Actress Rose Byrne discovered that she is allergic to many chemicals used in beauty products, so over time has complied a strict beauty bible that she uses to figure out which products are safe for her to apply. Thankfully, she has found several good products that she swears by and always uses:
”I discovered I was allergic to all these chemicals and we put together a very strict bible of all the products I could use. I use a NARS tinted moisturiser. I love those Fresh lip stains. I wear them religiously. They are terrific in a berry colour. I try to put on a hat if I can.”
Despite her skin allergy, Rose loves makeup and says she wears it daily because she simply loves to improve how she looks. She thinks it’s just a part of taking care of yourself and doesn’t mind if it isn’t completely natural:
”I actually wear makeup everyday. Growing up, my mum never wore a lot of makeup, she was very natural. However, it’s important to take care of yourself and it doesn’t hurt to put on a bit of lipstick.”
Speaking on the idea of beauty itself, Rose does believe in the idea that it “comes from within” but has noticed that as an actress, she is often judged on her appearance, and says it’s a harsh world because it’s so based on looks and she regularly faces criticism no matter what she looks like:
”Beauty comes from within. It’s a cliché, but I think it’s true. However, in this business, it’s hard to reconcile that when you’re constantly being told things about your appearance, whether it’s that you are too pretty or too plain or too brunette or whatever the problem is.”
