As HBO’s White Lotus heads toward the season finish line, it’s hard not to hear all about one of its breakthrough stars, Haley Lu Richardson, who plays Portia, the assistant to Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya. While the 27-year-old may get more buzz for her Italian adventures and on-screen fashion looks, we just found out a very solid skin-care lineup that’s made it on her face of late as she makes the rounds.
According to Los Angeles makeup artist Omayma Ramzy, Richardson’s glowing-skin secret for her appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show this week was courtesy of Ramzy’s magical Omayma Skin Facial Oil ($112), a green-hued botanical elixir that’s also a NewBeauty Award winner. (Full credit: Jenna Elfman tipped us off to how good this one is, and she wasn’t exaggerating.)
“I absolutely love doing Haley’s makeup. She is a total sweetheart!” Ramzy shared with us exclusively. “For her makeup I gave it my go-to glowy perfected skin with a touch of color. I prepped her skin with Omayma Skin Bedouin Elixir Facial Oil, as well as a secret brightening serum that isn’t out yet!”
After the confidential skin-care application, Ramzy used the Elf Halo Glow Priming Filter, which she says “honestly beats the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter—somehow it’s creamier and a tad more pigmented. Then, I used my absolute favorite Tom Ford Traceless stick foundation ($76). I love the finish on this, working out from the center of the face.”
For concealer and bronzer-blush combo, Ramzy went the mixing route: “I used the tiniest amount of Milani Cosmetics Concealer ($11) and the Too Faced Born This Way Concealer ($34)—both of them are super hydrating and lightweight. I’ve become a surprising fan of the Milani concealer. It really looks like hydrated skin! I love using a creamy bronzer to sculpt the apples of the cheeks, so I used NARS Cream Bronzer ($34) in Laguna to add warmth and definition. For blush, I used a newer brand called Neen ($25)—I love it. The cream blush leaves such a nice, glowy finish—which I’m all about every step of the way.”
For the eyes, she primed with Urban Decay Priming Potion ($24), followed by Bodyography Glitter Pigments ($23) to create a gorgeous shimmer eye. “I used a purple eye liner from Urban Decay ($23) and then set it with a purple eye shadow to give a soft, smokey purple liner. I did the purple liner to match the shoes that she was wearing to bring the colors together.”
Last but not least, for her brows, Ramzy opted for the brow gel from NYX ($12), which she says she absolutely loves. “Haley’s brows are so full and well-cared for it makes it so easy. On her lips, I used a lip liner from MAC in Boldly Bare ($21), paired with a nude lipstick from Dior Beauty and then a little touch of nude lip gloss over as a topper to add fullness from Sigma Beauty ($10). I think she looked stunning!”
