Maude Apatow Reveals Struggles with Acne on 'Euphoria'
The actor had to work with the director on lighting during her breakouts.
Euphoria’s breakout star Maude Apatow shared her skin struggles in a recent installment of Vogue’s Beauty Secrets series.
While the actor has picked up a few tips and tricks to help her complexion, that wasn’t always the case as the brunette admits she had to work with show creator Sam Levinson to strategize ways to conceal her acne on camera. Apatow reveals, “I was shooting Euphoria a couple months ago and I got three gigantic zits on my forehead. You couldn’t cover them, they were so big and they stuck out.” She had to tell Levinson to “be careful with the lighting.”
The HBO Max show is known for its iconic makeup looks, but it was the heavier products that triggered skin flare ups as Apatow admits, “When I started working and wearing more makeup, my skin got a lot worse. I needed to come up with a routine.” Apatow shares the two key things she makes sure to do for clear skin, telling Vogue, “the one big thing I learned … is making sure all your makeup comes off at the end of the day,” and while she never believed in not popping pimples, she now knows that if she picks at blemishes, “they travel.” Watch Apatow’s beauty routine below.
