María Zardoya, Musician, The Marías

“I prefer 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 unique state of consciousness the place we might rediscover who we have been in a brand new dynamic. ‘No One Observed,’ one in all 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 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 expensive, however I’d 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
Once I’m on stage, my look wants to have the ability to face 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 dust and make-up are already on my face. I 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 up to now which have damaged me out, and to this point, Barbara Sturm’s hasn’t. It’s fairly expensive, however I do suppose it’s price it. Plus, you’ll be able to actually stretch it out to make it final.

My dermatologist, Dr. Heather Roberts, beneficial her vitamin C. I pat it on, await it to dry, after which throw on squalane oil from The Extraordinary, which she additionally beneficial 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.

In the case 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 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 she or he actually understands that I like a pure, nearly no-makeup look. In fact, we do outline every thing a bit extra since I’m on stage below brilliant 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 the rest, I feel. It simply offers me this actually nice dewy end.

I like Make Up For Ever’s eye pencil—it gained’t budge the whole 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 lots of browns with a little 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 nice all-around with quantity and size—and it doesn’t clump and it’s not too dramatic—so I take advantage of it for reveals but in addition in my every day life. It lasts by my water second, but it surely’s not too tough 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 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 onerous.’

I like to overline my lips a little 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 Mushy Rose, which is just about the identical shade as my lips, simply enhanced a little bit bit. It goes on like a gloss however then it dries matte and stays on the whole 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 provide me a type of grunge moist look. We use R+CO’s pomade and the look lasts the whole evening. It was essential 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 good condition. I’ve to clean it each evening 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 but it surely takes me all of 10 minutes as a result of I bought 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 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 perfect at describing it, but it surely’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 like the vessel.”
