Here's Everything Zanna Roberts Rassi Put On Her Face And Hair In A Day


Zanna Roberts Rassi wears a lot of hats, to include E! News Style Correspondent, Co-founder of Milk Makeup, mom and wife. There's no real typical day when you have that much going on: People's Choice and Oscars red carpets, makeup demo's, running with little people, and so on. But what is pretty consistent is a boss's skin and makeup routine. Whether you're cramming your way through school, sitting at a desk reading and replying to endless emails, running a company, or running a household, there are certain products that you just can't live without. (And if there aren't, we really gotta make "me time" our resolution this year, sis!) We wanted to know what Zanna Roberts Rassi's favorite products were, so we asked her to journal every single thing she put on her face and hair during one of her very busy days ... that just so happened to be during New York Fashion Week!


"Straight off a red eye into an intense day of hosting a NYFW panel, celeb interviews and covering all the fashion shows for E! News."

"The Goal? Rehydrating and reviving my dull skin! Serious depuffing required with Milk Makeup Cooling Water Eye Patches (wishing I hadn’t drunk the red wine on the plane!). Hydrate with rapid at-home heated salon-style facial with Foreo UFO (magic!). Brighten skin with my favorite Milk Makeup Watermelon Serum. For long lasting moisture, finish skin with my live or die moisturizer, Eve Lom Radiance Lift Cream."

"Hair: Straight and glossy Donatella-like locks. Makeup: bronze golden highlights that don’t look overdone in person, but enough coverage for on camera!"

"Hair Mask in shower. Christophe Robin Cleansing Mask with Lemon leaves my hair literally like shiny silk, which it absolutely is NOT! Christophe Robin Rosewater leave-in spray smells delicious and protects my terribly porous hair! Polish away any flyaways with OUAI Finishing Creme."

"Milk Makeup Highlighter in Lit. I use it under the base, cheating that lit from
within glow. Milk Makeup Up Sunshine Skin Tint SPF 30 in Honey (a must even in the winter). Matte Bronzer stick in Baked, which is the perfect contour for cheeks, the chest and limbs too when pasty! Milk Makeup Kush Fiber Brow Gel, made of hemp derived cannabis oil. I over-plucked them in the 90’s! A few additional lashes for on camera flutter. Ardell individuals make the world of a difference to tired eyes. Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Luxury Palette for insta glam to the eyes. Lips: Milk Makeup Ww Tang collab! One layer of the shade Cypher is the perfect flush, and add another for added drama. I like mine with a top coat of Kush Lip Glaze — my new favorite addition to my lipgloss addiction!"

How My Toxic Grandmother Made Me Question My Self-Worth


I was six-years-old, staring at my father's mother's reflection in the bathroom mirror as she applied her signature red lip with expert precision. She looked perfect. “Always put makeup on, Nanee,” Nana instructed me. “You never know who you’re going to meet.”

Throughout my childhood into my early twenties, I adopted both her love for face masks, lipstick, and headwraps, and her warped standards of beauty: a thin waist, long legs, and light skin. Nana was Brazilian and Cape Verdean, so a black a woman for all intents and purposes. However, she identified more with her colonizers. Every discussion we've ever had about our roots always ended with her saying "We are Portuguese," which was her way of separating us from our blackness. This is a common thread among some older generations of the black diaspora because the closer in proximity you are to whiteness, the more privileges you are granted in society.

Growing up, she had a lot to say about my appearance. I have a vivid memory from 2012 when I’d just walked into my aunt’s house. Nana greeted me, not with a “hello” or sentimental greeting, but with a very matter-of-fact “You look tired.” She pointed out the puffy bags underneath my eyes, advising me to either get more rest or put some ice on them. Now, every time I look in the mirror, I apply concealer even if I don’t need it. The hundreds of dollars I’ve spent on just the right shade of concealer is embarrassing. Two decades later her words still creep into my head, even when I'm arching my wing with such sharpness it looks like it might actually fly.

