I know I’m not the only one curious about celebs and influencers’ favorite beauty buys as well as who and what shape their view of beauty in the biz.
Kat Graham has bewitched audiences since she was six with her moves, music, and magic on the big and small screens. Aside from being a well-rounded entertainer, she’s got serious beauty chops to boot. The Caress and Wet ‘n’ Wild ambassador regularly skips the glam squad in favor of doing it herself and considers fragrance to be the finishing touch to any ensemble. After meeting The Vampire Diaries star and learning more about her girl-powered attitude on beauty, I recently reached out to the multi-hyphenate maven to get her take on all things beauty, including how she channels her inner beauty, who she turns to for inspiration, and what her major must-have of the year is so far.
On her approach to beauty: “I like to keep my beauty routine simple. It’s important to keep skin hydrated and stick to an inside-out approach. I make sure to drink lots of water throughout the day, use a light moisturizer, and avoid sugary drinks and snacks.”

On her current beauty idols: “I love Chrissy Teigen’s makeup, Priyanka Chopra, Jennifer Lopez, Iman…. They all make a point to play up their best features in a way that’s so effortlessly gorgeous—never caked on!”
On her first beauty buy: “I’ve been using Caress for forever! Seriously, I remember using Daily Silk Body Wash in high school and just loving the way it made my skin look and feel.”
Her best beauty advice: “The best beauty advice I’ve received is to wear and rock the trends that make you feel confident—it’s about accentuating the features you love and channeling that inner beauty.”

On perfecting her makeup technique: “Truthfully, I typically do my own makeup – but I pull a lot of inspiration from the beauty bloggers and influencers on Instagram. They inspire me to try new color palettes and trends.”
Her pick for the best beauty buy of 2016 (so far): “Caress Enchant Forever Body Wash, of course! I love dark, mysterious fragrances and the sandalwood, musk and vanilla notes in Enchant Forever perfectly capture that. I especially love that for up to 12 hours after showering, I can touch my skin to release a burst of fine fragrance – knowing I smell great is such a confidence booster!”
