Kat Graham Interview

What’s your morning beauty routine usually like?
If I’ve got a really long day on set, I usually will have to shower before bed. But if I’m tired and I haven’t been shooting in the Georgia woods for 15 hours, then I like to start off my day clean and fresh. I’ve been showering with Caress. I can’t even remember a time I took a shower or a bath without it.
I always do my makeup in the morning. I start off with moisturizing and then I go into makeup and a finishing spray, and I usually carry around a travel-size bottle of water. And I always refresh my face throughout the day with something like an Evian spritz. I give myself a nice spritz. A lot of people think that you should immediately touch up your face, but I believe in hydrating it. That’s really where your skin is at. Sometimes I don’t even need to reapply any makeup.
I was looking at your Instagram account, and at the GLAAD Awards, it seems like you had done your own makeup.
I always do my own makeup. I don’t let anyone do my makeup. Sometimes Mary Phillips or Edward Cruz. But other than them, I’m pretty good. They’re masters, but I feel like I’m a master at my own face. I know exactly what I want, and I’m a Virgo. I can do it. I like to be self-sufficient and kind of a one-woman army. I don’t like a lot of fluff around me. Even in my team, it’s just me here right now with my Caress PR women. I don’t have an entourage. I like to keep things low-key.
Have you always done your own makeup for events and for the red carpet?
Sadly, yes. I should have known better when I was younger because I hadn’t mastered it yet, but I’m into trying to figure out who I am, trying different things, and not letting anyone dictate my image, how I smell, or how I look. Psychologically, being an actor and musician, I almost feel that I have to be hyper-independent of being vulnerable to other people’s wishes or other people’s opinions. When you’re an artist, you’re like, This is me, this is who I am, and I don’t need anyone telling me.
o you feel more pressure having that engaged fan base?
No. I don’t feel pressure. Sometimes I feel the pressure to be a young-Hollywood, dimmed version of what I am. I feel the pressure of being like other celebrities who maybe aren’t as proactive in activism, don’t want to talk about women’s issues, equal pay, or equal rights. Sometimes I feel the pressure to not talk about those things because it’s not pretty and it doesn’t look cute on a carpet.
I’m really so grateful and feel so blessed to be in line with a brand that is encouraging me to talk about being a fierce woman. Sometimes that doesn’t always look glamorous. In March, I did this march for the U.N.’s Women for Peace. My mom was with me, and we have our own history of abuse and all of that. And we were arm-in-arm, marching down the streets of New York and traffic stopped. That was the power of being a woman.
What do you think about the current talk in Hollywood about equal pay?
It’s a similar conversation as to what’s happening with diversity. These are very serious issues. That we’re still dealing with these issues in 2016 is abhorrent. I will always do everything in my power to support other people and to bring awareness to any sort of injustices that are happening.
that would you say to people who think that Hollywood is perpetuating unrealistic standards of beauty?
They’re 100 percent correct. Why I want to produce and develop projects is so that what you see on television is what you look at outside. If you’re constantly putting anyone from the Middle East in a dangerous perspective, then you’re perpetuating that that is an acceptable point of view for everyone.
I hope that whether you are a writer, director, or an actor, you are promoting the idea that everyone is beautiful in their own way and showcasing that you can be smart, fierce, sexy at any size or any age, and you can be beautiful and powerful. I’m hoping that I start to see a shift in that because I’m really getting sick of it. I’m doing everything in my power from where I’m standing to challenge the industry, the media, and myself to shift the consciousness of how we are painting our characters.
