If you had to leave the house in five minutes, what are a few staple beauty products you’d apply?
I am definitely putting on some lip gloss. I love my Icy Lips
On days when you’re not working or you’re just staying in, what does your skin routine look like both morning and night?
Honestly, it changes all the time. An esthetician once told me to mix and match and not to exclusively just use one entire line. That’s stuck with me, and it actually really works for my skin. In the morning, I’ll use something light like Glow Recipe’s Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser ($34) or Tatcha’s The Rice Wash Skin-Softening Cleanser ($35). After I’m done with that, I apply Ole Henriksen’s Balancing Force Oil Control Toner ($29). I’m really oily, so I try to prevent the oil from popping up because that makes me break out. And then after that, I might use… Oh! This stuff is really good. Every time I put this on, people think I just had a facial. So after I tone, I use the Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Luxury Face Oil ($72) with Glow Recipe’s Banana Soufflé Moisture Cream ($39) layered on top. I’m a glow girl!
At night, I love Farmacy’s Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm ($34). It just slides all my makeup off. Once my face is all clean, I’ll use Tatcha’s The Deep Cleanse Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser ($38). But if I want something really rough to just completely knock off whatever is happening on my face, I’ll use Kiehl’s Epidermal Re-Texturizing Micro-Dermabrasion ($41). I really like to use that because like I said, I’m oily, so by the end of the day my makeup will sometimes just start to feel really nasty on my face. This really helps get all of that off.
We have to touch on music. What do you put on when you’re getting ready and what’s on tap when you’re winding down for the evening?
When I’m getting ready, I’m definitely listening to Pretty Bitch Music, and when I’m winding down, I love me some Alicia Keys, some Jhené Aiko, some H.E.R., some Brent Faiyaz. Just something that’s really soothing.
