Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Says This Concealer Is So Good It’s Replaced Her Foundation

I don’t really understand why she never just took me to the hairdressers to get it sorted out. In the end I ended up with this green, gingery tinged mess of a hair for a good year. There are hardly any photographs of me from the age of 14 to 15, and if there are, I’m damn miserable. So, yeah, I wouldn’t recommend any at-home hair-dye kits.

What’s one beauty rule you swear by?

Taking off my makeup before I go to bed and using noncomedogenic skin-care and makeup products.

Fill in the blank. I love my hair…

After my hairdresser Christian Wood has done it. Lately I’ve been growing my hair out. I’m trying to get it as healthy as possible because much of it got really brittle and broken after I had my son. I just want to have healthy, long, luscious hair at the moment. And I’ve sort of reverted a little bit and just wanting to keep things much more simple lately. For me I think I feel my best when I just feel elegant and simple and not too fussy.

I’d have no idea your hair is brittle. It looks so healthy. What do you use?

I’m always rotating shampoos, but I always come back to Christophe Robin. I love his Aloe Vera hydrating shampoo and conditioner. I’m also using the Kérastase one with the orange lid. It’s like the OG of hydrating shampoos. And it really, truly is an incredible shampoo.

You travel so much. Is there a country or city that gives you the greatest beauty inspiration?

I think here in Los Angeles. When you go to Europe, women are much more experimental and bold with their look, more eccentric and playful. But I find here in L.A., it’s really the hub of the beginning of beauty, wellness, and fitness trends. We’ve got amazing aestheticians, doctors, makeup artists, and stylists here. But I also love places like Copenhagen. Women in places like that are just so cool and elegant.

What’s the best beauty advice your mom ever gave you?

Makeup is about enhancing what you have, not hiding what you have. When I was young, I remember thinking, What does that mean? And as I’ve gotten older, it’s sort of meant different things to me. And now, in my thirties, I think it means the way you apply your makeup. Instead of masking something you don’t like, enhance the things you do like.

Natasha Lyonne Writes a Love Letter to Rosie O'Donnell

In a world short on joy, humor can be a unifier and a survival tool. In that spirit, we bring you our Comedy Issue, a monthlong celebration of funny (and fearless) women and the enduring power of a good laugh. Here Orange Is the New Black star Natasha Lyonne salutes the woman who made her see the value in being wholly authentic.

I first met Rosie when we worked together on a Nora and Delia Ephron play called Love, Loss, and What I Wore in 2008. Rosie had this one monologue called, “The Purse,” which Nora had written about giving up Hermès bags, and the absurdity of them. This was an eight-page monologue, and Rosie was literally able to take the audience in the palm of her hand and take them on a ride during it. The way she was able to lift and drop the volume of the audience’s laughter, it just became a piece of music. Working with Rosie, Nora, Delia, and Samantha Bee on that production taught me that there’s space for all of us. Between working on the play and doing Orange Is the New Black, I totally changed my tomboy perspective, and gained an appreciation for sharing the stage with other women.

During the play I was coming out of a drug addicted time in my life, but Nora and Rosie adopted me into the fold, and it really healed me as a human being. Now Rosie and I are this odd couple, and we go to Broadway plays. She loves them; I loathe them. My god! Some of the productions I’ve had to sit through. It’s like nails on a chalkboard to me, but I look over and Rosie’s like, “C’mon, Tashy, that was amazing!” Then we go to Sardi’s and grab dinner.

What’s so wild about Rosie is that she’s such a subversive figure who was able to become mainstream. Recently, I rewatched an Ellen DeGeneres appearance on Rosie’s show, and they’re doing what they called the “Lebanese sketch.” It’s psychedelic! It was 1996, and they’re just dancing around being gay. Or watching her stuff in comedy clubs. It’s fucking epic, because she’s in a pantsuit with a curly shag, looking like a cross between David Lee Roth and Pat Benatar. And this was during an era when guys like Andrew Dice Clay were big, and she’s doing a Goodfellas shtick. What other woman was speaking that language?

Rosie’s such an important figure for women. I’ll never forget introducing Aubrey Plaza to her. I was having dinner with Rosie and texting with Aubrey and I was like, “Why don’t you come over?” She came right over, and I’ve never seen Aubrey so starstruck. She’s such a weirdo and a cool cucumber, but it was almost like seeing Santa Claus—that someone who’s so iconic could be real. But that’s the beauty of someone like Rosie. She’s able to communicate, from a distance, to other young girls that it’s OK to be themselves. That’s a strength she’s personally given me.

Natasha Lyonne costars in Orange Is the New Black, which returns to Netflix this month. Rosie O’Donnell costars on Showtime’s SMILF.
