If you're a serious Olivia Rodrigo fan, I'm sure you now own at least one of the products from her killer collaboration with Glossier. It was the best gift the pop star could give to us beauty-obsessed peasant folk and I have to admit I was first to snag not one, but a handful of items. What I also wasn't expecting, though, was the second gift Rodrigo doled out.
She gave us a sneak peek inside her everyday makeup routine in a GRWM video on Glossier's YouTube channel, and, of course, being the beauty editor that I am, I immediately watched and took notes. She let us in on all the products she uses daily including her holy-grail foundation, concealer, bronzer, and more. Rodrigo keeps her routine refreshing simple, but still cute. I decided to put each of her favorite items to the test. After trying her entire routine, I sorted each product into the "keep" or "skip" category. Keep scrolling for which ones I'll continue to use.
The Routine
Keep or skip: Keep
I'd heard really great things about this foundation before trying it for this story and was even more intrigued once I found out it's Rodrigo's go-to. First, I loved the way it applied and blended. The formula is really creamy and it has a lot of slip to it. I used a brush to apply it and it just glided all over my face with so much ease. I was also pretty impressed with the coverage. I didn't use concealer on any spots this time to see how much I liked the coverage without it and this foundation definitely delivered.

I already had Rare Beauty's concealer handy and ready to be used for this story. Rodrigo uses this in a bit of a lighter shade, but I'm sure she loves the formula as much as I do since it's a daily staple for her. I'm also a fan of Rare Beauty's foundation. Both the foundation and concealer are really smooth and provide a really nice amount of coverage without being heavy or cakey. I used this on my under-eye area to cover up my dark circles. It's always so airy and never actually feels like I'm wearing concealer which is exactly what I look for in any formula. Obviously, I'll continue to use this one.
Keep or skip: Keep
Rodrigo uses Glossier's Solar Paint in the shade Ray, and I have to say I'm totally obsessed. The above photo doesn't really do it justice, but it gives your skin such a natural, sun-kissed glow. Rodrigo keeps her everyday routine pretty simple, which I appreciate. She just dabs a bit of this onto her cheekbones and nose. It gives you what she calls a "perfectly tanned" look, and I totally agree. It also has a subtle shimmer to it that really has a chance to shine once you step outside.
Keep or skip: Keep
I was really on the fence about this little eye shadow trio. The base shade wasn't impressive to me and it barely showed up on my lids, but I decided I'll keep using it for the shimmers. Rodrigo likes to swipe on a bit of the base shade onto her lids using her fingers and then follows with the shimmer shade on the right side of the mini palette. I did the same and really liked the finish of the metallic, sparkly hue, but I'm not sure it's something I'd wear every day. Purple eye shadow isn't usually my thing—it felt a bit harsh for my personal taste. I'll definitely give this another go when I have an event to go to.
Keep or skip: Keep
I was excited to learn that Rodrigo shares my love for Brow Wiz. It's one of my all-time favorite brow pencils besides the Lawless Shape Up Soft Fill Eyebrow Pencil ($22). I don't think I need to say much here other than it's one of the best. I love how easy the pencil is to work with and it's really forgiving. I like to start slow and build out my brow using small strokes. It creates the perfect natural finish every time.
Keep or skip: Skip
This mascara was just okay. The formula isn't the worst I've ever used, but I also don't think it did a ton for my lashes. I'll probably skip this one and use another formula in the future.
Keep or skip: Skip
Rodrigo uses the clear Boy Brow gel, so I gave this one a spin. I also have to preface this by mentioning that I'm not usually huge on brow gels or waxes. The only one I really use is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze occasionally. I tried this one out and it was nice, but I guess I just don't really prefer the look of a huge fluffy brow on myself. It did keep them in place, but I don't really see myself using it much in the future.
Keep or skip: Keep
Rodrigo coined the name of this shade herself because—you guessed it—her sun sign is Pisces. It looks like this shade is now sold out, but you can still get it in a variety of other shades. I really liked the rich berry tone of it and the texture feels more like a chapstick than a lipstick. I do love it for an event or night out, but I don't think I'd wear this as part of my everyday makeup routine. This with the purple eye shadow just felt a bit harsh on my particular features.
