Read more it-girl beauty affirmations here.

Sirena Warren is a 24-year-old actress and model from Los Angeles. You might know her from 2hollis’ “crush” music video and the short film Angels. “I act, hopefully soon I’ll get roles that aren’t just the unhinged mean girl archetype,“ she tells Dazed. “I also do what basically every girl on the planet does… take photos and model.” Below, she gives Dazed her 2025 beauty recap, and shares her affirmations for the year ahead.

WHAT DOES BEAUTY MEAN TO YOU?

Sirena Warren: It’s energy. Some people just have a presence. I’m way more drawn to someone’s aura than their appearance, and usually if your energy is good, you look good.

NAME A BEAUTY RITUAL YOU KEPT UP WITH THIS YEAR

Sirena Warren: I use a very sharpened black pencil eyeliner in my waterlines, then blink to let it transfer to the top and smudge it with my fingers. I’ve also been into semi-black Korean contacts and my Dyson Air Wrap.

TELL US YOUR 2026 BEAUTY AFFIRMATIONS? 

Sirena Warren:

  1. Dark eyes, bare face = hot.
  2. Take an everything shower if you’re depressed.
  3. Don’t take collagen powder. Eat sardines with the bones, like an alley cat.

WHAT’S BEEN YOUR FAVOURITE SCENT THIS YEAR?

Sirena Warren: The last time I publicised my fragrance, it was sold out everywhere when I needed a refill, so I prefer not to comment! But this year, I’ve had phases with Aesop’s Rozu and Prada’s Iris.

NAME ONE HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT YOU’RE TAKING INTO 2026

Sirena Warren: I have a few. People always ask for my lip combo: I use the Sacheu lip stain in HEY-zel. It has mixed opinions, but I love it. I’ve probably gone through 10 at this point. I use that with Benefit’s Dark Cherry lip stain and the Laneige lip balm in Berry. Also, always black pencil liner – either the Pat McGrath one, or the classic MAC pencil.

WHICH BEAUTY TREND ARE YOU READY TO SAY GOODBYE TO IN 2025?

Sirena Warren: Eyebrow gel. It’s unnecessary. 

WHAT’S THE BEST BEAUTY ADVICE YOU’VE EVER RECEIVED?

Sirena Warren: Wear the uniform you always feel good in. Wear sunscreen, go on a walk, wear big sunglasses, sleep good, meditate, eat greens, drink water, and pray to god.
