Sadie Sink talks scent memories, holy grail skincare products and RuPaul’s Drag Race
The Stranger Things actress, ES Mag cover star and Armani brand ambassador shares her 9 beauty secrets for luminous skin


Sadie Sink is freckle-faced and glowing in her luxury New York hotel-suite when I speak to her over Zoom, having recently returned from Croatia where – for the past few months – she’s been shooting the rock opera musical O’Dessa. Hot off the heels from appearing in Oscar-nominated The Whale with Brendan Fraser, 2023 has been a busy but “beautiful” year for the young star.
“A lot is up in the air in the industry right now, and lots needs to be resolved before filming can continue to happen,” she says. With the finale season of Stranger Things on hiatus, the young star is taking on more and more challenges— beginning with the world of beauty.
This autumn the actress joins forces with Armani Beauty as their newest global ambassador, embodying the brand’s makeup collection and starring in the latest Si Eau De Parfum Intense fragrance campaign alongside Cate Blanchett .
“I am very excited to be working with the brand at this point in my life as I step into adulthood,” she tells me, despite only turning 21 in April. With a spirited exuberance that is wrapped up in a toothy smile, it is clear to see she is a natural fit for the iconic brand. “I feel very adult, very mature and sophisticated whenever I’m wearing Armani clothes or beauty, there’s definitely always a level of elegance there.”
Playful at heart, Sink is keen to experiment with fragrance and beauty when taking on different roles. “It’s so nice to have a separation between yourself and the character and leave behind your own personal fragrance and take on a new scent,”she says. “I think scent has the power to play a huge part in getting into character and it’s something that I’ve only recently thought about implementing in the future.”
Here she teaches ES Magazine a few of her essential beauty lessons.
1) Fragrance is nostalgic
“I guess my first and forever scent memory is probably my mom. Whatever she wears or however she just naturally smells evokes so much comfort and memory. My favourite scent is very specific, but when my little sister was born, just because it was such an exciting moment to become a big sister. That one I’ll always remember.”
2) Less is generally more
“When it comes to makeup, I would say for my everyday life the one thing that I tend to use every single day is a brow gel of some kind or a brow pencil. I’ve never really played a character that’s had a very specific beauty look. It’s always just kind of been very natural.”
3) SPF is for every day (not just the sunny ones)
“I couldn’t live without sunscreen. Skin care and makeup products kind of come and go, but sunscreen is forever.”
4) Be yourself
“I would probably say I feel most myself either when I’m on set in a working environment, I think that’s kind of like when you’re in the zone and you feel most fulfilled and most like yourself for me. Or probably more realistically I would say when I’m just alone in my room watching YouTube videos or RuPaul’s Drag Race, that’s where I’m in my element even more so.”
5) Look to your favourite characters for style inspo
“With fashion, I find myself kind of taking on the style of a character during a shoot or afterwards. I really felt it with Max during season 3 for some reason and her style there, I definitely felt like I was kind of taking it on just playing with colours more and even kind of taking some inspiration from the 80s. That definitely kind of led into my real life, but also because that shoot was maybe two years long. So to a certain point, if you’re wearing a character’s clothes for so long, it’s going to rub off on you in one way or another.”
6) Balance work with play
“Coming off of a big project. It’s hard to get back into a normal routine and normal sleeping hours. But it does feel nice when I do. I’m really bad at not working, but for the rest of the summer I’ll probably stay in New York. Go visit a friend in California, those are my plans.”
7) Invest in your skin
“I would say my favourite skincare product is May Lindstrom’s The Blue Cocoon. I love this. I’ve used this product for maybe four-five years or something. It’s pricey. Definitely. I really don’t like to splurge on skin care, but this is the one that I just have and each bottle lasts a year so it’s worth it. But this is like my kind of holy grail skin care product that I swear by.”
8) Don’t underestimate the power of a manicure
“One thing that I don’t do that I really should is forgetting to get my nails done. I have something this weekend and I need to get my nails done for it. I should start making that my routine and new ritual.”
9) Major life experiences are the ultimate beauty flex
“I remember my first big red carpet was for season 2 premiere of Stranger Things, which was my first season. That was pretty memorable, just because of how scary and exciting it was because the season was coming out and it just felt like such a big kind of turning point in my life.”
