Nicola Peltz Beckham Just Taught Me Her Genius
Within the first two minutes of interviewing her, I can tell that Nicola Peltz Beckham is a girl's girl. She admits to experiencing the same beauty icks we all do (like white, pilling sunscreen) and refuses to gatekeep by telling me about her favorite makeup products of the moment. As a multi-hyphenate millennial (she's an actor, writer, director, and activist), her beauty routine must keep up with her schedule—not the other way around.
When it comes to skincare, she relies on a few effective products, the most important being sunscreen. She's super diligent about applying daily SPF, so it makes sense that she's partnered with Isdin, the Spanish skincare brand known for its foolproof formulas, to help launch the newest SPF in its portfolio—the Fusion Water Magic SPF 40. I caught up with Peltz Beckham to talk about the partnership, her genius "tap and stamp" winged-liner trick, and more. Ahead, Peltz Beckham answers all of my burning beauty questions.
ISDIN
Fusion Water Magic SPF40
First, let's talk about the new sunscreen. (It's Peltz Beckham's current fave.) It provides 360-degree skin protection from UVA, UVB, infrared, and blue light. It also protects against environmental pollution and free radical damage from heat. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid, Mediterranean algae extract, and physalis pubescens, so it's lightweight and hydrating. Plus, it doesn't leave a white cast.
Type: Chemical | Texture: Serum | SPF: Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 | Size: 1.7 ounces
Isdin is a brand that a lot of beauty editors and content creators love. What drew you to it?
I grew up with a mom being like, "Sunblock is the most important thing you will ever do for health and to prevent aging." I really love watching TikTok videos. I love watching what girls use and their products and all the different sunblocks out there, and I really love this one. I love it so much because it almost acts as a primer underneath makeup. It's really pretty under makeup.
Sometimes, it's scary to put new products on before you have a shoot outside or whatever, but it's so important to protect your skin. I feel safe using this one, and I know my makeup is going to look great, and it's gonna protect my skin at the same time.
As a beauty editor, I can't tell you how many times sunscreen has messed up my makeup either by pilling or leaving a white cast.
Yeah, no, totally. I feel like a lot of sunblocks have that white cast, and it doesn't go into your skin. It sits on top, and then when you attempt to put on makeup, it does pill, or it does have that weird texture on top. If you don't have perfectly smooth skin, then it'll make that stand out more. If I have a breakout, I definitely don't want to bring more attention to that.
