Maude Apatow on Blush, Euphoria, and Prada Beauty Staples

“I’ve got eight layers of blush on right now,” Maude Apatow tells me from her New York apartment. actor, director, and Who What Wear May Cover Star I just returned Prada Beauty’s weekend pop-up at Gansevoort PlazaIt’s the final stop on the multicity Prada Touch tour, and from the Zoom screen, I can see her drawstring bag and black jacket strewn across the crisp bed – the only evidence of haste in the bright, airy space.

This is only if I’m really getting fancy with it,” she says. Currently, she is wearing Prada Beauty’s Waterlilya bright fuchsia, and tulipSoft baby pink. However, usually, she taps on a bubblegum blush and calls it quits. “I gravitate towards bright pink, but I also love a nice dusty rose or a bronzier, deeper blush,” she says. “I always apply with my fingers. I find I’ve got a lot more control. I start at the apples of my cheeks and then just move upward—but not too much. I’ll try a snatched moment, but it doesn’t look as good as it does when other people do it.”

In terms of colors, she says, “I like dark brown.” “There’s prada dark brown mascara Which I am using. Its About Black. If you have brown eyes, it looks beautiful.”
