What’s Her Go-To Red Carpet Look?

For red carpet events Skai Jackson loves to accentuate her eyes and highlight her skin. “I love [for my skin] to have a nice dewy glow.”

Looking to recreate the same glow? For eyes that pop, you can never go wrong with a cateye and volumizing mascara. Before applying your base, complete your cat eye and top your lashes with your favorite mascara. For the ultimate glow, use a primer with a subtle shimmer and highlight the high plains of your face, and set the look with you favorite setting spray.

Her Go-To Protective Styles?

When it comes to beauty, Skai is definitely a hair girl. “I love to play around with products, but I only use products with natural ingredients. I don’t touch my hair too much—usually I’ll just put it in a bun or a ponytail, but when I’m on the show I always wear a two-strand twist out.” The actress usually washes her hair every 10-12 days and hydrates her strands with natural oils like coconut oil, castor oil and Jamaican Black castor oil.
