Pia Whitesell, the former Home and Away actress, has revealed her everyday beauty routine, blending high-end products with budget-friendly options available at popular retailers.
Budget Beauty Picks
Among her go-to items is the e.l.f. Cosmetics Primer-Infused Matte Blush, priced at $14 and sold at Kmart. She also favors the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, available at Big W for $14.95.
For her skincare base, Pia uses Olay Regenerist Super Collagen Peptides Soft Moisturiser, found at Coles and Woolworths, currently on sale for $35 at the latter.
Luxury Additions to Her Kit
Pia incorporates premium products like the MAC Eye Kohl Crayon at $41 and MAC eyelash curler for $44. Other favorites include Too Faced Born This Way Soft Blur Setting Powder ($69), Huda Beauty Easy Bake Setting Spray ($55), Huda Beauty Lip Contour Stain ($45), and Violette_FR Bisou Balm ($50).
Top Beauty Tips
Pia shared her essential advice: ‘sleep, sweat and lymphatic drainage.’ She achieves lymphatic drainage using a fascia blaster, often in a sauna. This stick-shaped device massages the skin to repair connective tissue, reduce cellulite appearance, and promote fluid movement through lymph nodes, aiding in toxin removal and reducing swelling.
Blended Family Life
The 42-year-old Chilean-born star, now based in Los Angeles, enjoys family life with husband Patrick Whitesell, whom she married in 2021. As a stepmother to his children Evan, 19, and Ella, 17—from his previous marriage to Lauren Sanchez—she cherishes their bond.
Pia, mother to sons Isaiah, 22, and Lennox, 19, from prior relationships, stated, ‘For me, it’s honestly the best, most heartwarming thing to see the blending of four teenagers who were strangers just a few years ago. We sit around the table every night, enjoying each other’s company, having a laugh as we share our stories. We spent Thanksgiving together; how lucky are we to have all found each other?’
