Selena is much wiser now in both career and personal life
Now, I don't know if you know, obviously, the founder of Rare Beauty is none other than Selena Gomez.
Her and her beautiful life partner, Benny Blanco, fun fact, he tweezed his uni-brow this weekend.
Selena is thrilled to be with you guys.
I'm so happy that you came. So, did you tweeze them?
No, my makeup artist did.
Your eyebrows look good.
Really? Okay, so here's what's happening with my eyebrows.
Tell me.
You can have some. I have so much.
I'll grow a little patch for you, cut it off, and we'll just...
Will you make me like an eyebrow toupee?
Of course.
And we could just glue it on.
Oh, I'm dead serious.
Do you guys have any animals?
Four.
Wait, what? You do?
Yeah, oh wow, your dog's breath smells so bad.
By the way, Benny, thank you.
Oh my god.
You're the first person that said it because everyone comes here.
Oh my god, that's crazy.
No, I know, Benny, you're so honest, thank you.
It's like poo.
It's like fish died.
Yeah, like fish and poo poo.
Oh my god, that's crazy.
We still love you.
Benny, you're the first person.
I feel like there's always like a...
That's insane.
Okay.
Oh my god.
No, we love it, it's good, guys.
No, you have an honest man.
Oh, I'm aware.
When I look at you guys,
it seems like you're devoid of some of those pitfalls
that you made good choices with each other,
that you pick kindness.
Talent is sexy.
There's so much sexy in your relationship
when it comes to talent, I can't even see straight.
Sorry, Benny.
Is that a draw, may I ask?
A thousand percent.
Yeah, is it?
No, I think...
Yes, but I've always wanted someone
or a partner that was driven
in some aspect of their life,
didn't have to be what I was doing.
I think I should avoid that.
But it was really, I don't know,
it was different.
I think everything he does is incredible.
To me, personally, this album we just released...
Which I love so much.
Thank you.
But I love the album so much
and I love the interval where you talk about
the standards of social media
and you do it in such a delicate, cute way.
And I loved the visuals you put with it with Polaroids.
Like the old world matters
and I felt like that coming through your album
in many different ways, as well as empowerment.
You're so much about empowerment
and you've worked so hard on yourself.
Listen, you're so nice
and you guys are so nice.
It's freaking me out.
In the best way.
You have such a good show
and people around you.
Really?
That's all I've wanted to create.
And I've watched you be such an amazing human being
and carry yourself through the world.
And we've been and seen each other
in and around places.
But I'm shy.
I'm very.
Which is so weird.
Because you put it out there
and you perform and you're amazing.
No, she's literally
the most famous person in the world
that doesn't want to be seen.
Like when we're at a party or something
she wants to fade away into the room.
She's one of the shyest people.
Do you want to know when I am the most confident?
Yes.
It's when I'm with my fans.
I feel like I can be myself
and I am doing it well.
Because you've been a transparent person.
You know, I've gone back and forth on this.
I just know when they're around
I want to be the best that I can be.
And I just, I don't know.
I feel that way.
But yeah, I'm the first to show up at parties.
I'm the first to leave.
What do you even have to do
to tell yourself to go to a party?
Because I feel like I have to psych myself out.
I'm so glad I got out of the house
and I did this and now I'm ready to go home.
The thing is, when you're at a party
it is so weird because you see a person
and they're like, oh my god, we should hang out.
And you're like, yeah, totally.
And then the next time you see them
we'll be at a party six months from then
where you're like, we should so hang out.
It's totally...
Nobody's doing the hangout.
There is no hangout.
We need new verbiage for that.
Life is crazy.
It's so fun to see you when I see you.
Yeah.
We should just say, hey, we're not going to hang out.
I love you, bye.
Is it true that you would,
when MySpace was around,
would call people to say,
hey, or you pretended to be someone...
Okay, I used to cold call record labels
and pretend I was Jay-Z's lawyer
and I'd be like, hey, we really need to speak
to Craig Callum and blah, blah.
And then the assistant would punch me through
and when I got on the phone
I'd be like, actually, this isn't him.
I just really want to play you my music
and they'd hang up.
But I eventually became
such good friends with the assistants
and the people working for them and still
to this day, my manager...
Holy s**t.
Sorry. That's so old.
That could be the worst picture of me ever.
By the way, how about your hair
in that picture?
It's insane. I used to jelly.
Jesus, get this thing away.
Is this... Wait.
Oh my God, it's even bigger?
Don't look at it.
Don't look.
The person who was calling people, though?
Were you about that age?
I'll answer if you take it away.
