Showtime! Being in front of a camera all the time means that our favorite social media influencers are in the know when it comes to skincare and beauty tips that help nail the perfect shot. Stylish got the inside scoop from singer Cailee Rae and YouTube sensation Alexa Mae on some of their beauty secrets and what they do to get a camera-ready complexion before their upcoming big night out: the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Before heading over to the Bioré® Skincare Pop-Up Skin Spa, LA It Girls Cailee Rae and Alexa Mae dished on their excitement and their typical morning rituals before a big night.
"It's my favorite because I love being pampered, so it's just fun to do that and be around a good group of people," Rae said of the pop-up experience. Plus, there are facials! "Facialists always have the softest hands and it's the most relaxing thing ever," the singer confessed.
"I have really dry skin, so I have to prep my face before makeup," Rae explained of her typical beauty routine. After washing her face with the Baking Soda Acne Cleansing Foam to remove lingering dirt and oil, Rae makes sure to over-moisturize when her skin is feeling thirsty, a trick she uses to help her makeup last all night.
But it’s not all about what’s on the outside. "I also love to meditate. Meditation is really important to me and I feel like it really brings you back and gets you ready for all the interviews, press and pictures," she adds.
For Mae, she starts the preparation the night before a big event. “I like to do a face mask so my face is hydrated and brighter the next day," she says. She makes sure to exfoliate with the Bioré® Skincare Charcoal Scrub in order to clear away dead skin cells and prevent breakouts, and finishes her regimen with toner and a moisturizer.
It comes as no surprise that Rae and Mae are both big fans of the Biore® Skincare Deep Cleansing Pore Strips to help remove deep-down dirt and oil.
“My boyfriend and I are obsessed with them and sometimes we'll literally sit on the couch and have competitions as to whose strip is grosser after using them," Rae joked. "I use them at least once a week because it's a great way to deep-cleanse," she continues. As for the satisfying feeling after seeing the gunk get out of your nose, Rae doesn’t seem to mind. “You're disappointed if there's nothing there,” she says. And it seems she’s not alone!
Mae's go-to product is the same, adding, "The pore strips are my favorite just because I think it's so cool when you take them off and you see what's under there.” For her iHeartRadio Music Awards prep, Mae used the charcoal version along with the Bioré® Skincare Self Heating One Minute Mask to clean and refresh her complexion.
To ensure that they're picture perfect on the carpet, the girls explained their tricks for a flawless look.
Mae tells Stylish that less is more when it comes to a big event like iHeartRadio Music Awards. "You don't want to overdo it, so I make sure not to wear too much makeup, but I always bring powder in case a quick touch up is needed."
Rae actually prefers the opposite: "I say put on more makeup than you think, but also make it look natural. I love being luminous, but not too luminous."
Whether Rae and Mae are more fresh-faced or using heavy makeup, both girls sure stunned throughout the entire night.