This Is the Iconic Perfume That Turned Sadie Sink Into a Fragrance Person
Maybe you recognize Sadie Sink from her breakout role as fierce friend and unapologetic adventurer Max Mayfield in Stranger Things. Maybe you know her as Ellie from The Whale or Ziggy from Fear Street. Or, maybe you’re a Swiftie who cried because of her performance in Taylor Swift’s All Too Well. No matter what TV show, movie, or music video you’ve seen her in, one thing about Sink becomes almost instantly clear after you see her on screen: She’s talented.
Sink is a natural multi-hyphenate. That became especially clear after she was announced as the newest global ambassador for Armani Beauty. She was recently featured in the Sì campaign led by Cate Blanchett. It goes without saying that this is a big deal. With rose and woody vanilla notes, the Sì fragrance is iconic and universally loved. That’s why we jumped at the chance to sit down with Sink and ask her all our burning beauty questions. Keep scrolling to learn more about Sink’s favorite products and beauty routine.


First, can you tell me about your partnership with Armani Beauty? What drew you to the brand, and why was it such a good fit?
I’ve been familiar with the brand basically since I started wearing makeup for events and getting my makeup done by makeup artists; they would always use the staple Armani products like the Luminous Silk Foundation ($69). Every makeup artist has been using that on me for many years. It felt organic in the sense that Armani played a big role in my beauty evolution over the years. Not only that, but everyone on the team has been so lovely, and it’s been an honor to join some of the iconic faces behind this brand.
For me, the Sì fragrance is iconic, and it’s been a favorite of mine for many years. I’ve even gotten my sister and a couple of friends to try it. What does that original fragrance evoke for you? Do you have any memories associated with it?
I actually hadn’t tried the fragrance until about a year ago. That’s when I experienced it for the first time. I was familiar with the name, and I’d seen [the] Cate Blanchett advertisements for years, so it’s iconic, and it’s been around for years, but I had never tried it.
I think I was surprised at how modern it is. It was nice to have tried it and felt like it was familiar in a way. It wasn’t too overpowering on me, and it felt youthful and warm while still having such an iconic name and history behind it. I can’t think of a specific memory that it evoked, but I guess it just felt like me, in a way, which I was pleased with.
Even though it’s such a sophisticated scent, it works for everyone. There are some fantastic versions of the fragrance. Do you have a favorite?
I think the Sì Intense ($158). That was the first one that I tried. I’m not sure why, but it’s my favorite. The Passione ($158) is probably the runner-up. I’d say those two are my favorites.
Are you a person who wears fragrance every day, or are you a person who reserves it for special occasions?
I used to only wear [perfume] for a special event, but over the last year or two, I’ve definitely started wearing it every day. I think it’s so nice to have a go-to signature scent that people associate with you. You can leave a lasting impression on someone with it—just having a connection to a scent, I think, can be really powerful, and I’ve loved having that as of recently. I’m definitely very routine with applying fragrance every day.
It’s like an accessory, isn’t it?
Yes!
Outside of fragrance, are there any skincare products you’ve loved lately?
I’ve gone on a journey with skincare and finding what works for me. Whatever I have right now is working, so it’s sticking. The one product that has stayed the same throughout the last four years is the Blue Cocoon ($180) by May Lindstrom. I don’t know if you’ve ever had the pleasure of trying that, but it’s a holy grail product for me.
It’s incredible.
And expensive! I hate spending that much money on skincare, but it lasts a really long time, like a year and a half, for me. That’s my one splurge.
I love that! Let’s talk makeup. Do you wear makeup every day, and are there any makeup products you love?
I don’t wear makeup every day. It’s never been something I’ve built into my daily routine, but if I’m getting out of the house and going to a dinner or something like that, the most I’ll probably be able to manage is a brow pencil to add a little definition—Armani has a good one, the Eye & Brow Maestro ($35), which I’ve liked recently—and concealer, maybe a little color on the lips. That’s what I can handle.
For events and stuff, I’m very lucky [that] I get makeup artists who can do a very good job, much better than I could ever do. I leave that to a full look and feel extra glamorous for a few hours.
I love a low-key makeup routine. Finally, I’d love to know what keeps you grounded when you have a demanding schedule. What helps you reconnect with yourself and feel joyful even amid a busy day?
I think just alone time. Being alone is key for me, especially with what I do. You’re around people all the time. People come in and out, and you’re always moving. The one thing I’ve realized over the last two years is that at the end of the day, it’s just you, so you have to find things that are fulfilling in your own time. Just having a moment to myself is key in terms of getting through a busy schedule.
