OHMYGOSSIP — Anya Taylor-Joy claims baths helped her keep her “sanity” during lockdown.
The ‘Queen’s Gambit’ star has “leaned heavily” on a soak in the tub while isolating at home amid the coronavirus pandemic because she finds them “really comforting” and likes to mix her own oils in with the water to help her relax.
She told Vogue.co.uk: “During lockdown I have leaned heavily on baths. Especially during the first lockdown, baths really helped me keep me sanity.
“My mum taught me how to be quite ritualistic about them and so I tend to squirt in some almond oil and then make my own little blend with essential oils, depending on how I want to feel at that point. So I have been using a lot of sandalwood, lavender and jasmine recently, because I find them all really comforting.”
When it comes to make-up, the 24-year-old actress was thankful to have experts on hand to create her ‘Queen’s Gambit’ character Beth Harmon’s winged eyeliner because she’s so “terrible” at doing it for herself.
She said: “In terms of beauty [applying eyeliner] is the mountain I am always attempting to climb, because I am terrible with make-up myself. I am so lucky that I get to work with such talented make-up artists, but I cannot do an eyeliner flick for the life of me.
“Beth’s eyeliner flick was something that my wonderful make-up artist Daniel [Parker] is a master of, and the end result of the flick was something that was very important to me.
“I knew where I wanted Beth’s to end up and then we had to build into that, but I think [the fact that] my eyes are massive probably helps, because I have more surface area to pass it off.”
But Anya is good at applying lipstick to her “weird” mouth and opts to look like the “Ghost of Christmas Past” during the winter months.
She said: “Two things I can do make-up wise is apply both mascara and lipstick well. My lips are kind of a weird shape and so I’ve had to learn how to do them. But for winter I am a fan of a plummy lip. I have always loved that.
“I have got a bit of an ‘Interview with the Vampire’ aesthetic, and so as soon as it gets dark outside I love long, straight blonde hair and dark purple lips. I am like the Ghost of Christmas Past – a bit vampy – but I like it.”
