You may not know her by name, but you would definitely have seen the 24-year-old American actress, Lili Reinhart, on your Netflix homepage and trailers. Starring as Betty Cooper in the teenage flick Riverdale (remember Archie comics?), Reinhart is also face of Covergirl‘s Clean Fresh range.
And Reinhart keeps it real by sharing her skin setbacks and filter fatigue:
At the moment, Lill Reinhart has been enjoying a much needed skin break. “I’m not having to go to work and wear makeup for 16 hours a day, so it’s been really nice for my skin to have a break from loads of makeup,” she says “That’s been really beneficial for my breakouts, honestly.”
If Reinhart is going to wear makeup, she finds comfort in the fact the makeup she’s wearing is clean, vegan and cruelty-free. “I know there are no parabens, sulfates, talcs or any bad ingredients in this Clean Fresh Covergirl line.” Reinhart reveals it’s the concealer from the same range (currently only available in the US) that has been her everyday isolation go-to. “It’s really nice for blocking out any redness I have.”
Reinhart looks for the same realistic inspiration she hopes to offer, too. “I think it’s important for me to show that acne is normal. I like to follow Instagram accounts of women who [also] show off their natural skin texture, I don’t like people [who are] photoshopped, filtered or [wearing] super heavy makeup.”
“I don’t want to be wearing a lot of makeup because I don’t need it, and it doesn’t make me feel super confident [wearing so much],” Reinhart says. She also has some favourite sources of inspiration as far as fellow celebs go as well. “I think Margot Robbie always looks really beautiful on the red carpet, her skin always looks natural.”
Reinhart only recently discovered the topical that works for her acne. “I’m a big skincare person – I love trying to find new products that work. One of the products that really helped my cystic acne was Anti Bump by Renée Rouleau. Her products are really, really wonderful, and that one really helped my skin.”
Skin and body positivity go hand in hand for Reinhart. “My body’s not chiselled or perfect by any means – and that’s totally fine by me. I don’t have a size-zero waist and I have love handles, and so I’m gonna show the world.”
