Roame With: Satchel Lee, Artist

My name is Satchel Lee. I'm 25 years old from New York City. I'm a creative. I take photos, produce and direct videos, write... 

RC: What does a typical day in your life look like?

Satchel: My alarm goes off at 8am. I'll take a shower. Get dressed. Go get some food and sit down to answer emails. After that my days shift, depending on what I'm working on at the moment. But I enjoy my morning routine. 

RC: What is your beauty regimen? (Even if it’s simple or good genes, please share :)

Satchel: I use a milk cleanser and toner every morning and at night I wash my face with soap and water. Everyone once in a while I'll do a hydrating mask. 

4. What are your favorite skincare products?

I'm really enjoying this new face moisturizer. It's from Origins. Plantcexptations or something. It has SPF 25 in it and it leaves my skin super hydrated with a velvety finish. And it smells amazing.  

5. What is your diet like and how does it impact your skin?

My diet is kind of all over the place. I rarely have three meals a day. I'm still a baby in that way. I probably eat too much sugar. I like baked goods. And Reece's Cups. But I think my skin is more affected by my hormones than my diet. I tend to breakout right before my period. 

6. Do you get facials? Do you do it for luxury or maintenance? If so, where?

I don't get facials that often. I'm not a huge fan of people touching my face. When I do get them it's for maintenance. I could probably use one now. 

7. How often do you wear makeup? Any favorite makeup artists and products? 

I wear makeup everyday but my goal is always to look like I'm not wearing any makeup. I like Glossier. They're very much about the no makeup, makeup. I get really uncomfortable if I'm wearing too much makeup. I always end up feeling like I'm so much prettier without the makeup and want to immediately take it off. 

Shideh Kafei is an amazing makeup artist. She can do everything. And I always feels gorgeous after sitting in chair. 

8. What’s your favorite fragrance/scents or oils? 

I wear Santal 33 like everyone else in Manhattan. 

9. What is your favorite restaurant right now and favorite dish?

I'm not good at restaurants. I'm not the friend who makes reservations. My go-to restaurant is Mediterraneo on 2nd ave. They have my favorite pizza in the city. Very thin crust. The sauce and cheese are perfect. 

10. If you could be a cocktail, what would you be?

Maybe a gin and tonic. But truthfully, I'm sweeter than that. What about a very dirty martini! That's been my drink of choice as of late. 

11. Where was the last place you traveled to and where are you going next?

I was last in Montgomery, Alabama for work. It was an amazing trip. Next I'm going to visit my grandparents in Florida and after that I'm going to the Caribbean.  

12. What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Trust your instincts. Everything you want it already yours. This is a computer simulation.
