Badass Beauty Tips From The Babes Of SXSW
Ever wonder how female musicians manage to look totally kick-ass even after months on the road and very little time to get ready? Yeah, us too. So, we caught up with some of our favorite indie darlings at SXSW to get their secrets for looking pulled-together even when they feel like a hot mess. Grab a pencil, you’re gonna want to take some notes.
Madeline Follin, Cults
We first laid eyes on Madeline Follin on the cover of Cults' self-titled album last year, and instantly became a fan of her dream-pop vocals and overall style. When we met up with Follin during SXSW, she looked wide-eyed and bushy-tailed despite the band’s rigorous show schedule. And after a year of nonstop touring, thanks in part to the band’s overnight success, she has quickly learned to adapt to life on the road.
What's your must-have beauty product when you're on the road?
"Sally Hansen Nail Polish Strips in Glitz Blitz — that way I can do my nails on the road and I don’t have to worry about spilling polish in the van."
How do you keep your hair looking great in less-than-favorable conditions?
"Pssst Dry Shampoo. Even the guys in the band steal it. If I can’t shower after a show, I use the dry shampoo to keep my hair from looking oily."
Do you have any quick-fix beauty tricks you rely on to get gorgeous in a flash?
"I spritz rosewater on my face when I'm feeling tired or gross, and it instantly makes me look and feel better."