Take it right away.
Yes, I was about that age.
Wait, Selena, here's your middle school picture.
Oh dear. Oh no.
Wait.
Okay.
Where was my awe?
By the way, it's true.
Don't worry. I awe that too.
Wow.
She's so pretty.
I keep looking at her every day when we wake up.
I tell her how beautiful she is.
You're beautiful too.
You're so beautiful.
I loved your viral video.
I came out here with no makeup.
I love your beauty line so much.
Thank you.
But I still am inundated with the positivity
of your makeup line.
And the power of it.
It's hard.
At least for me and women,
it's hard to not want to look
like a certain person
or you look up to them.
And it's hard.
You get into that gray area.
And I just wanted the brand to be
whatever it felt like.
This is what I want you to do.
It's easy.
A lot of pigmentation.
I just want you to play and have fun.
Well, speaking of, will you guys play
and do my makeup?
Let's do contour and blush.
Okay.
Which side do you want?
How about one side of my face
and the other side of my face?
Benny, you get this side.
Selena, you get this side.
I can't believe I'm getting to do this, by the way.
This is the hardest part.
What's this thing?
Contour.
Okay.
I know where that goes.
You do?
I was starting with the blush.
We're going to contour you.
Here's the thing I learned about contour
that took the fear out of it for me.
It's a magic three.
So you want to do the three there
and like that.
So here.
Not on the nose.
Actually, you could do the sides of the nose.
One influencer was like,
I need to contour your nose.
And I was like,
I have a family thing with my nose.
We're known for our profile.
I'm okay.
And I felt like a little personal.
I was like, no, no.
She contoured my nose.
I was like, this is the best it's ever looked.
You can contour here and here.
You don't have to tell me.
You want to do highlighter down the brow.
That's not this.
So you want to do a little tiny magic three.
Don't tell me what to do.
Okay.
Although I'm studying the color
because you have actually a very good color.
A perfect color.
I picked that color for myself.
Do you want to try this one?
Benny, I heard you collect stuffed animals.
Just stay still.
So we're going to go like this.
Maybe we'll go like this.
Should we put a little there?
No.
Is that good?
I've always been a little nervous
of a cleft chin.
I don't know why.
We're big on the cleft chin.
Can I touch your face?
Are you supposed to do it with your face?
Should I dip it in water?
What?
Things are happening.
Where did the title for your album come from?
It was actually Benny's idea.
I'm the one who said I love you first.
You are?
Yes, I did.
That moment.
I know.
It was very sweet.
It wasn't very sweet.
She ruined it for me.
He wanted to say it first.
First time what happened was
she was just coming out of
surgery on her hand.
She fell when we first started dating.
She said I love you.
I don't remember.
I was on medicine.
That's where your subconscious lives.
When you have a little something
it all comes out.
I said what?
I said I love you.
I put her back to bed.
He didn't say it to me.
One time we were in New York.
Accidentally.
I had it all planned out.
We're sitting there.
She said it before me.
When you feel compelled to say I love you
it might be one of the most
incredible moments of life.
It's like
you become a human bottle rocket.
You have to take
flight.
It's like somebody lit
the...
I don't know.
I think I'm doing a great job.
Maybe my theories
are a little unorthodox.
When you guys are like...
You talked about how
you can say anything you want here.
Why doesn't it do the thing?
Do I need more?
Do I do this instead?
That's a little highlighter.
Remember think high bones.
All the highest points
is where
the highlight would be.
Cheekbone, nose bone,
brow bone is good.
I don't know why you think so funny.
You meet somebody and you're like
oh my god I love what you do
and it does happen to be in my field
which made me nervous
but I'm open to it because
I feel safe with you.
Then where does collaboration
start?
Where does the seed to grow that garden?
It was actually...
I think mine's pretty good.
I think I'm going to like yours too.
I was in a place where I felt very
frustrated and stuck in my music
and
I don't know.
I just was telling him I'm having a hard time.
He thought it would
be a cool idea to just try it out
and see what would happen.
I think he just said that to me
and I said I'd love to try that.
I think he's very talented.
He's done a lot of my music.
You have made so many hit songs.
You have worked with the best artists
in the world.
You are in your own right.
You have a whole world that you came to this
relationship with.
We've known each other for so long.
That's the first picture we ever took together.
As a couple.
Then we kissed right after that for the first time.
Not that one.
We kissed many times before that.
This was first kiss ever.
You have it documented?
Yeah.
We were playing the game
We're Not Really Strangers
and it said take a picture with the person
you're with right now.
We had been talking for a few weeks.
