hair stuff.

Bed Head. Look how cute the bottle is.

I feel like it just matches the vibe of my bag

'cause I've got so many pink things.

Like this is my makeup bag. I love Hello Kitty.

Okay, I'm just gonna put some in my hand.

I like to give it a little body.

I squinch up the end so it's like kind of wavy.

The final thing is. And it was above you.

Ah. Okay, done.

I'm finally ready. Thank you so much.
