Ayesha Madon is a creative in the sense beyond vocation. The Australian singer and actress had her big break in 2022 with the release of Netflix's Heartbreak High reboot, starring as whip smart high-schooler Amerie, and has since dialled into a creative career that's included supporting Meg Mac on an Australian

 tour, becoming an ambassador for Melbourne Fashion Week, and a soon-to-be released debut EP in 2024.Madon's day-to-day has certainly kept pace, with a schedule that sees her flit between the recording studios, sets and award shows – while also finding downtime for friends and family. Her on-the-go

 essentials? A pair of headphones (she'll even listen to music between takes on set), "like, six shades of blush", and her trusted Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, a hydrating and lightweight daily moisturiser she uses under makeup and to bookend her beauty routine each day.

We catch up with Madon on-the-go to ask her about her upcoming debut EP, her musical hyper-fixations (she's a big fan of the Barbie Pool Party Mix Volume 1), and the most unusual, sentimental and trusted products in her beauty bag right now.
