The 25-year-old actress said she learned how to apply makeup through trial and error. Unlike her mother’s experience looking for the right shade, Chandran feels grateful to have such a wide range of options to choose from. “Makeup isn’t about hiding things you don’t like about your skin; it’s enhancing what you already have. ”

For her, it will be a therapy. “In an ideal world, everyone should have access to therapy,” she added. And while it may be surprising that the role has received global scrutiny, Chandran says being on the show has eased her insecurities. “[It] was mainly because I realized that if Shonda Rhimes and Netflix don’t see my skin, body, and face as obstructions, then clearly not,” she said. And with just a swipe of a trio of long-wearing lipsticks and a little bit of TikTok’s favorite Maybelline mascara, her fabulous nighttime look is complete.
