A New Exhibition Shows That Barkley L. Hendricks Was Never Simply a Painter

My morning routine depends on how much time I have. Lately I’ve become a huge fan of using gadgets like the Red Light Face Mask from HigherDose while I’m still in bed in the morning. Or I do that old-fashioned trick of dunking your face in ice water. A male co-star of mine would do it and I got into doing it too. I’m into pre-cleansing. I love rose and I’ve been using this Best Skin Ever Rose oil cleanser. Osea makes a couple of cleansers that I rotate between — there’s the Ocean Cleanser that’s milky and the Ocean Cleansing Mudd that I use at night after wearing makeup. I like when I can feel a product doing stuff, and the latter has a cooling effect that feels like it’s activating your pores.

On a normal day I don’t wear much on my eyes, just a wash of color from the Armani Beauty Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow in a gold hue. They make an orangy metallic one that I’ve worn at night, too.

My hair routine has changed recently because I’ve been dying it more. When curly hair is damaged, bits of it will go straight and lose texture. For that, K-18 Molecular Repair Hair Mask has been a lifesaver. I don’t like to leave the house with wet hair but I’ll use that as a styling product and let it air dry. It’s like my hair is getting a treatment all day. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and the city’s Korean spas, in particular Olympic Spa, changed my approach to beauty and self-care. They really believe in body scrubs. If I can’t make it to the spa, I’ll do it at home using…
