While some indie artists do not show much care about how they look on and off the center stage, the gorgeous underground singer Jess Connelly goes beyond the typical. Hailed as one of the best-dressed women in the country by the local fashion title Preview magazine, Jess is also a self-confessed beauty junkie.

“I definitely love Japanese skincare and Korean beauty buys,” the ‘Wait’ singer admitted with pleasure. She added, “My favorite is the Kiehl’s face wash and the cleansing oil from Shu Uemura.”

On one hand, if Jess swore by the power of Asian beauty products, she also swore against going out without concealer. “One thing I don’t feel confident without is a bit of concealer under my eyes,” she quipped.
