\n\tChristina Ricci\u2018s Merit Beauty campaign is the definition of understated glamour. Unveiled on Oct. 22 in support of the Solo Shadow Sheen launch, the shoot highlights the versatility of Merit\u2019s newest cream eyeshadows, joining the existing lineup of matte shades. Adding anything from a subtle pearlescent finish to a shimmery, smoky look, the six sheer yet buildable Sheen washes are equal parts playful and wearable.<\/p>\n
\n\tTo celebrate the partnership, Ricci broke down her beauty non-negotiables. From her no. 1 skin-care product to her everyday makeup look, here\u2019s what\u2019s in Christina Ricci\u2019s cosmetic case.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhich of Merit\u2019s Solo Shadow Sheen shades was your favorite to wear? And why? <\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tMy favorite shade is Sartorial, it\u2019s a great color. I really like a nice dark plum-y kind of eye that can go from day to night. Because of the way these eye shadows are, they\u2019re very sheer so you can layer them for a more dramatic look or you can use them lightly and I really really like that. <\/p>\n \t\tShown in Sartorial Sheen.\t<\/p>\n \n\tHow would you wear Merit\u2019s new Solo Shadow Sheen? <\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tI would wear either Sartorial or Iris, which is a lilac color. I like to have a more dramatic makeup look, I kind of joke that it is always evening on my face when I wear makeup. I\u2019m very extreme. I either wear a full face or nothing. So, I would make it part of my look and I generally do a bit of a smokey eye to finish off. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tChristina Ricci for Merit Beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMerit<\/p>\n \n\tDo you have any other Merit favorites other than the new Solo Shadow Sheens? <\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tI like the Merit Flush Balm blushes, they\u2019re really nice. And, again, it\u2019s so nice to have a product that is sheer so you can decide what level of pigmentation you ultimately want to have on your face. <\/p>\n \t\tAvailable in 13 shades.\t<\/p>\n \n\tWhat are your top press tour essentials \u2014 beauty, wellness, fashion or otherwise? Can be anything, the more random the better.<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tI love Lancer\u2019s exfoliating scrub. That\u2019s one of my favorites. And I also really love his resurfacing lotion. <\/p>\n \t\tChoose between three options: Sensitive-Dehydrated Skin, Oily-Congested Skin and Sensitive-Dehydrated Skin.\t<\/p>\n \n\tI really love face masks in the morning before I go on camera. So I do one face mask from Hanacure and then I will do a 111SKIN Black Diamond Sheet Mask. And if I feel like I\u2019m puffy, I might do one of the de-puffing masks in between the Hanacure and the Black Diamond. I am a crazy person who will not travel, or go on tour or go on camera without doing my face prep which involves the masks. I have a monthly subscription to all of my masks. <\/p>\n \t\tGet 30 percent off with code FALL30 for a limited time.\t<\/p>\n \n\tSimilarly, what life must-haves do you always keep in your bag? <\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tI always have to have Neosporin in my purse and Band-Aids: Band-Aids for blisters and Neosporin for little cuts and things. And also, I have this horrible habit of biting my nails and the skin around my nails and I have to put Neosporin on that so\u2026 in an effort to not do that.<\/p>\n \n\tOf all the characters you\u2019ve played in your career, whose makeup\/beauty look and personality reflects who you are today the most? <\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tI don\u2019t know that any of the characters that I played reflect who I am today very closely. You know, I think as an actress, you move through them the way you move through sort of phases of your life, so I don\u2019t know that any of the people that I played in the past directly relate to sort of the person I am now, if that makes sense. <\/p>\n \n\tWhat are the top skin care and beauty tips you\u2019ve learned during your career? Whose advice has endured the most? <\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tThe top advice is the most basic advice I got from dermatologist Dr. Lancer, and that is to exfoliate your skin every day. <\/p>\n \n\tRelated: <\/strong>Hollywood\u2019s 15 Favorite Clean Beauty Picks Marked Down for Credo\u2019s Annual Sale<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, The Hollywood Reporter may receive an affiliate commission.
