BYRDIE: How did your love for beauty first manifest?

HANA MAE LEE: My mom had her own beauty and hair salon for 25 years. So I grew in it. My mom permed my hair when I was 2 because people kept telling her she had a “handsome son.” She was like, “No! She’s a girl!” So I pretty much had an afro. I don’t know how it would make me look more like a girl to have a perm. But that happened. Then starting in like the fifth grade, my mom would yell at me for wearing CoverGirl compact powder on my face. I would put on so much. I had a Nestlé Crunch bar forehead, you know, the little pimples. So I would just powder my face so much, and I’d wear the darkest maroon lipstick with brown lip liner. It was bad. But I just loved makeup.

When I was 14, I was a Sebastian Trucco makeup model, and at 15, I started doing makeup professionally. One of my first jobs was working at Macy’s doing makeovers at Estée Lauder and Clinique. Then I started with this photographer named Bonnie Holland. She hooked me up with this manager at the time who was looking for a stylist and a glamour person. So that’s what I did.

I studied fashion design at Otis College of Art and Design, and after that, I did makeup professionally for a long time. I only retired recently because it just became too much to do other people’s makeup and acting, writing, and producing. But for this press junket and promotion for Pitch Perfect 3, I decided to dust off my kit. I have my own huge makeup kit because I’m allergic to a lot of products; plus, I just know what my best colors are. I’m very specific. So I travel with this giant makeup bag and brushes. During press in New York and Miami, I’ve been doing all the makeup on my own and posting it on my Instagram—the looks, the products I use. It’s been really fun because I hadn’t done that in a while. I’d just been relying on other makeup artists. But I’m very detail oriented. I’m always like, Oh, you’ve got to aim that cat eye a little higher or else my face will look wide.

BYRDIE: Do you have any tips for how people can easily match their makeup to their facial structure? Sometimes I find myself just piling it on and hoping for the best.

HANA MAE LEE: Oh, absolutely. It’s funny, my favorite face is an egg, oval-shaped face because it is the complete opposite of mine. But with every face, there’s definitely a specific haircut, a specific way to do your eyeliner, a way to paint your lips that will be the most flattering. I think where a lot of women go wrong is that they look at their face and think, My eyes are too wide, or Why do I look like this? They don’t see that each part of their face is really just an object that they can contort or tweak if they want to. As an artist, that’s how I see the face. The eyes, the lips, the nose, the mouth—they’re all objects, different blank canvases, and you can choose which features to accentuate for that day or look, which to divert, which to soften.

For me, I have really round eyes, instead of almond Asian eyes. But I love that Asian cat eye, so I’m always doing liner with a flare that’s higher instead of straight across, which kind of accentuates the almond shape. For bigger eyes that aren’t too wide set, you just do a little bit of eye shadow on the outer part of the eye. You don’t do one uniform shadow all over the whole eye; you just do the edges, and that brings out the eyes more.

But no matter what your face shape, make sure to curl your lashes and put on a good mascara. That’s all you need, especially if you’re going for a natural look. Forget the eyeliner. Just curl your lashes, add mascara (my go-to mascaras are Maybelline because they stay on all day and keep the form of the curl), if you have an oily face make sure you blot that, and add a tinted Burt’s Bees.

BYRDIE: I’d love to hear more about how you keep your skin so clear. Favorite products and habits?

HANA MAE LEE: For about a year and a half now, I’ve been using this skincare called Specific Beauty. I’m one of their spokespeople, but I’m also one of those people who really wants to try a product before backing it up and committing to it. I don’t want to false advertise, especially for something like the skin, which is so important to me. So I’ve been using their products for a year and a half, and the color of my skin has become so much more even-toned. We Asian people, and other people of color, we don’t get a lot of wrinkles, but we get a lot of discoloration. So this smooths a lot of that out. Asian skin is very sensitive as well, but these products were formulated by a Korean scientist, and they use a lot of different ingredients from most American products. It’s like Korean formulas in an American package. I use their wash, moisturizer, and dark-spot pads.

My other big secret is that I do acupuncture on my face, and it totally smooths out my pores and lifts everything up. It’s like a mini face-lift. It’s painful but wonderful. For that, I go to a place called Dr. Lim Acupuncture on Robertson and Beverly in LA. He’s amazing. I first went to him because I had back and neck pains and stomach/spleen issues, and of course, it’s been helping with those. But I just asked, “Do you do acupuncture face-lifts? Does that even exist?” And he was like, “Yeah, I have regular clients who do that.” So I tried it. And once you get it, for a week and a half, your face changes. Your skin becomes smoother, so your makeup goes on way better. Your pores get smaller. And your drooping face starts to lift. It’s the most amazing thing ever. I’ve done the Kate Somerville muscle stimulant massages, but they only last like two days before everything falls back to wherever it was before. But with acupuncture, you wake up and your face is better every day. It also helps stimulate whatever products you’re using. I got it last week, and I’m touching my face now. I’ve been on a plane and so tired, but my skin is so soft. So I do that religiously.
