Since swapping a chemistry degree to follow her acting dreams, Antoinette Robertson has brought her one-of-a-kind charisma to audiences. This summer, the star of Lionsgate’s horror-comedy The Blackening (out today) heads back to the big screen, and is sharing some beauty essentials along the way.
“My scent of choice is Gucci Guilty ($155). It’s sensual and luxurious with vanilla-patchouli notes that soothe me.”
“My moisturizer of choice is La Mer Soft Cream ($380). My skin loves the light moisturizing qualities of the botanicals. It keeps my skin dewy and well-hydrated without looking greasy. It’s a staple in my skin-care regimen.”
“My skin loves to drink up the Water Sleeping Mask by Laneige ($32). California is so dry, and I’m constantly concerned with how it affects my skin. This helps my skin stay balanced.”
“For my body, I mix High Frequenctea Baobab Oil ($40) with raw shea butter. My skin is far happier when I moisturize right after the shower. The combination of these two products and the water on my skin helps lock in the moisture.”
“Ouidad Botanical Boost ($22) helps keep my curls hydrated while in protective styles.”
“Having dry lips is probably one of the worst things to me! So I keep Lucas’ Papaw Ointment ($11) in every bag I own.”
“Love Pat McGrath—the concealer ($34), eyeliner ($30) and mascara ($34). I don’t want to wear foundation all the time, and I find that a simple line on the eyes, some mascara and concealer go a long way in making my everyday look just a little more glam.”
“Fenty’s Gloss Bomb Cream in Honey Waffles ($22) is the perfect nude for my complexion. The makeup artist on the set of The Blackening used it on me for the film and I fell in love with it.”
“I love a good leave-in, and Giovanni Direct Leave-In Weightless Moisture Conditioner ($10) makes my curls bouncy without weighting them down.”
“Supergoop! Play Antioxidant Body Mist ($21) is an essential. Sunscreen is the most vital part of my skin-care routine—I don’t leave home without it.”
