“I wish to name Submarine an album of solitude, exploration, and alter. Josh [Conway], The Marías’ producer and drummer, and I have 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 may rediscover who we have 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 residence 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 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 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, they usually’re a lot enjoyable.

SKINCARE
After I’m on stage, my look wants to have the ability to face up to the whole lot of the present, together with an element the place I submerge myself in a bath stuffed with water. That mentioned, 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 previously which have damaged me out, and to this point, Barbara Sturm’s hasn’t. It’s fairly expensive, however I do assume 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, watch for it to dry, after which throw on squalane oil from The Odd, which she additionally advisable years in the past once 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.

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 once I pared down my routine once 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 gentle 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 she or he 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 below shiny lights. We begin off with Chanel’s Vitalumière Aqua. It’s tremendous gentle and silky and covers simply sufficient to even out my pores and skin. I’ll by no means use anything, I believe. It simply provides me this actually nice dewy end.

I like Make Up For Ever’s eye pencil—it received’t budge the whole 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 variety of browns with a bit 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 in addition in my every day life. It lasts by means of my water second, nevertheless it’s not too troublesome 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 exhausting.’

I like to overline my lips a bit bit with Make Up For Ever’s lip liner in 3C—I take advantage of it every day. The colour blends out rather well with my Chanel liquid lipstick in Delicate Rose, which is just about the identical colour as my lips, simply enhanced a bit bit. It goes on like a gloss however then it dries matte and stays on the whole 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 kind of grunge moist look. We use R+CO’s pomade and the look lasts the whole night time. 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 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 once 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 acquired a mild keratin remedy at Hairroin earlier than the tour. That’s been a life-changer.

NAILS + FRAGRANCE
I like darkish nails, however I don’t desire 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 the most effective at describing it, nevertheless it’s woody and spicy. I really watched a TikTok that mentioned Dangerous Bunny wears it, too. In my residence, I’ve been burning Glossier’s Orange Blossom Neroli candle. It smells so good, and I like the vessel.”
