Kali Uchis
WE’VE BEEN HOT for Colombian-American songstress Kali Uchis since we first heard her 2012 mixtape Drunken Babble, which she released after graduating high school. Since then, she’s worked with heavy hitters like Snoop Dogg and Tyler, the Creator, standing out in the R&B/pop sea thanks to her silky smooth voice and Latin-influenced beats. And though her music has ears perking up, it’s the 24-year-old’s over-the-top femme, retro-meets-street style that has heads turning—think ’60s and ’70s prints, pumped-up bouffants, and headscarves, combined with tons of layered gold jewelry. Uchis is playing shows in Europe and the U.S. throughout the summer in support of her debut album, Isolation, which came out last year. But she took time out to share her everyday beauty faves with us, from a stellar zit zapper to her ashy elbow fix.
