Perhaps the most refreshing thing about Carrie Underwood's makeup routine is that she enjoys it. She even revealed to Elle that she finds the process therapeutic, especially when she's doing her stage makeup. "Unless we have other filming to do earlier in the day, I always do my own stage makeup. I enjoy it. I'm honestly not the kind of person that is great sitting there and letting someone else do hair and makeup."
"I feel like it takes longer when somebody else does it, and it's calming to me to be there with all my tools. It's quiet and it's nice and I don't need 20 hands on me before I go on stage — it just makes me nervous," she added.
Plus, the best part is that her routine won't leave a dent in your wallet. She explained to the outlet that her makeup bag doesn't contain YSL or Dior staples; you can actually find most of what she uses at the drugstore. "To be honest, whatever I can grab at a Walgreens is enough for me. I love drugstore makeup. I honestly don't think there's anything in my bag that's expensive," she said.
Keep it simple, have fun and come up with looks that you love. That's what Carrie would do.
