![]() As far as makeup goes, at night after being holed up in the car all day, I just got dressed up-as a lot of us are doing during quarantine. ![]() I got really into working with film over that trip, and I kind of photographed my way across the country, which was fun. I also made the intention to have a bunch of disposable cameras on me. I definitely brought my watercolor, sketchbook, and ink. What were your handful of creative essentials-both for art-making and makeup? You spent a lot of the past year on the road: buying a truck, driving cross-country, spending time in North Carolina. I think little old me would have a blast pairing up designs with the eyeliners and then throwing on a different color of mascara-taking a color-blocky approach. They also have several colors of the Kajal InkArtist eyeliner and multicolored mascaras. I think I was stealing whatever my sister had at the time, so definitely that eyeliner. I don't think younger me completely understood that. I would love to give the younger me the possibility of exploring makeup in the way that I'm able to do now-just because it's freeing in a lot of senses, to feel like you have that autonomy over your face. How would your high school self have felt in these makeup looks? With Jules being younger than you and less settled in herself, it's almost like you're rewinding in some way.

It was just four years ago that Schafer, then a 17-year-old trans student at a North Carolina arts high school, served as a plaintiff against the state, seeking to overturn its discriminatory bathroom bill. The sense that the rising generation can grapple with a complex reality and do it with style might have felt familiar to fans of HBO’s darkly glamorous teen drama Euphoria, headlined by Zendaya and Schafer. As much as the occasion belonged to septuagenarian Joe Biden, young leaders shared the spotlight: poet Amanda Gorman, transfixing the crowd Ella Emhoff, wooing the fashion cognoscenti Greta Thunberg, with her skewering tweet. It was the eve of Inauguration Day, and change was afoot. After months where normal life seemingly went up in flames, the diaphanous look (courtesy of her newfound stylist, Law Roach) felt like the visual antithesis: a fresh gust of wind. “It’s a vibe,” the actor laughed over Zoom earlier this week, referring to the white fabric plumes levitating off her shoulders.
