PS: Speaking of tours, how do you keep your skin in such great shape when you have to wear all of that makeup?
KP I never sleep with it on. In the beginning of my career, I used to promote Proactiv. I only did it because it sincerely worked for me after trying all kinds of lasers and expensive products. And I’m still promoting it even though I am not in the campaign. But it really works for my skin, especially the cleanser and the toner. Before I do that, I take off my makeup with Shu Uemura oil and a washcloth. And I get lots of sleep — eight to nine hours.
PS: That Shu Uemura oil cleanser is fantastic! I use it, too.
KP Madonna’s makeup artist Gina [Brooke] actually told me about it a few years ago. I was so afraid of putting oil on my skin. When I put it on at night, it actually leaves this nice moisture residue.
PS: Do you ever go makeup-free in real life?
KP I do go makeup free, especially when I’m off cycle from tour. It’s more like for hikes, seeing friends, and being outside. And especially in the Summer, because you just have the right amount of serotonin and Vitamin D. When the Winter comes, I just start to look like a potato and need some shading, so I definitely find it easier to go makeup free in the Summer.
