Pia Whitesell, the 42-year-old former Home and Away actress, shares her everyday beauty routine, blending luxury staples with affordable picks available at popular retailers.
Everyday Makeup Must-Haves
Whitesell’s routine features standout products from brands like Huda Beauty, MAC, and Too Faced, alongside budget-friendly options. Key affordable items include e.l.f. Cosmetics’ Primer-Infused Matte Blush for $14, stocked at Kmart. She also favors the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, priced at $14.95 and available at Big W.
For her skincare base, Whitesell applies Olay Regenerist Super Collagen Peptides Soft Moisturiser, found at Coles and Woolworths, currently on sale for $35 at the latter.
Higher-end favorites round out her kit: MAC Eye Kohl Crayon at $41, MAC eyelash curler for $44, Too Faced Born This Way Soft Blur Setting Powder at $69, Huda Beauty Easy Bake Setting Spray for $55, Huda Beauty Lip Contour Stain at $45, and Violette_FR Bisou Balm priced at $50.
Top Beauty and Wellness Tips
Whitesell emphasizes three essential tips: sleep, sweat, and lymphatic drainage. She achieves lymphatic drainage using a fascia blaster, often in a sauna. This stick-shaped massaging tool, created by U.S. entrepreneur Ashley Black to treat rheumatoid arthritis, also reduces cellulite by repairing connective tissue.
The device supports lymphatic drainage massage, which uses gentle rhythmic strokes to promote fluid movement through lymph nodes, aiding toxin removal and reducing swelling.
Blended Family Life
Whitesell recently highlighted the joys of stepmotherhood to her husband Patrick Whitesell’s children—son Evan, 19, and daughter Ella, 17—from his previous marriage to Lauren Sanchez, now married to Amazon executive Jeff Bezos. Whitesell also has sons Isaiah, 22, and Lennox, 19, from prior relationships.
“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,” Whitesell shared. “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?”
The Chilean-born Australian star moved to Los Angeles with her children and married Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell five years ago, following his proposal in late 2020 with a stunning diamond ring. The couple wed in May 2021 and has since integrated into L.A. life.
