While we're fans of Drew Barrymore for her acting chops and sense of humor, what we admire most about her is her honesty and passion. The star brings that to every single one of her projects, whether it's her high-quality Walmart-exclusive cosmetics brand, her Barrymore rosé, and, no doubt, her upcoming Netflix series, The Santa Clarita Diet.
We're especially pleased that she brought this transparency to divulging her beauty secrets. While promoting her new show, she sat down with The New York Times and spilled all her best tricks. In addition to sharing who does her hair color (the legendary Tracey Cunningham) and her key to flawless skin (an annual Clear and Brilliant laser treatment), she revealed every last product in her hair, skin, and makeup regimen. Keep reading to discover — and shop! — them all.
"I’m a compulsive face washer. For me, it’s three times a day, morning, noon, and night. I like my cleansers baby mild. If I’m on the run, I grab a Cetaphil."
"I have to have a toner, no matter what. Otherwise, I just break out. I have the Clinique acne clearing gel."
"I like to pad my moisturizer with a Christine Chin brightening serum. I'm obsessed with her line. It's the only thing I splurge on. I don't have time to go for facials, so I haven't seen her in years, but every couple of months, I'm buying the goods."
"The biggest game changer is, no question, Korean beauty. You get all this amazing moisturizing without the oil. I’ve used really expensive products and really inexpensive products, and most moisturizers break me out. The Korean masks have changed my life. The one I love the most is JayJun Baby Pure Shining Mask. When I take it off, I look like I got out of a facialist appointment."

"I like Kate Somerville under-eye cream for dark circles."
"Every SPF breaks me out. There are only two I’ve ever found that don’t."
"Sometimes I do the Dry Touch with [this] powder on top."

"I would say 90 percent of my life, I wear zero makeup. But I almost never leave the house without my Skincognito Stick Foundation from Flower, because it covers blue, red, brown, purple."
"I usually pick a lip color and stick with it for the month. Right now, I’m obsessed with Flower’s Sand Bar; it’s a matte color that comes in a squeeze-y tube. I do my lips and cheeks, and then whatever I have on my fingers, I just dot on my eyelids. It gives the eyes a sunset feel, a pinkish hue."

"I can’t live without Aquaphor for my lips. I’m convinced it’s got me on a feeder. I just need more, more, and more."
"I’m usually too lazy for mascara. But our Zoom-In mascara is one of my favorites because it’s really goopy gloppy. I call them carpet lashes, as in actual real fringy carpet. The name never really took off."
"My favorite mask is the J. F. Lazartigue shea butter one. I glop it in, braid my hair and go to sleep, wake up and at some point take a shower. It completely brings back elasticity to the follicle."
"I just bought the Philip B. Oud Royal Conditioner. It looks like gold paint coming out of the tube."
"For shampoo, I love Living Proof Restore. That’s the only one that works for me. The other formulas and me do not get along."
