Danielle Vasinova Shares Her Thoughts on ‘The Madison,’ Natural Beauty, and Finding Balance with Red-Light Therapy
Danielle Vasinova is making a notable return to television with her role in The Madison, a highly anticipated expansion of Taylor Sheridan’s acclaimed Yellowstone universe, which debuted on March 14 on Paramount+. Vasinova portrays Kestrel Harris, an Indigenous woman navigating life in Montana, with upcoming episodes promising to intensify her character’s journey. Previously featured in 1923, Vasinova combines her on-screen talent with versatility as both a model and skilled equestrian.
Reflecting on her new role, Vasinova expressed her excitement, stating, "It’s incredible. I started off in 1923, and then I really did not even think it was possible to book two shows within a short period of time. This is a really special and unique show because it’s told from the point of view of a matriarch rather than a patriarch. It’s very much for the girls."
The actress emphasizes a more minimalist approach to beauty in her latest projects. "Less is more, girl. Less is more, 100 percent! In this show and in life, really. When we are young, we want to put on all the makeup and all the hair and all the things, and this is really stripped down—I love that. In 1923, I was only allowed to wear dirt. I would literally wear zero makeup. On this show, they let me wear a little bit, but it’s very natural.”
Vasinova also shared her enthusiasm for natural skincare products. She mentioned ARCONA, a brand that stands out for its natural ingredients and effective cold-compression process: "Their stuff is all-natural. It’s really good. They cold-compress everything, so everything is really active. You can feel it working on your skin. It feels really potent, even though it’s all completely natural. And it works! I love Arcona."
Another brand she loves is Young Goose, which she describes as her "latest obsession." She noted, "Their serum is amazing. Their moisturizer is really lightweight and ultra-hydrating. It doesn’t leave any film. You can just feel it absorbing into your skin. It’s really lovely."
On her evening routine, Vasinova emphasized the importance of skincare and relaxation: "I always wash my makeup off before bed. I’m a very simple person. Like I said, less is more. But I always wash my face. I like this new red light therapy. It’s a mask from Joovv. I’ll put that on my face. I’ll keep it in the car and wear it while driving home. [Laughs] Hopefully nobody’s looking at me in the car."
She underscored a philosophy of positivity and self-trust: "In terms of life…I am very much an overthinker. If you think about all the things that could go wrong, what about thinking about all the things that could go right? It’s like that old adage, ‘Let go and let God.’ Just put the good mojo out there. Just be. You don’t need to stress about things too much. You don’t need to overthink. Just trust the process. Hold the vision. Trust the process and release and let go."
