What was one of your earliest beauty memories? 

I remember being mad at my mom for not putting enough makeup on me when I was Princess Jasmine for Halloween. I also

remember being mad at my mom [laughs] for not putting any makeup on me when I was Megara [from Hercules] for Halloween. My cousins were ghosts that year, and they had dead face makeup, and I just immediately saw that as makeup. I said to my mom, “Do my makeup like that,” and she was like, “They’re dead,” and I was like, “Well, I’ll be dead Megara.” So I was dead Megara when I was 9 years old because it meant that I got to wear more makeup.

So you’ve always been into makeup. What are some of your go-to makeup products right now?

I really love Ilia. The Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara ($28) is really amazing. I also love Merit. I’m not a makeup artist, and even though I like makeup, I am not good at doing it. Merit makes it easy—they make these complexion sticks, where it’s like brush, brush, blend and then you go!

How about skincare?

I love Neutrogena’s Makeup Remover Face Wipes ($5). I've always used them. But I’m also in the middle of trying different things, like a new system. 

Okay, so you’re in a transition phase.

Right, but I also love Nurse Jamie’s beauty tool—the UpLift Facial Massaging Beauty Roller ($69). That’s amazing, and I use a gua sha tool as well.
