E!: Let's walk through your makeup removal routine.PW: Taking my makeup off is a whole vibe! After a full day on the red carpet, filming, or brunch with the girls, I have to give my skin some love. That’s my wind-down moment. Candle lit, glam off, and skin breathing—it’s self-care with a side of fabulous.

1. "I start with the ALMAY Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover Pads because they get everything off my eyes without tugging."

2. "Then, I go in with the ALMAY Micellar Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. It’s like wiping the whole day off."

3. "To finish, I use the ALMAY Moisturizing Makeup Remover and Cleanser. It’s so creamy and hydrating, it feels like a mini facial."

"First of all, they don’t just wipe— they work. I’ve tried wipes before that leave behind residue or make my skin feel tight, no thank you! These ALMAY ones are gentle, and they leave my skin feeling clean, not stripped."

E!: Your makeup always stays flawless. Are there any go-to products that help you lock in that look? PW: To lock in my look, especially while filming or during a hot Atlanta day, I like to use the One/Size setting spray.

"I use a lavender scrub, which is very relaxing."

"The number one beauty rule that I follow is that you have to use a different eye moisturizer, especially as you age. You have to treat the area around your eyes separately and care for it just as much, if not more than the rest of your face. Doing so helps your makeup go on smoother and fights against wrinkles."

E!: Cancers are known for being nurturing and all about comfort—how does that show up in your beauty routine?PW: When I want to get cozy, you know I jump right under my Pampered By Porsha sheets.

E!: If you have a pimple, what product is your go-to solution? PW: When I do get the occasional spot, ALMAY Clear Complexion products and of course, their makeup removers help it heal quickly.

E!: Are there any whitening or dental products you swear by for a bright smile?PW: I’ve been using fluoride-free toothpaste for a very long time, and honestly, I keep my smile bright and white by staying consistent with my dental hygiene.

Porsha previously shared, "When you peel it off, your skin will look so glowy and absolutely beautiful. It's imperative when you wear lots of makeup, or even if you're not a makeup wearer, that you clean your pores. This will unclog your pores so you don't have blackheads and things like that."

E!: What’s the first Almay product that got you hooked on the brand? PW: Definitely the ALMAY Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover Pads! I tried them at a shoot when I had to switch looks quickly, and I was shook at how easily they took off my eye makeup. I’ve been hooked ever since. They’re so effective but still super gentle. It was love at first swipe!

E!: Let's talk about your role as the Chief Evening Officer for ALMAY.PW: Being one of ALMAY’s new “CEOs”—Chief Evening Officer—is such a fun title, and it fits me perfectly. I live for a glam moment, but I also know the importance of letting your skin breathe at the end of the day.

My job is all about celebrating that wind-down ritual, the moment when you take off the lashes, the foundation, and just let your natural beauty shine.

I’m showing everyone that glam doesn’t stop at the makeup, it’s how you care for your skin afterward, too. And with ALMAY, taking it all off feels just as fabulous as putting it on.
