Young Hollywood

Hey guys, Molly Argu here for Young Hollywood at Beauty Con. And now I am joined by Kelly Berglund. Thank you so much for being with us. Did you hear that applause that just randomly happened in the background?

Kelli Berglund

My period all the way from there.

Young Hollywood

Well, and you're going to be on a panel later today, right? Can you tell us a bit about what you're talking about?

Kelli Berglund

Yeah, that'll be pretty fun. The panel is called how to be a bad bae. So it's talking about like confidence and how to just

Young Hollywood

A bad bae?

Kelli Berglund

Bad bae. Yeah, like B A E like a bae. Um but yeah, it just talks about confidence and how to exhibit that and spread it to others and just be confident and cool with yourself.

Young Hollywood

Do you have any like little preview you can give us about what your tips are for staying confident?

Kelli Berglund

I mean, one thing I always say it's like people stick to the norm and they say like the typical things like, you don't have to wear makeup. It's beautiful like on the inside, which is fine, I agree with that. But like, I'm the kind of person where like if you want to wear a full face of makeup every single day and that makes you feel confident and cool and great about yourself, then do it. I mean, I'm totally all about like fresh face natural because it feels great. But honestly, like I think people are sometimes scared to do the things they want to do because it's not like the norm or And sometimes it feels good to be done up. Honestly, yeah. Sometimes I'm like I want to feel all take face tonight, but I think it's just about doing what you want to do like actually.

Young Hollywood

Do you have any like little tricks or hacks that you've kind of found through time of doing your own makeup?

Kelli Berglund

Yes. I'm always so jealous of the people who have like the sharp winged liner. I'm like, how do you do that? But basically what I do is I put my eyeshadow on first. Usually, I do my eyeliner with like an eyeshadow. I I don't always use like a gel. I just think sometimes it looks too harsh. But then what I do is when I'm wiping away the fallout, like with a makeup wipe to get ready to put my foundation on, like you put the makeup wipe on your finger and you literally just like swipe it away so it makes a perfect line like perfect little sharp thing every time.

Young Hollywood

That's an amazing tip. I'm going to try that.

Kelli Berglund

Yeah, it works.

Young Hollywood

Okay, the tip is for winged eyeliner, use some makeup remover to get the exact line. I love it. I'm sitting with Allie Simpson. Hey, what's up? So good to see you.

Alli Simpson

It's good to see you too. I'm happy to be here.

Young Hollywood

So we were talking about her look because she said she came to Beautycon this morning looking good, but now she looks even better.

Alli Simpson

Yeah, like I came in looking like my normal self and I've come out with blue hair. Someone attacked me with blue hairspray. I also got attacked with glitter. I love it. I'm so Beautyconified right now.

Young Hollywood

Do you have like a favorite trend right now in beauty or in fashion that you're absolutely loving?

Alli Simpson

For me, it's definitely glitter. Hence the glitter on my cheeks that was definitely, you know, me almost attacking myself. The blue hairspray wasn't. But the glitter I'm obsessed with. I think, you know, you can really experiment with it, whether you have like a simple amount on your eyelids or, you know, even like me just putting it on my cheek like a highlighter or like putting it on my lips. I've tried that too. Very cool. I'm also loving like since it's coming into summer in LA, like I love that everyone like experimenting with the different highlighters and they're really like glowy, like dewy sort of makeup. That's what I'm loving right now, like natural, glowy and fun, sort of. Very LA.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, I love it. Yeah, very nice. And you have a lot going on yourself outside of beauty and fashion and being on point with your trends. Can you tell us a little bit about your radio show?

Alli Simpson

Yeah, my radio show uh it's the Allie Simpson show on Radio Disney. It's every Friday night, which is really fun and I always have like really amazing guests coming in, whether it's like beauty gurus or some of my favorite people, like I had Gus Afoni come in recently and I almost cried. I had Beber in recently too, which was amazing and it's just a really cool platform for me to have and, you know, reach my fans and I just get to talk about things that I love like fashion and boys and advice and, you know, what I I can't complain. I love it.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. That's so cool and you're also expanding into music. Yes. A bit more. Can you tell us anything about that?

