In an interview with who what wear, Saweetie explained her beauty routine when she’s short on time.
“I am definitely putting on some lip gloss,” she said to the outlet. “I love my Icy Lips by Saweetie($9) collection with Morphe—they make your lips look so succulent and juicy. If my nails are chipped, I’m using Sinful Colors Press-On Claws Manicures because they are so easy to put on. I’m using my baby-hair products—Kiss’s Edge Fixer Glued. I’m putting on some Black Girl Sunscreen to protect the skin. And, you know, if I’m in a hurry and just have to run around town, people laugh at me, but I actually use Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra Fine Mist as perfume.”

When it comes to nail designs, Saweetie is that girl. From colorful neons to bright tie-dyes, the “My Type” rapper is a walking billboard for fabulous nail art. And in an interview with who what wear, she explains just how she keeps her nails camera-ready.
“Make sure you steam your nails and hands when you’re removing anything or cleaning up your nails. Always just steam your skin so it’s nice and soft and ready to get cleaned out. It makes such a difference and your acrylics will come off a lot easier!”

Part of her beauty involves her clean, youthful skin. But according to Saweetie, she worked hard for her radiant complexion. In a Vogue beauty demo, Saweetie explained how she struggled with acne growing up.
“When I was like in fifth grade, I had a really bad puberty outbreak,” she says. “I was living with my dad; men don’t really know what to do with skincare, so my dad would just tell me to get, like, a hot rag and put it on my face.”
Today, Saweetie admits to starting her beauty routine by cleaning her face with the Tatcha cleanser, making sure to a towel to avoid ruining her lashes.
Then, she applies Tatcha Violet C Radiance Mask from Tatcha, followed by a bit of Ole Henriksen Toner, and finally, the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum.

Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen

The sun’s rays never discriminate, and while it can be a beautiful source of warmth and light, too much exposure to UV radiation can cause serious harm to our skin. Unfortunately, a common misconception in the Black community is that melanated skin tones don’t require sunscreen, which can lead to a higher prevalence of sun damage and even skin cancer.
In an interview with Byrdie, Saweetie explains the importance of taking care of your skin — and that especially includes wearing sunscreen.
“My mom taught me the importance of taking care of my skin ever since I was a little girl. At a young age, she encouraged me to use sunblock. She explained that sunblock is important because you don’t see sunspots until eight to 10 years later. She taught me the importance of taking my skin now so that I can look good later.”