It said take a picture
of the person
you're next to.
I looked at her
and said,
I think she likes me.
Our first date
I didn't even know it was a date.
Did you think it was a date?
I did.
This is driving me crazy.
What did you do?
First of all,
why are you touching perfection?
It's kind of crazy.
You're going to be a little
What about this?
Why are there pickles right there?
I heard
that you like
pickles with grape powder.
Wait, so you just go like this
and you dip it?
I love pickles, by the way.
Love pickles.
How did you come up with this combo?
Oh my god.
When you dip it in this thing?
Oh my god.
It wasn't my idea.
I go to this snow cone place
where I grew up
and I tried it.
Pickles and grape powder.
Wow, this is so good.
It is really good.
It's good when you dip it in the stuff.
Sorry, I never showed you this before.
It smells good.
It does.
It's a little sweet.
It's not like Douglas's breath.
No.
That smells like actual death.
Yours smells like pickles and flour.
You don't understand.
There have been so many people that have came and sat here
and endured Douglas's breath
and nobody but Benny has been honest about it.
I'm so relieved.
It's like I know who I'm dealing with.
I'm always apologizing to people.
I'm like, I'm so sorry about his breath.
No, he's so sweet.
He's a sweetie pie.
He loves you, by the way.
By the way, Benny, how is cooking going?
Your cookbook is one of my favorite cookbooks.
I like the show of embarrassment.
We're both the two worst people at getting compliments
and all you do is compliment on the show.
First of all, I'm going to say
you're the best.
You're incredible.
Everything you do is perfect.
You're my hero.
You were the person that was the most nervous to me.
I told you the first time we came on
I was so nervous to meet you because I grew up
watching you so much.
You were the biggest crush.
You're the best.
Of course.
Now you feel terrible.
I came here to do this
but I also came here
because I want
one of your little air fryers.
Will you give me one?
Benny, I would be so honored
to give you an air fryer.
The question is what color would you like?
Lavender? Pink? Baby pink?
Cornflower blue? Sage green?
White, black, or oyster gray?
I know which one you need.
The brand new hydrangea color.
It's like this pale, pale blue.
Nope, unfortunately that's not what I want.
Which one do you want?
I'd like the baby pink. Or lavender.
I'm trying to picture it in our kitchen.
Oh yeah, I have to ask you.
What do you want?
That's the way it works.
Do you like design?
Not as much as I do.
I will tell you something so important
that I was talking about with someone today.
Men out there,
which camera do I speak to?
By the way, I want to hear this. Go.
Sometimes,
a lot of men are always trying to fix things.
It's not about fixing all the time.
You're always being like,
how can I fix this problem?
Sometimes it's just about listening
and just waiting.
Because sometimes
the woman doesn't want it to be fixed.
Sometimes I know when she comes in
I know she just wants to unload it.
She doesn't want to fix it yet.
It works so well.
At one PSA.
I do think that you guys
have a relationship that is not goals
for aspirational
reasons of
oh, I just like them.
I think that you guys have goals
because you seem really happy.
And I'm curious
as to if that's your advice
to men, what would your advice
to women be
for choosing someone
who is a good person?
My advice would be
to simply
understand
what you deserve
but also understand that
they don't
you don't need to complete someone.
You want to be fully
complete in yourself.
If I would have dated him ten years ago
it would not work.
I had to do a lot of
re-teaching myself
behavioral patterns and all this stuff
and then he came in
and I just
I completely fell
head over heels because of the way
he speaks, the way he carries himself
he's funny.
I was such a love junkie in my life.
I had so much fun.
Relationships, dating, escapades
the highs and lows, the pendulum, agony
and ecstasy. I loved it.
The more drama the better.
Something switches
and you go on a journey
that is about
the real
life stuff.
Adventures happen
they're great, I want them endlessly
forever. But I want
to live in peace, I want to think
about my central nervous system
I want to think about
behavior
but then I don't have
the sexy. I'm very single.
What do you mean you don't have the sexy?
You're not sexy or you're not having sex?
I don't
The sexy is
devoid in my life.
I'm not seeing anyone
I have two daughters, I'm in
a very different mental state.
We gotta hook you up with someone.
Wait, I have a lot of friends.
You want to get hooked up?
You don't want to get hooked up?
Do you want the sexy?
I want
I don't know exactly what I want.
You want them to want the sexy?
You want to know that the sexy is there but you're not sure
if you want the sexy.
Recently I feel like I got back in touch
I feel libidinous
all of a sudden and listening to your album
certainly
Let's get you the sexy.
Your album is so sexy.