Alli Simpson

You know, in the past I've got like a couple songs on iTunes already and in the past for me, it's just been for fun, really like a side thing that I've done, but the more time I spend in the studio and the more time you know, my brother Cody has been inspiring me quite a bit and helping me write music and it's been, you know, really good for me and I've been sort of diving into it and realizing I really do love it. So I've been working with some really amazing people lately and I have music coming very soon that I'm really passionate about. So I can't wait.

Young Hollywood

So we want to play an emoji game with you.

Alli Simpson

Okay. Yeah, I like games.

Young Hollywood

What's your favorite emoji?

Alli Simpson

My favorite emoji hands down. Like I always can answer this question. Is the the smiley face that's kind of blushing. You just like the little the little cute one. It's like

Young Hollywood

Well, since we love emojis and since we're at Beautycon, we have a game where we can beautify some emojis. Will you help us with that?

Alli Simpson

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Okay. So, you have some different emojis to choose from. Whichever one you want.

Alli Simpson

There he is, my favorite one.

Young Hollywood

You have free reign, you're the makeup artist to the emoji.

Alli Simpson

Okay. Awesome.

Young Hollywood

Switching to something a little more fun. Will you play a game with us?

Kelli Berglund

Sure.

Young Hollywood

Yay. Okay, so, pick one of the cards. Either one. It doesn't matter which one. She's not looking. Beauty Hacks, real or not? Okay. So we're going to quiz you on your beauty trivia. Are you ready?

Kelli Berglund

Oh my God. Okay.

Young Hollywood

It's kind of like have you ever played Two Truths and a Lie?

Kelli Berglund

Yes.

Young Hollywood

Okay, so it's basically like two truths and a lie but it's Beautycon version.

Kelli Berglund

Oh, this is the best game. I'm ready. Here we go.

Young Hollywood

I'm going to read three different things and then at the end you have to guess which one's the lie. Okay. Here we go. The Kool-Aid lip stain trick works like this. You rub some Vaseline on your lips, then you put a little water on your lips, then you rub Kool-Aid powder on your lips, then you have a beautifully stained lip.

Kelli Berglund

All right. Going to get some really nice like mascara in here. Maybe some eyeliner. Oh, a little wing. Oh, I love that. Wait, that looks so good. Smile.

Young Hollywood

I think you need uh I like how it's a heat. So I'm trying to get some pink lipstick in here on him. What do you like better? Lipstick or eyeliner?

Kelli Berglund

Lipstick for sure. I look terrible in winged eyeliner. Really? I don't know why. If I do eyeliner, I go for like a glitter eyeliner or a silver or like colors, you know? But the black, I don't know why. It doesn't really suit me. It looks so good on everyone else. I'm like why can't I look like that? But, you know, we all have our differences.

Young Hollywood

Number two. You can use orange lipstick under your eye as concealer. Okay. And number three, you mix regular nail polish with Windex in order for the nail polish to last longer. Okay. So, what about mascara or eyebrow filler?

Kelli Berglund

Eyebrow filler. Because I I like the natural look without mascara sometimes if you just fill in your your eyebrows and, you know, so your base is complete, but you go for like the natural look. I love that. We'll do a blush, maybe. Oh, he's already got blush, but maybe a little more. Oh, it's so cute. Wait, I'm so there it is. Look. He's so cute. I think the second one's real. Cuz I've seen tutorials where they use like red or orange to cancel out like dark circles under the eye before you put foundation on. So I'm going to say that one's real. I've never heard of the Windex thing in my entire life. The Kool-Aid thing, I've seen people use Kool-Aid, but I mean, usually you like mix all of it first, right? And then hopefully you're not drinking Vaseline, but I'm going to say maybe the Windex one.

Young Hollywood

Ding ding ding. You were right. Okay. Wow. You're great at this. I was going to say what? Like I've never heard of this. You didn't think? So now you know. There you go. Awesome. Thank you so much for hanging out with us.

Kelli Berglund

Thank you.
