Off-Campus<\/em> had viewers considering the philosophy of ghosting. S\u00f8ren Kierkegaard, according to Belmont Camelli\u2019s character, Garrett Graham, would say that we have \u201cshared moral responsibility\u201d and that \u201cghosting is choosing comfort over courage, despair over strength.\u201d<\/p>\n Mika Abdalla takes a different approach: \u201cMama\u2019s gotta take care of me\u201d\u2014at least in the context of her latest campaign for Urban Decay. She is the spokesperson for the brand\u2019s new Ghosting Trio, which, in addition to a cheeky name, includes a blurring primer, setting powder, and setting spray. In this campaign, ghosting \u201cisn’t just going MIA for no reason,\u201d Abdalla says. She alludes to it being more about being okay with not keeping things that no longer serve her in her life. \u201cIt’s like, \u2018This thing doesn’t make my life easier, okay.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n As it relates to dating, however, she sees ghosting as \u201cmean up until a point,\u201d saying it’s not how she operates. \u201cI don’t have a problem being direct.\u201d<\/p>\n The actress took us through all things beauty and self-care while on and off the set of the Prime Video show.<\/p>\n Her makeup remains simple: Day to day, \u201cI’ll throw on a bit of mascara and then do my Ghosting Spray,\u201d she says. If she decides to add more products to the lineup, she reaches for multitaskers. \u201cMany of my products are two- or three-in-one. I have blush and highlighter duo sticks.\u201d<\/p>\n Urban Decay<\/p>\n On set with her makeup artist, however, Abdalla likes to experiment. \u201cI love playing with Old Hollywood tricks by using different colored eyeliners in specific spots around your eye to enhance your irises, brighten up your eyes, or change their shape,\u201d she says. Her most recent obsession: Brightening the whites of her eyes by putting a tiny bit of red eyeliner at the inner corners. \u201cMy set makeup artist, Rex, and I were playing with that [trick] yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n Abdalla\u2019s hair is slightly more involved, especially since becoming Allie Hayes in Prime Video\u2019s book-to-screen adaptation of Off-Campus<\/em>. Fans of the book series were quick to notice that it\u2019s different from the source material. (Allie is originally a blonde.) When asked if she ever considered dyeing her hair for the role, Abdalla says she was open to it, but it was never really part of the conversation with the showrunners. \u201cI remember asking them, \u2018Do you think you’re going to dye my hair?\u2019\u201d to which they responded, \u201c\u2018No, this isn’t about hair color. It’s about vibe.\u2019\u201d They did, however, suggest that she get highlights so that her natural texture showed more on camera.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Off-Campus had viewers considering the philosophy of ghosting.