Let's get you the sexy.
No, it's really true.
Your album is incredibly hot.
Thank you for putting that out there
into the world.
Thank you for putting everything out there in the world
that you do.
Also, you've taught
a great art to people
and I commend you for this.
It's not a compliment.
For showing also that you can be
as big as all of your dreams
but you can hold a lot for yourself too.
And you've walked through
a world with a new normal
and you impressed me to no end.
No more compliments.
Insults from now on.
I know what we need to do.
What do we need to do?
Pull up the picture again, control room, please.
What picture?
Of Benny at school.
What's wrong with you?
No, don't.
Please stop.
Don't try to aw now.
Nice try, guys.
Okay, take the picture down.
I'm moving to Spain.
I have no seat anymore.
He loves you so much.
Look at how you're
sitting by the way.
You can't move.
You shouldn't move is what I'm saying.
Come sit over here.
By the way, your pants are everything.
My friend Chloe made them.
She's backstage.
The last time you came here
you were wearing something fabulous too.
I can only imagine what his closet looks like.
It's very fun.
Mine is so boring but his is...
I love going through his clothes.
I don't know.
He just has really good taste.
Yes, he does.
I can't thank you guys enough
for coming here.
I have been looking forward
to this in ways that are immeasurable.
I didn't talk about it.
Well, I did.
I told everybody on set it only murders.
By the way,
congratulations.
I loved watching you on the SAG Awards.
I feel so bad
because there were so many people
I wanted to thank but
I genuinely
never want anything
as a cast
for anything that we've done.
It doesn't matter about winning.
When they said it,
I just was like,
wait.
When I got up there I lost everything.
I don't know why Steve and Marty
don't even care about coming here anymore
because I don't know what to say.
Martin Short won that night too.
I think we were all rubbed of his speech.
I agree.
Our producer staff was like,
we were talking about your wedding
and them being there.
Would you ever have them officiate your wedding?
Oh my gosh.
I haven't even thought about that.
But Marty is due to give a speech.
I told him he must.
Steve will probably pull out his banjo
but I feel like
Marty would have an epic speech.
I feel like they're going to be really
proud papas.
Proud uncles.
I love them.
They love you too.
It's such a good thing that you all found each other
in this world.
I'm going to figure out
how to untangle this web
that I don't want to get out of.
I just want to be in and I don't want to end
this hangout session.
Can't we just stay here?
Forever.
What's over there?
It's a stain removal segment.
I stain my clothes constantly.
You want to know what gets me all hot and sexy
and bothered? Stain removal.
That is sexy.
Are you good at removing stains?
Benny, academy
award level.
Could you get red wine?
That's so weird that you would ask that.
When I first met my boyfriend, Eric
Erlinson, who was in the band
Hole, he's the
nicest guy, total sweetheart.
I was with him for two years. He's the greatest person.
When we were
first dating, I came to his apartment
in Seattle.
He got sent
a box of wine.
He brought it home from the rider
or the tour bus. It was Franzia.
It comes in a bag.
Then they cover up
the bag with a box.
Trying to make it pretty.
We unplugged it
to drink it and the whole thing went on
the floor. The bag had been
broken.
He had blue shag carpet.
I got that red
wine. Weird, right?
Red flag.
You would think it was a red flag, but then you meet him
and you're like, oh my god.
I literally sat with
those fibers all night.
Everything. You would never know it happened.
We got a stain in our house
if you could get it.
Do you think you could come over and just
teach us? You have no idea.
I've got my little carrying case
of my tricks.
We have a big thing we have to do.
We have to get you a partner.
We have to invite you over so you can remove stains.
What else do we have to do?
How about we never say that we'll make plans
that we don't have to do.
We'll never stress each other out about a text.
I'm for real.
We would like you over immediately.
That would be no brainer.
That's one of my favorite things to do
is post.
It's just fun. He's better at it.
To be perfectly honest,
I would happily accept
an invitation to your guys' place.
I would love to come over.
I love you guys.
I'm free for you guys.
Congratulations on your
hot, sexy, steamy,
beautiful, I'm so glad
you guys did this together collaboration
of I said
I love you first, now knowing who did.
Turning into a human
This isn't out yet,
so everyone's going to get one.
Thank you for
also every guest you have.
Just thank you for
giving us a space
that we feel
safe but also equally
you just have
so much love to give and I think
the world needs that.
I just want to thank you for having me on the show
and of course with them.
Said by a woman who works
on her site in such a beautiful
way. Thank you so much for
staying.
You deserve
everything.
You deserve everything.
So do you.
