From an Augustinus Bader devotion (it was her go-to skin-care brand on the George Clooney–directed The Tender Bar, which she just wrapped production on; you can see her next in American Horror Story, retuning August 25) to a strong Shani Darden loyalty, Lily Rabe loves beauty. “I’ve always been into products. When you do theater, you do your own makeup, so I’m somewhat adept at that,” she shares. “But I don’t even know where to begin with a blowdryer.”

“I have a lot of favorites! Where should I start? There are some things I’ve used for years and years, and then some things that are new to me. I’m always open to trying new things. Right now, and for the rest of my life,I will be devoted to Augustinus Bader.”

“Something I’ve gotten really into for work recently are these eye masks ($115) by 111SKIN. I tried on a pair, and I’ll never turn back.”

“I love Chantecaille, I love Beautycounter, I love Gucci Westman, I love True Botanicals—they have really great oils ($112).”

“There’s a company called Baeo that I got for my little ones, but then I started using it myself. It’s super clean.”

“For my hair, I love Olaplex, Virtue and Innersense, which I discovered during a late-night Google session. That’s where you can find me: doing my beauty run over on Google and Goop.”

“I needed something major for my hands from all the sanitizing, so I’ve started using La Mer The Hand Treatment ($95).”

“I love Shani Darden—even though I haven’t had a facial in over a year—but she is great and she makes this cleanser that is my all-time favorite. She also got me into the iSClinical serums ($138). There’s a tingly one that is amazing.”

“I’m also always on the hunt for clean perfumes or perfume oils. It’s great when I find one. I think, because I grew up on the East Coast, I’m drawn to different scents during different seasons. You can’t feel the different seasons in LA, but I always want to change whatever fragrance I’m wearing depending on the time of year. I want winter to be wintery and cozy, even if it’s 80 degrees outside.
