Olivia Rodrigo just cut her signature waist-skimming waves. “I feel like a brand new girl,” she tells me over the phone. “I had really long hair while on tour and it was hard to take care of. I wanted to shed the dead ends so I chopped them off. It’s time for new beginnings.”
The chop (which the mega-star follows up with “it is not a bob!”) isn’t just symbolic of a fresh start music-wise—freeing herself from the emotions tied to a 60-city, 20-country world tour!—but also perfectly timed with today’s news: Rodrigo is the new face of French makeup and skincare brand Lancôme.
“I remember rifling through my mom’s makeup bag and seeing Lancôme skincare in there,” the 21-year-old says. “The serum was one of the first things I put on my face, before I really was doing skincare.” These days, she’s partial to L’Absolue Rouge Cream in shade Caprice de Rouge—a slightly deep, firey red—and Idôle Liquid Eyeliner to get the signature look she rocked throughout her Guts Tour. She’s wearing both of these products, plus the Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Foundation in shade 345N, for the new campaign dropping today. “I know it’s weird, but I’m really excited to take a picture of the campaign in the airport. It will be such a wild moment.”
It’s only been three years since Rodrigo’s first (of many) hits “Drivers License” captivated the world, and in the time since she’s released two studio albums, won three Grammys, and been named Time’s “Entertainer of the Year,” just to start. The morning we talk, it’s the day after she’s walked the red carpet for Netflix’s Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour Los Angeles. Throughout it all, she’s working hard to stay grounded.
