Tate McRae’s Comfort Watches Include Love Island and Wingstop Mukbangs

What’s one beauty rule you swear by?

Tate McRae: Put on a shit ton of moisturizer. If my skin feels good and my face feels good, then I’m satisfied with makeup. But if my skin’s dry, I feel like everything goes down hill from there. So I’d say make sure you get a lot of moisturizer on before you start the makeup.

What’s your beauty routine like on tour?

I drink lots of water and make sure I’m never sleeping in my makeup. I always have to clean my face after I get off stage because it’s a total workout. But honestly, a lot of it is what goes in your body and your self-care routine. What I’ve realized is when I take that 30 minutes at the end of the night to just take some time for myself and clear my skin and make sure I feel good and ready for bed, I feel like that’s when I wake up the next day and I’m ready to do a show. If I don’t take that time for myself, then you can get thrown off pretty quick.

What’s one beauty rule you think is BS?

I tried to jump on the whole 20-step skin-care routine, and I really tried because I love the girls that put their headbands on and do a super-intricate routine. And every single time I’ve attempted to do that, I break out and my skin goes crazy. So, for me personally, just keeping it simple and clean—and not the cutest-looking skin-care products, just something that is very simple and clean and three ingredients. Clean your face and put a moisturizer on. That’s been my holy grail.

Fill in the blank. I feel most beautiful when___.

When I internally feel confident about my personality and myself. That’s when I could not give two shits about what I look like on the outside. If I feel confident in my soul and how I’m acting, then I think everything on the outside doesn’t really matter to me.

Do you remember the first beauty product you ever used?

I always stole my mom’s makeup, but I remember in ballet when I used to put on mascara for the first time and it was a tube mascara. It was the only mascara my mom owned.

What is your biggest beauty fail?

So many. I have a good glam team who does me right, but I’ve done some awful looks in the past with crazy colors. I also do my own glam on tour and sometimes, if I’m too many cities in, I’ll give myself a black eye with too much of a smoky eye. I can do a lot.
