The Gen-Z Beauty Trend Charli D’Amelio Wishes Would Go Away Forever

You can’t talk about TikTok without mentioning Charli D’Amelio. The 21-year-old grew a massive following for her dance videos, garnering more than 156 million fans. While she’s still prominent on the platform, D’Amelio is now showing off her dance skills on Broadway in &Juliet and is also a brand partner for CeraVe. I had a chance to chat with the star about everything from her skincare routine to her favorite Love Island couple to the one Gen-Z beauty trend she wishes would go away forever.

PureWow: What’s your skincare must-have?

Charli D’Amelio: [CeraVe] has always been there to help me get back to my normal [routine] and it’s shown me that less is more. You don’t always need to do the crazy hundred step skincare routine. Sometimes it just takes a good cleanser [like the Foaming Facial Cleanser] and moisturizer [like the Facial Moisturizing Lotion] to achieve the skin you want.

PW: What’s the best beauty advice you learned on Broadway?

CD: For the majority of the show, I would end up with bronzer and blush sweat marks down [my face] because we’re dancing hard. Sometimes the makeup doesn’t always hold up, so it’s been quite a journey of figuring out exactly what we [dancers] need to be able to have the best shows we can. My secret now is applying One/Size ‘Til Dawn Setting Spray and skipping primer. I personally find that a lot of primers clog my pores and upset my skin. Now, I just stick with my moisturizer as a base and setting spray.
