I love having boyish elements to my wardrobe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-segment\">\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The rest of the styling followed that same instinct\u2014including what she described as \u201csome revealing\u201d chest\u2014which meant her hair had a job to do. \u201cI wanted some long extensions that were edgy and sharp but also would block some of my side boob.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The look was new territory for Lawless, but her approach to taking it all off is well practiced.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"on-set-essentials\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\"><strong class=\"font-semibold\">On-Set Essentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Of course, we had to ask what got a full face of makeup (and blood) off after a long day filming the breakout hit <em class=\"italic\">Obsession,<\/em> and Lawless didn\u2019t hesitate to share the secret: It\u2019s a balm cleanser, rather than a wipe. \u201cI\u2019m actually a big fan of the e.l.f. Cosmetics Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm ($12),\u201d she said. \u201cI love a balm in general. The Clinique one is good, too. When I take off makeup that way, I actually enjoy it. I feel like pulling everything out, and it gets rid of everything so seamlessly. Waterproof mascara, it comes off with a balm.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"self-care-wishes\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\"><strong class=\"font-semibold\">Self-Care Wishes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">As for pre-show pampering, Lawless kept it honest: There wasn\u2019t much time for it, although she wished there had been. \u201cI love massages,\u201d she said. \u201cI didn\u2019t get one because I\u2019ve been busy, but I would have loved to get a massage or a lymphatic drainage massage. I\u2019ve actually never done that, but I wanted to do that for this. I just didn\u2019t have the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Massage or not, Lawless arrived with a look\u2014and an attitude\u2014that suggested she didn\u2019t need the extra hour in a chair to make an impression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2026 VMAs red carpet brought out no shortage of sta [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3197,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3196"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3196"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3196\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
