“I’m really drawn to glazes that mimic naturally occurring colors and textures,” says L.A. ceramic artist Analuisa Corrigan, whose airy Miracle Mile studio is filled with tactile sconces, table lamps, and design objects in shades of eggshell, blush, sage, and celery. So when she dove into HydroBalm Tinted Lipstick’s lineup of juicy, hydrating shades, it was the sheer rosewood (Bob), wintry petal pink (English Rose), and clear golden peach (Nectar) shades that spoke to her.
A makeup minimalist who moved to L.A in the midst of the pandemic, Corrigan’s no.1 beauty staple for studio visits, denim shopping at Variety, or a trip to the Hollywood farmers’ market is a cool brown lip liner. Combined with HydroBalm’s sheer tinted lipstick, it brings the definition and soft color “that makes me feel most like myself.”
Here, she shares a window into her own personal Los Angeles and the HydroBalm color that’s her everyday ride or die.
What brought you to L.A.?
The pandemic and my boyfriend (now fiancé <3).
What keeps you here?
My studio! I also have a really incredible group of friends here that truly feel like family.
Favorite view of the city:
Overlooking Beachwood Canyon from the top of the Bronson Caves hike.
Describe your perfect day:
I love a mellow Sunday. My fiancé and I always go to the farmers’ market first thing in the morning, then come back and make brunch with some friends. Go for a long walk, make a nice dinner, watch Industry.
Always in your bag for a day around town:
Lip liner.
HydroBalm shade of the moment:
Most wanted for Spring:
I can’t wait to watch the plumeria tree blossom in our backyard.
Dinner with friends at:
Queen’s Raw Bar & Grill if you feel sexy and Golden Deli if you feel like a potato.
The Florist:
805 Lily’s at the Hollywood Farmers’ Market.
The Facialist:
I recently had the best facial of my life at Spencer’s Spa in WeHo. Ask for CJ.
Any other essential beauty destinations?
My bed for 8+ hours.
