Emma Chamberlain’s latest Vogue beauty video isn’t just another influencer routine. It’s raw, personal, and full of those little things that make you go, “Yep, that’s totally me too.” What stood out this time? Her refreshing take on both skincare and makeup — not polished perfection, but something that feels a lot more real.
Skincare – Simple, Honest, and Hydrating
Emma starts her evening routine with one big rule: moisturize. It’s not groundbreaking, but the way she talks about it makes it stick. She’s all about giving her skin what it needs — not every day, not with a million steps — just what works in the moment. And when her skin’s having an off day? She throws on a hydrating mask. No big fuss.
There’s a part in the video where she’s trying out the Dermalogica UltraCalming Cleanser — and you can tell she’s not totally convinced yet. She used to swear by a different cleanser but had to switch things up. That moment of hesitation? So relatable. It’s that weird in-between feeling we all get when trying something new.
Then, she casually drops a bit about being diagnosed with PCOS, and suddenly the conversation shifts. You realize this isn’t just about clear skin — it’s about understanding your body better. The way she explains how the diagnosis helped her make sense of her skin struggles? Quietly powerful. And the best part? She found out through a dermatologist she bumped into at a hair salon. Totally random, totally real.
Makeup – Doing It Her Own Way
Emma’s makeup isn’t about being perfect. It’s about having fun — even if it gets a little messy. In this look, she plays with red and grey eyeshadow, which somehow works even though she calls it “spooky.” And honestly, that confidence to wear bold colors just because she feels like it? Super inspiring.
She uses Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grip Eye Primer, layers her shadows, and blends with a sponge that she spritzes with setting spray (a clever little hack if you’re not already doing that). Her go-to foundation is Armani’s Luminous Silk, which she pairs with her favorite concealer. Nothing over-the-top, just what makes her feel good.
She skips blush — completely. Instead, she’s into bronzer and contour, and when she talks about not liking blush because it’s “too sweet,” you can’t help but laugh. It’s a small thing, but it tells you everything you need to know: Emma isn’t trying to fit into the usual beauty mold. She’s making her own version of what pretty looks like.
Beyond Beauty – Coming Back to Herself
What’s cool about this video is that it’s not just about products. Emma opens up about how her views on beauty — and herself — have changed. A few years ago, she admits, she was chasing that classic “pretty” look. Now? She’s way more into feeling like herself, even if it means rocking a pixie cut or unexpected eyeshadow shades.
She also touches on returning to YouTube, rediscovering her love for editing, and her upcoming role in Forbidden Fruit. What you really take away is her mindset — she’s not doing things just for views or validation anymore. She’s doing what feels fun. What feels right. And there’s something really comforting about that.
So, What’s the Takeaway?
This isn’t your average skincare tutorial. It’s part beauty, part journal entry — the kind of video you watch and then think about later when you’re getting ready in front of the mirror. Emma reminds us that it’s okay to change. It’s okay to try, mess up, figure it out, and try again.
