Originally from Nice like the other members of his group Hyphen Hyphen, Santa (whose real name is Samanta Cotta) does not owe her passion for singing to chance. As a child, the Frenchwoman was raised by her mother, a singer in the American group Daisy Duck. Hyphen Hyphen is two excellent albums, two pretty hits “Just need your love” and “Like boys” and a Victoire de la musique in the revelation category in 2016. But this time, the singer of the Nice trio appears alone, naked, the time toa record she wrote, composed, recorded and produced without anyone’s helpon behalf of 999. The reverse of “666”, the numbers of Evil. “999 is to switch to the good side of your neuroses, while 666 would have been to sink”, she says. It’s by the single “Salty Popcorn” that this solitary project started a few months ago. And by the first phrase swaying on the piano : “I could play the fake hero. » Except thatat 28, Santa doesn’t cheat. Tornado that nothing stops with Hyphen Hyphen, this time she dares to show her flaws. The proof through her beauty routine…
1. Sa routine skincare
“I’m going to answer the most honestly, I don’t really have a skincare routine… I try to remove my make-up well in the evening and cleanse my face with Bioderma Micellar Water, and if I have a moisturizer, it’s is bonus! So in the morning, since of course I took my make-up off badly the day before, remove the excess mascara under my eyes, rub again and again until I realize that these are in fact… my dark circles. »
2. Her body treatment
“My skin is extremely fragile and hasn’t changed since the baby stage. So I moisturize with a Rivadouce baby cream and attention info which is accompanied by quality mental imagery: I put talc. »
3. Her lips and hands care
“Sexy or not sexy, I use Vaseline. Your lips will thank me. »
4. Her favorite perfume
“I’ve been wearing Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf ever since I started wearing perfume. In summer, I give it a little twist by mixing it with an orange blossom eau de parfum by Fragonard. »
5. Her hair ritual
“I have super curly hair and of course it doesn’t suit me. To all the “oh no but I would like to see too much”, believe me, I spare you! So I started by straightening my hair every day since I discovered straighteners! But it damaged my hair so much, recently I do Brazilian smoothing and it’s a real game changer. Otherwise I use any brand of shampoo as long as it’s sulfate free. (In relation to Bésilien smoothing, you have to follow up, huh!). On the color side, I used to color my hair white in high school but for 6 years I stopped and I keep my color completely natural. As my hair lightens in the sun, it gives me a brown gradient at the roots, to white blond at the tip. My SOS treatment? Pure Monoi, but I take your tips! »
6. Her beauty obsession
“Eyebrows, I would love to have Frida Kahlo’s eyebrows…”
7. Ses envies make up
“Right now I want to have fun and transformations and I have the chance to express myself in two artistic projects. My band Hyphen Hyphen, more rock, with which I wear two big war lines on my cheeks and smokier eyes. And my solo project where I can be very natural glossy as well as extravagant Gaga. For a perfect complexion: review the foundations: Chanel. Concealer: essential for writing songs at night but being fresh during the day: I mix Dior and Chanel for the points of light. “You look good!” I am told, but in real life, it is Terracotta Guerlain. I have a golden rule in the form of advice: boosting your self-confidence is the best glow. As for mascara: I change it all the time, I haven’t had a stable relationship yet. And for a pursed lip effect, I use Chanel lipstick, simply red. »
8. Her fitness tips
“When the world around seems heavy, I do weightlifting (really). But I just discovered an incredible sport: spikeball. Your butt won’t thank me…”
9. His diet
” Most of the time, I am fully vegan, but veg at the restaurant and pizza snacks. And my anti-stress thing: the sea.”
10. His rant
“Just one?” If I had to stay in the beauty and fashion mood: I know that the pictures are more readable but let’s not tend towards the tyranny of caricatures… »
