If I’m doing a shoot or performing, I particularly like a water-based makeup remover called Bioderma. When you’re on a shoot and going through multiple looks, your eyes can get pretty sore with the makeup changes. This one is really gentle.

If I have time — I don’t do it very often — I’m really into the Rodial Dragon’s Blood eye masks. I’ve been obsessed with Rodial for a few years now, and they also have this hangover mask that is quite realistic, I think. People can have a drink or two and then in the morning use this.

My makeup fascination comes from watching my mom do it when I was growing up. I tend to keep a pretty natural look, and then I dramatize it for the stage. So with MAC, they wanted to do a very specific collaboration in that the collection is basically the colors I wear. I like the idea of a compact because it fits my lifestyle. You put it on in the morning, then you take it with you. I’ve been using the Halcyon Days one.

I fill in my brows with a Sisley brow pencil — the line has really beautiful colors that are long lasting. If I’m not using my MAC lipsticks or glosses, I love Charlotte Tilbury lip color in Bitch Perfect, which is a pink-nude and stays on really well. I’m blond and not dark, so I tend to shy from a red lip.
