Big curls, shimmery eyes, sequined everything: It doesn't get any more high-maintenance than Rayna James, the country music star Connie Britton plays on Nashville. It's not surprising that when the cameras are off, the actress is decidedly less flashy. "I'm low maintenance," says Britton, a new spokeswoman for Pond's. She gave us a glimpse of her "quick and easy" beauty routine and her must-have products—and told us about her biggest beauty mistake.
How is your approach to beauty different than Rayna James's?
"Rayna's way more high maintenance. When I'm doing my own personal care, I like to keep it simple. As an actress, I spend so much time in the hair and makeup chair, and Rayna does that, too. Particularly in Nashville, there's a very specific look. People are very done. It's all so time-consuming. If I don't have to spend hours dealing with makeup, I'm happy."
What's your skin-care routine?
"People have told me to use certain creams and serums, and that's not my style. I'm quick and easy. I've made it a lifelong study: How can I pare this down to the briefest but most effective routine? I like to keep the ingredients simple and try to use something that will really work for everything. Of course, SPF is so important, and that's an absolute no matter what. I remember when the first products started coming out that had SPF in them and they'd give some coverage, too, and I was like, What an idea! Now, we've really mastered that."
What's the one product you reach for before you run out the door?
"If there's one thing, it's usually something that will even out my skin tone, like Pond's Luminous Finish BB+. Or I'll throw on bronzer and mascara and think, OK, I can do this. I'm OK to go out in the world."
What's the best trick you've picked up from a makeup artist on set?
"Moisture, moisture, moisture. My makeup artist on Nashville is all about that. She is constantly wanting to moisturize my skin, and it's also about drinking water all day. The more moisture we have in our skin, the brighter it will look, and wrinkles won't show as much."
Any beauty regrets?
"I recently ran into a picture of myself in high school and I had a perm. That was hilarious. Especially considering how much hair I have. It was so unnecessary! I will never do it again."
So how did you decide to partner with Pond's?
"I was really impressed with Pond's as a whole. I love how historic the brand is, and it has a lot of authenticity and integrity. I was blown away by their Luminous Finish BB+ cream, and was like, 'Let's do it!' I love to wittle down the number of products I use as much as possible, particularly now that I'm a mom. I like having something thing I can use right after the shower that gives a flawless finish and has SPF. I can put it on and get out the door."
