“Never Let Them See You Sweat”: Ever Anderson on Celine Beauté

As the tide of brat summer recedes, internet discourse will inevitably wash up a new trend, perhaps that of the demure woman, or as Celine creative director Hedi Slimane believes, the timeless beauty of feminine ritual. With the forthcoming launch of Celine Beauté, the first cosmetics line in the house’s history, Slimane is celebrating the triomphe of femininity. This autumn, the Maison will expand Celine’s 2019 haute parfumerie collection and introduce “Rouge Triomphe,” a classic red lip, and a set of luxury objects, including bottles, pencils, and cases, in service of all beauty rituals. To mark the occasion, we tapped Celine muse and American actress Ever Anderson to ask her about what makes her feel beautiful, the last person she blocked, and how a girl really can do it all. To which she responded, “Never let them see you sweat.”

———

Where are you?

Not in London or Paris unfortunately.

 How would you describe your social life?

Dismal. I’m kidding I have a few close friends who I hang out with a lot.

What’s your beauty ritual?

I’m a big skincare girlie, I love Korean skincare, but when it comes to makeup I keep it pretty simple. I love using Celine’s rouge 01 lipstick on my lips and cheeks. 

What do you think about when you’re alone?

A lot, that’s why I write so much haha.

Who are your enemies?

Probably mosquitoes! 

What’s your step count?

Thirty thousand when I’m in London but like five thousand in LA which is embarrassing. 

What’s your diet?

I try to eat whole foods and drink lots of water but I always have a sweet treat after dinner. Sometimes I like to make my treats healthier by adding collagen to them. It honestly doesn’t do much but makes me feel better about myself haha. 

What are you invested in?

Well, my work. I actually wrote a screenplay that I’m producing and directing as well as acting in! I’m also invested in my family, reading, and for three months I was really invested in a video game called Baldur’s Gate 3 haha.

What advice do you have?

Probably don’t cut bangs when you’re sad. 

What’s your favorite smell?

I love vanilla. It’s my favorite smell. Sometimes I even dab a little vanilla extract in my hair. 

What makes you feel beautiful?

Honestly, choosing to be kind makes me feel beautiful. I don’t feel beautiful when I snap or when I’m rude. 

What’s your favorite airport?

Charles de Gaulle ’cause it’s pretty to look at and it means I’m in Paris.

Do you save money?

I still live with my parents so yeah, I’m saving up to move to Europe hopefully next year because I’ll be 18 which is crazy to think about. 

What’s your most controversial opinion?

Probably that I put cream before the jam on my scones. It’s the right way to do it. I won’t hear anything else on that.

What more do you need? 

Maybe Birkenstock heels. I also need Bon Iver to drop another album.

What’s in your fridge?

Avocados and strawberry milk. I eat them separately. Also a lot of pickled asparagus it’s so yummelina.

Where do you shop?

I shop at vintage stores most of the time. I’m trying to avoid fast fashion and finding that perfect vintage piece brings a different kind of joy to my life. 

What do you buy?

I buy a lot of matcha. 

How long do you spend in the mirror?

I don’t think I spend a lot of time in the mirror, but sometimes I listen to TikTok audios and pretend I’m in an edit. Don’t judge. 

Who’s the last person you blocked?

I don’t block people haha I can’t be bothered.

What’s your last Google search? 

How to make slime no glue no activator.

What’s your survival tactic? 

Never eat random berries or mushrooms. Also, never let them see you sweat. 

Where are we headed?

To the moon.

What do you really want?

Young Damon Alburn from Blur (kidding) or to be King of the world.