If it wasn’t my makeup, it was the shape of my body and how I navigated in it. "You know when I was 17 I was never really fat. I had an athletic body type," she said. She was overweight when she was young, but not to an “unacceptable” extent. My grandmother was sporty and wanted me to know this, hoping it would motivate me to be more active and lose weight. One Christmas she actually bought me a bootleg Wii game that simulated working out. "It's going to save your life, Nanee," she told me.

When I finally perfected the art of contour and invested in outfits that flattered my thick thighs and décolletage, I still preferred a quick, fresh-face beat and a sturdy pair of jeans for day to day. Only recently did I stop hiding behind a full face of makeup during our bi-annual Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve visits (any more time and I would surely lose my mind). That annoyed Nana like no other.

That desperate need I had to mask any physical imperfections behind caked on cosmetics before seeing my own grandmother is actually quite jarring, especially considering that I'm a pretty confident and self-assured woman any other time. I’ve always known I was beautiful, and I’ve never doubted that fact, but I also valued Nana’s opinions. It went beyond makeup and fashion to the conscious shrinking of my very expansive essence to make her feel comfortable. To prepare myself for the inevitable twice-a-year visit, I would have to box up the pieces of myself that made me, me just so she wouldn’t try to pull them from me. Laughs would be stifled in her household just so she would be able to express her problematic ideals. My mother, a dark-skinned woman, would usually be the point of contention. She was, and still is, her arch enemy while I am her foil. So many of the problems between Nana and I always came back to one central point: my mother and how she walks proudly and unabashedly in her blackness. Nana was never a fan of how mom asserted herself and stood firmly in how beauty radiates from the soul. Mom would teach her children the joys of black beauty and emphasize her points with the teachings of Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison, while Nana still can't comprehend why being black is something to covet, not shame. Two years ago Nana and I got into a screaming match because she had the audacity to discuss my mother in a disrespectful matter in front of my sister and me. I haven't stepped foot in her house or spoken a word to her since.

If I wanted to be positive I could say her nitpicking was her warped version of love. And if I wanted to be Freudian I’d say she has deep-seated insecurities she wound up projecting onto me since I look exactly like her. I’m not kidding; I’m a carbon copy. From the wide hips to the hourglass figure, high cheekbones and skin tone, we are mirrors of each other. But what I most often think about is how she uses me as an empty vessel of things she would tell her younger self if she had the chance. Nana, I believe, overcompensated on the things she could control (her weight, makeup, and style of dress), and drew attention to her "favorable" Eurocentric features like her straight nose, pronounced cupid's bow, and even her long, thin legs. This was her way to make up for not having light skin like her sisters. "My mother always told me she drank a lot of coffee when she had me, and that's why I came out so brown," Nana told me once. She was relieved my sister and I didn’t get as dark as my mother, and when I was born she tried to explain away my dark skin tone, saying I needed time for my "mixed blood" to settle. That was after she told my parents I didn't resemble her or her family.

Because of her skewed views, it took me a long time to embrace all of my culture. I even put off learning Portuguese because every time I got close to exploring the other parts of my identity, it felt like I was erasing my blackness. And I know that may seem silly, but years of Nana projecting self-hate of her own blackness has made me obsessive about holding onto mine. It’s taken years to unlearn the colorism I carried and how to adopt radical self-love to combat insecurities that pop up now and again. I had a conversation with my mother about adulthood and she said one of the best parts about it is figuring out what lessons from your elders you should keep and what lessons you should throw away. I've finally decided that those warped beauty standards are parts of my puzzle that are better off left in the box, and my next step is to live peacefully in my blackness as well as my Latinx roots, equally and proudly.

26 Cocktail Dresses You Can Get On Amazon That People Actually Swear By

7 Game-Changing Beauty Products We're Currently Obsessing Over


Aqua Bomb moisturizer is easily my desert island skincare product. Although I have dry-leaning combination skin, I hate most moisturizers because creamy formulas feel heavy and just yucky to me, especially under makeup. Aqua Bomb's gel-like consistency absorbs like a dream. It's soothing to stressed out skin in the winter and cooling through the heat of summer. I recommend it to friends of all skin types because it gives your skin that bouncy hydration it craves without feeling oily in the slightest. I've put it on every night and most mornings for years and have no plans of stopping anytime soon! —Rachel Dunkel

This winter has been unusually brutal for my skin, especially for my T-zone. My forehead, nose, and chin are constantly peeling and there are days when I seriously feel like I’m shedding out of my own skin. I tried doubling up on moisturizing and hydrating masks, but nothing was keeping my face from peeling throughout the day. I’d put my makeup on and by midday the flakes were back.



