What’s currently in your bag that makes it clear, “This belongs to Chanté?”
A lot of brightly colored liquid liner. So much. I’m having fun exploring colorful makeup, and I love painting. So this discovery of using colorful liquid eyeliner has been really expressive and fun for me.
Are you also doing a bold lip to match?
Actually, I’ve just been using tinted lip balm and having fun playing with just a subtle color, not like a—Bam, I'm here! Especially because my eyes are so pop-y now, everything else has got to be a little bit more subdued to make those even stronger.
Have you always been super into makeup?
Honestly, not particularly, because I've not really used makeup a lot in my life. I've gone with almost no makeup ever—maybe a tiny bit of foundation, like a tiny, tiny bit. And these last few months have been a whole revelation for me of like, “Oh, I can play. I can make my appearance any way I want it to be.” Right now, it’s the liquid eyeliner, but I think this is just the first frontier of a whole new world for me.
So what do you end up bringing? A salad! I like a butter leaf salad with pomegranate seeds and some roasted squash. We’ve got a family recipe for a homemade dressing that is, honestly, deadly. You would love it; everyone loves it. And I can't tell you the ingredients, because it's a family secret.
