Nadine Bhabha’s Down-to-Earth Take on Beauty: From Rivalry to Refreshing Under-Eye Hydration
Nadine Bhabha is rapidly emerging as one of Hollywood’s most compelling multi-talents, captivating audiences with her performance in HBO Max’s hit series Heated Rivalry. Both on-screen and off, Bhabha showcases a unique blend of talent as an actress and writer, contributing to Roku’s Children Ruin Everything and the upcoming comedy Slo Pitch, which stars Schitt’s Creek alum Emily Hampshire. In a recent interview, she shared insights about her creative journey and the cultural influences that shape her work.
“I grew up in Toronto and had access to a myriad of cultural influences. I was not afraid to experiment, and that lack of rigidity as a young person has created the style I have now,” Bhabha explained, highlighting her diverse upbringing as a key factor in her artistic development.
Addressing industry stereotypes, she noted, “No, I think the boxes we voluntarily put ourselves in are only to our detriment! Writers and producers should feel the freedom to express themselves as much as actors do. We have ideas, especially around women, that if someone cares about fashion or their appearance, it somehow reflects on their intellect. These things are not mutually exclusive.”
Bhabha also shared her skincare regimen, emphasizing the importance of hydration. “A thick moisturizer and sunscreen!” she advised. She praised the talented makeup teams on her shows, stating, “They are masters at the no-makeup-makeup look.”
Regarding her skincare routine in differing climates, she noted, “Toronto winters can be a bit harsh, so I tend to use more moisturizer than during the summer months. But otherwise, same thing, maybe a second application of sunscreen while in LA!”
In an effort to unwind, Bhabha has been enjoying regular facial treatments, stating, “I’m loving that for an hour of downtime. I love a walk/hike in the sun, maybe a swim!” She also highlighted a particular product, saying, “I’m loving an under-eye patch to get a bit more moisture under there. Eyes are the windows, and we gotta keep our windows hydrated!”