I finally asked my coworkers for some recommendations and per their direction decided to give this Belif True Cream Aqua Bomb a shot. It’s on the pricier side, but given that my cheaper moisturizers weren’t doing the trick, I figured it would be the worth the splurge. Well thank heavens I WAS RIGHT. This baby right here is a long-lasting moisturizer that makes my thirsty skin feel like it was dunked in a cooling bath of rich water concocted by the gods themselves. And then — yeah, I am not done yet — it dries, and leaves behind the most refreshing, cooling sensation. To top it all off, the flakes are gone. I use it before makeup application and before bed, and just like that, my face has stopped peeling, even on the coldest days. I could go on and on about this, but I’ll wrap this up with a good ol’: BUY THIS, YOU WON’T REGRET IT. —Kayla Suazo

Get it from Sephora for $22+ (available in mini and full sizes).

32 Sexy Undergarments That Are Actually Comfortable

25 Skincare Products That'll Give You Dramatic Before And After Photos


This is another favorite for my sensitive skin. This is literally the only moisturizer out of all the ones I've tried — and I've tried a lot — that doesn't leave my skin burning or tingling after applying. Oh, and also, it has seriously cleared my skin, win/win. For real, I've been dealing with super dry skin since the weather started getting colder in the fall. I've always had sensitive skin, but this year, my skin was feeling EXTRA sensitive, and even simple things like applying makeup was burning my skin. This stuff has helped tremendously. It moisturizes my skin gently, doesn't burn like so many other expensive/name-brand moisturizers I've tried, and has also helped clear-up my breakouts, which was a very unexpected, but highly welcomed surprise! This stuff is free of fragrance and oil, is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and non-irritating.

Promising review: "If you are doubting this product, stop what you are doing and buy it right now. It WILL change your life. I had SEVERE eczema on my face and it was incredibly painful: I had red, inflamed, itchy, flaky, and disgusting skin. I tried everything, from organic to high-priced products, and nothing worked until I picked up a $2 sample of this at Walgreens after reading the reviews online. Well, it is a miracle product. My face feels amazing. I use it twice daily, and my eczema is gone. It has also diminished my acne breakouts by 98%. I also want to add that I didn't get anything for free or was asked to do this review, I just honestly needed to share my experience." —Susana Rodriguez

Get it from Amazon for $15.06.

Amber Liu, K-Pop Star Turned Solo Artist, Is Finding Her Style Through Playing Dress Up


Even just looking at her Instagram, it's clear that Amber has playing around with more color and experimenting with different prints and textures throughout the past few years. To that she said, "I think I’m going pretty out of my comfort zone and I’m learning to be ok with it. It’s still something I’m not 100% confident about." Relatable AF.

She also credits her close friend (and model/entrepreneur) Irene Kim with giving her "the confidence to take chances" helping her "find that balance" between traditionally masculine and feminine styles: "She'd be like, 'Babe, you don’t have to dress all girly, it’s fine. I know you. Just try it on and see how it works.' She didn’t even really change me, but she just took the things I had and gave me more things to think about as I’m putting outfits together. Irene would tell me that she would dress up in clothes when she was little, so I was like, 'I should just think of it as dress-up.'"

But in her earlier years, going from LA to Seoul — a very fashionable city — was her first style shock. She said, "I definitely went through this whole phase of seeing what my seniors or friends would be wearing and just copying that. I went through a colorful phase with loud patterns and a lot of graphic tees, debuted, had that style for a year or two, and then I had a phase of 'Screw all of that, I’m going back to the basics. Solid tee, solid colors, and maybe a nice outer piece.' And then I went back to the loud phase. It’s been going back and forth for a while now, and all the clothes I buy — when I want to reset my closet — I give them to my friends or donate them."
