The Lipstick 'Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Star Rachel Brosnahan Swears By

Power Pout

My makeup artist, Lisa Aharon, taught me that a bold, poppy lip can make you look awake and alive no matter how dead and tired you feel on the inside. We use a lot of reds on the show, but Im more of a pink girl in real life.

Morning Must-Haves

I have really sensitive skin, so I keep my routine super simple. In the morning I use Cetaphils gentle cleanser, then I follow it with Vintners Daughter serum. Thats pretty much it.

Sweat Switch-Up

My schedule is crazy, so I try to find a balance between resting and working out. I do SoulCycle and yoga, and I also like changing it up. I got a gym membership to Equinox and went to this class called MetCon3. Its just as hardcore as it sounds. I peeled myself off the floor at the end and was sore for about a week, but Id go back.

Breakout Scene

We shoot Maisel in the summer, yet on the show, its technically fall. So I have to wear head-to-toe wool and a wig in the NYC heat. Ill be sweating profusely, so they keep powdering my face. Then my skin breaks out. This clay mask has been really helpful. I get nervous about using purifying products on my sensitive skin, but it doesnt get cakey or dry.

Makeup MVP

I focus on skin care, so I can wear less makeup when Im not shooting. I typically just throw on some concealer with my fingers or a beauty blender. Once I find a product I like, I stick with it for a long time. Ive been using this Nars concealer for years.

Role Reversal

My character, Miriam, genuinely takes great pleasure in putting on her face each morning. I think beauty in the 1950s was more about making yourself look like someone else. Thats not how I approach it today. I like to look like myself.

Strand Saver

Im a natural blonde, but Ive been coloring my hair dark for 12 years. Thats a lot of layers of dye, so I have to take care of my hair. I use the Olaplex mask two times a week, and it makes my locks silky.

Fighting Smart

In high school I was the only girl on a wrestling team of all boys. It taught me to find my unique skills and use them to my advantage. I was quick, and that meant I was often faster than my male opponents, even if they were stronger.
