Bruna Marquezine's Favorite Makeup Tips Come From Home, Brazil
The actor and model reveals her personal tricks to achieve fluffly brows and hydrated lips. She also reveals why she won't share a least favorite beauty trend.
Bruna Marquezine is keeping busy. For the actor—who recently starred in and directed the 2024 series Love of My Life (originally, in Portuguese, Amor da Minha Vida)—her beauty routines offer a moment of pause from long days filming or shooting her latest campaign. Accordingly, she likes to keep them simple. They tend to be rooted in "embracing natural beauty [while] knowing how to enhance it in a way that still feels effortless," she tells L'OFFICIEL. For anyone looking to improve their makeup techniques or up the ante of what's in their cabinet, Marquezine's tips offer inspiration.
The 29-year-old star prefers a makeup routine that's all about bringing out her features, like her brows or eyes, which is what she learned growing up in Brazil. "One hack I love is using a little bit of lipstick as blush and dabbing it on your cheeks for a fresh, dewy look," Marquezine says. She adds, "of course, we’re all about the brows—using a toothbrush or spoolie with a little bit of soap to keep them brushed up and natural-looking."
When it comes to skincare, she also likes to keep things simple and streamlined. Rather than an intricate and multi-step routine, Marquezine says she mainly uses a moisturizer, lip balm, and sunscreen. "Gua sha and cold rollers also make a huge difference," she adds. Despite recent beauty trends that have lip oils at the top of everyone's radar, Marquezine prefers lip gloss sticks, specifically YSL Beauty's Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick in shade 02. The Leo model, who is an ambassador for the brand and loyalist to its products, also names its Couture Mini Clutch eyeshadow palette in shade 710 as another one of her favorite makeup items right now.
While thinking of the year ahead, Marquezine is excited about many beauty trends, including the continued appreciation for glow-y skin, but she hesitates to name any as her least favorite. After all, she says, "beauty trends are all about self-expression so it doesn’t feel right to hate on it!"
