Actress Rooney Mara is not afraid to experiment with different beauty looks: after all, she did undergo a dramatic makeover for her part in ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ which involved cutting her hair short and getting multiple piercings. Known for her flawless complexion and love of dark lipstick, Rooney has shared some of her simple but effective tips for gorgeous glowing skin and her very quick, natural makeup secrets.
- She Sticks to Trusted Brands
Rooney’s skin is sensitive so she sticks to products she knows work well already: “I don’t use a lot of products because my skin is so sensitive, though I always wear sunscreen, usually Chanel and Dermalogica. I try to eat healthfully and hardly ever drink alcohol. When you eat the right things, you don’t need that many products.”
- Her Quick Makeup Routine
She has a simple one-minute makeup routine: “Tinted moisturizer, concealer if I need it, and some powder—probably Laura Mercier or Chanel. I use a Nars blush stick on my lips, too.”
- She Adds Loose Powder Over Sunscreen
Rooney uses a Laura Mercier loose setting powder after she applies sun-screen to take away the shine: “This is great at taking down the shine after you apply sun-screen. It adds a bit of matte—and never seems too powdery.”
- She Loves Multi-Use Products
She loves products such as ‘Nars the Multiple’ as it’s several products rolled into one: “I’m embarrassed to say, one of my favorite shades is Orgasm. I toss one of these sticks in my bag and rub it on whenever I need a hit of color.”
- She Always Wears Sun Protection
Rooney’s biggest beauty secret is to always wear sunscreen: “This is going to sound so simple, but sunscreen! I always wear sunscreen. I also find that what you eat is the best beauty secret; it sort of starts from the inside out.”
