“I wish 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 unique state of consciousness the place we may rediscover who we had been in a brand new dynamic. ‘No One Seen,’ certainly one of my favourite songs from the album, completely encapsulates what I used to be feeling on the time. As for our tour, we wished to create an otherworldly expertise for our followers for a few hours, and I believe 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 really 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 expensive, however I might eat there once more as soon as in a blue moon. Oh, Lolo is a tried-and-true staple. If I desire a traditional 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
After I’m on stage, my look wants to have the ability to stand up to the whole lot of the present, together with a component the place I submerge myself in a bath filled with water. That stated, I don’t do something loopy to prep for make-up. I cleanse with Cerave to get no matter filth and make-up are already on my face. I really like that it doesn’t foam as a result of foam cleansers are likely to dry my pores and skin out. I’ve additionally used toners previously which have damaged me out, and to date, Barbara Sturm’s hasn’t. It’s fairly expensive, however I do assume it’s price it. Plus, you possibly can actually stretch it out to make it final.
My dermatologist, Dr. Heather Roberts, really useful her vitamin C. I pat it on, look forward to it to dry, after which throw on squalane oil from The Strange, which she additionally really useful years in the past after I had loopy dermatitis. I really like that the vitamin C doesn’t have a odor, and I’ve actually observed a distinction since I began utilizing it. My pores and skin is each brighter and extra even in texture.
On the subject of 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 may actually see the distinction in hydration. After 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, nearly no-makeup look. In fact, we do outline all the pieces a bit extra since I’m on stage underneath 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 believe. It simply offers me this actually nice dewy end.
I really like Make Up For Ever’s eye pencil—it received’t budge your entire evening. 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 plenty of browns with just a little 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 take advantage of it for exhibits but additionally in my every day life. It lasts by my water second, nevertheless it’s not too troublesome to get off on the finish of the evening. And I’ve been utilizing Glossier’s Boy Forehead for a very long time. It’s actually versatile. If I wish to have a full eyebrow second, I can accomplish that, and if I wish to go tremendous pure, I can accomplish that, too. I’ve used different ones and I’ve thought, ‘No, this doesn’t hit as laborious.’
I like to overline my lips just a little bit with Make Up For Ever’s lip liner in 3C—I take advantage of it every day. The colour blends out very well with my Chanel liquid lipstick in Mushy Rose, which is just about the identical shade as my lips, simply enhanced just a little bit. It goes on like a gloss however then it dries matte and stays on your entire evening. I haven’t used one other lip product fairly prefer it.
HAIR
On tour, Leticia will do these ‘90s twisties in my hair to offer me a type of grunge moist look. We use R+CO’s pomade and the look lasts your entire evening. It was vital to me that the product be alcohol-free and never horrible for my hair as a result of I’d be utilizing it evening after evening. And contemplating the quantity of product we’ve used all through the tour, my hair’s in fairly fine condition. I’ve to clean it each evening after all. Davines’ Love shampoo and conditioner are so mild and odor so good. I put some Davines hair oil on my ends after I get out of the bathe, too. I blow dry it after nevertheless it 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 really like darkish nails, however I don’t desire a stark black shade. As a substitute, 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 the most effective at describing it, nevertheless it’s woody and spicy. I really watched a TikTok that stated Unhealthy Bunny wears it, too. In my residence, I’ve been burning Glossier’s Orange Blossom Neroli candle. It smells so good, and I really like the vessel.”
