patricia clarkson, 54 yrs old, is basically the meryl streep of indie. she's been in a lot of movies you love, you just probably don't realise it. examples of her stunning work include:
pieces of april (she got an oscar nom for her role),
six feet under,
high art (my personal fave),
the station agent (also amazing), and i'll mention easy a too because it's usually where everyone knows her from. today she stars on broadyway with bradley cooper in the elephant man. now that you have the synopsis on her career and you remember how fab she is, let's focus on her fave skin care and makeup products.
skin care:she showers to start the day. she also uses
Tom's soap and Nature's Gate Body Wash."I try to use all-natural products as much as I can. I generally like anything that has aloe vera in it.
Kiehl’s Crème de Corps is the best body lotion there is."
a
nd then she washes her face with Cetaphil, and then uses a toner by Dr. Hauschka."And, of course, I use moisturizer. There’s this amazing stuff called Power Rich by Dermalogica, and it comes in little tiny tubes." sometimes she'll mix it up and use
Dermalogica Super Rich Repair as well as the multivitamin exfoliator. also, HATS.
"People are always like, “Your skin, what’s the secret?” Hats! Everybody knows I live in hats. I have a huge collection."at night she just uses Cetaphil and an all natural makeup remover called No Tears. after that she she moisturises again with something by Dr. Hauschka, and then she sleeps bc she's human.
makeup:she's really specific about makeup, and she uses
Clé de Peau foundation."It’s light, but the coverage is beautiful. It doesn’t dry me out. But you pay for it.
I also use an under-eye stick by Shu Uemura that’s amazing but hard to find. For blush, there’s a soft pink by Kevyn Aucoin that I like." and she has a lot of expensive eye shadow palettes but she likes Maybelline; taupe and gray are her fave colours for eyeshadow.
as for eyeliner: Sephora's eyeliner in black and grey. "I have the best mascara in the business. I hate to bring it out, because it’s already so hard to find. It’s the volumizing mascara by Rilastil, this Italian brand."her absolute fave lipstick is Cherries in the Snow by Revlon."red lips have become my signature, and they’re powerful. My mother taught me that." she also uses this "incredible" lipstick from Sephora by Bite Beauty. if she's going onstage, she uses Bobbi Brown bronzing powder in Golden Light. she doesn't contour.
fragrance:"I have Stila Crème Bouquet. A man once told me I smelled like cookies."🍪
hair and diet/fitness:"It’s good to change up products so your hair doesn’t get used to something." she uses everything from
olive conditioner & shampoo from Kiehl's to Aveda to Redken."Or I’ll use John Frieda." sometimes she gets a facial, and for mani/pedi she gets the Essie Classic red or Revlon Cherries in the Snow. for diet and fitness she tries to work out twice a week with a trainer. "
I’m gluten-free and dairy-free, and have been for many, many years. When I have a show, I eat a lot of protein, and I do some protein shakes. For this one, I have to wear a corset, so you know there’s not much room in there. I won’t be able to eat past 4."
