Has anything about your approach to beauty changed over the past 18 months, and are there any particular beauty looks that you’re looking forward to trying now that we’re emerging from lockdown?
I spent a lot of time playing with bold eye looks and experimenting with colour while at home in lockdown. Spending more time at home really just made me realise how much I love expressing myself and my creativity through makeup and beauty.
We have to talk about Stranger Things because it truly is a cultural phenomenon. We really saw some fun fashion and makeup moments from Eleven in the last season. Have you taken any beauty or wardrobe inspiration from the show into your real life?
I’m sure I have subconsciously over the last few years! I loved how fun and colourful Eleven’s wardrobe was last season.
You must spend a fair amount of time on set with makeup artists and hairstylists. Are there any insider beauty secrets that you’ve picked up from the experts?
Makeup and skincare are so interlinked. If your skin is dehydrated, then your makeup will not look as good as it would if you took the time to properly cleanse and moisturise it.
Are there any other women whose beauty looks particularly inspire you, and where do you look for personal beauty and fashion inspiration?
Zendaya is someone I admire across fashion and beauty. She’s daring and experimental in a really exciting way.
Wellness and beauty are so intertwined. Do you have any wellness practices or supplements that help to give you a boost both mentally and physically?
I really value meditation and yoga. I use it as a time to center myself and slow down my thoughts. Like I said at the beginning of this interview, I really believe that beauty is what’s on the inside and taking care of your mind is just as important—really, more important—than taking care of your skin.
Finally, what’s your Unfiltered beauty philosophy in seven words or fewer?
Be kind, and don’t forget to hydrate!
