“I prefer to name Submarine an album of solitude, exploration, and alter. Josh [Conway], The Marías’ producer and drummer, and I had been in a relationship for seven years. We ended the romantic a part of our relationship after our first album, and that threw us into a special state of consciousness the place we might rediscover who we had been in a brand new dynamic. ‘No One Seen,’ one in every of my favourite songs from the album, completely encapsulates what I used to be feeling on the time. As for our tour, we needed to create an otherworldly expertise for our followers for a few hours, and I feel we did that.
In LA, my model of ‘going out’ is simply going to dinner, after which coming dwelling and watching The Nice British Bake Off. [Laughs] I like Izakaya Osen and Kenbey in Silver Lake. They’re each sushi spots and actually scrumptious. I ate at Amour, a French spot in West Hollywood, lately. It’s fairly dear, however I might eat there once more as soon as in a blue moon. Oh, Lolo is a tried-and-true staple. If I need a basic branzino and a salad, I’ll go there. However all through our tour, ‘going out’ means internet hosting our ‘Freak Marine After Events.’ Josh DJs, and so they’re a lot enjoyable.
SKINCARE
Once I’m on stage, my look wants to have the ability to stand up to everything of the present, together with an element the place I submerge myself in a tub stuffed with water. That stated, I don’t do something loopy to prep for make-up. I cleanse with Cerave to get no matter dust and make-up are already on my face. I like that it doesn’t foam as a result of foam cleansers are inclined to dry my pores and skin out. I’ve additionally used toners up to now which have damaged me out, and to this point, Barbara Sturm’s hasn’t. It’s fairly dear, however I do suppose it’s price it. Plus, you may actually stretch it out to make it final.
My dermatologist, Dr. Heather Roberts, advisable her vitamin C. I pat it on, look ahead to it to dry, after which throw on squalane oil from The Atypical, which she additionally advisable years in the past after I had loopy dermatitis. I like that the vitamin C doesn’t have a scent, and I’ve actually seen a distinction since I began utilizing it. My pores and skin is each brighter and extra even in texture.
In relation to hydration, I like SkinCeuticals’ Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 moisturizer. It leaves my pores and skin feeling plump and dewy. I finished utilizing it after I pared down my routine after I was coping with dermatitis, and I might actually see the distinction in hydration. Once I began utilizing it once more, I used to be like, ‘OK. That is good. For my eyes, I like Biossance’s squalane eye cream as a result of it’s actually mild however moisturizes simply sufficient. I’ve tried a bunch of eye lotions and it’s my favourite. I swear by it.
MAKEUP
Leticia Llesmin, my make-up artist, travels with me. We’ve been working collectively for 3 years now, and he or she actually understands that I like a pure, virtually no-makeup look. After all, we do outline every part a bit extra since I’m on stage beneath vivid lights. We begin off with Chanel’s Vitalumière Aqua. It’s tremendous mild and silky and covers simply sufficient to even out my pores and skin. I’ll by no means use anything, I feel. It simply offers me this actually nice dewy end.
I like Make Up For Ever’s eye pencil—it gained’t budge all the night time. I additionally love the way it goes on easily and doesn’t drag. For eyeshadow, we’ve been utilizing Chanel’s Parure Venitienne quad. We use a number of browns with slightly little bit of coral, however we’ve additionally experimented with some blues and glitters and that’s all the time enjoyable.
Chanel’s waterproof mascara is sweet all-around with quantity and size—and it doesn’t clump and it’s not too dramatic—so I exploit it for reveals but in addition in my each day life. It lasts by way of my water second, but it surely’s not too tough to get off on the finish of the night time. And I’ve been utilizing Glossier’s Boy Forehead for a very long time. It’s actually versatile. If I need to have a full eyebrow second, I can accomplish that, and if I need to go tremendous pure, I can accomplish that, too. I’ve used different ones and I’ve thought, ‘No, this doesn’t hit as arduous.’
I like to overline my lips slightly bit with Make Up For Ever’s lip liner in 3C—I exploit it each day. The colour blends out rather well with my Chanel liquid lipstick in Comfortable Rose, which is just about the identical shade as my lips, simply enhanced slightly bit. It goes on like a gloss however then it dries matte and stays on all the night time. I haven’t used one other lip product fairly prefer it.
HAIR
On tour, Leticia will do these ‘90s twisties in my hair to provide me a type of grunge moist look. We use R+CO’s pomade and the look lasts all the night time. It was necessary to me that the product be alcohol-free and never horrible for my hair as a result of I’d be utilizing it night time after night time. And contemplating the quantity of product we’ve used all through the tour, my hair’s in fairly good condition. I’ve to clean it each night time in fact. Davines’ Love shampoo and conditioner are so light and scent so good. I put some Davines hair oil on my ends after I get out of the bathe, too. I blow dry it after but it surely takes me all of 10 minutes as a result of I obtained a mild keratin therapy at Hairroin earlier than the tour. That’s been a life-changer.
NAILS + FRAGRANCE
I like darkish nails, however I don’t need a stark black shade. As an alternative, I all the time paint them with the identical shade of darkish purple from OPI—Lincoln Park After Darkish. After which I put on Maison Louis Marie’s No.04 Bois de Balincourt fragrance oil. I’m not one of the best at describing it, but it surely’s woody and spicy. I truly watched a TikTok that stated Dangerous Bunny wears it, too. In my condo, I’ve been burning Glossier’s Orange Blossom Neroli candle. It smells so good, and I like the vessel.”
