Adi Oasis just isn’t just making ripples within the funk and R&B music scene. The singer, featured on KAMAUU’s hit “MANGO,” is making a tidal wave of admiration with a particular soulful sound and magnetic stage presence.
Whether or not she’s recently popped up in your feed—be it on stage in a hotel bathrobe or her stellar COLORSxSTUDIOS performance—the French-Caribbean-born singer and bassist has been touring for over a decade.
And as a latest mom that’s navigating motherhood while currently touring in Brazil—Adi ensures self-care is non-negotiable and her beauty routines are essential to her on-stage confidence.
Adi’s pre-show preparation begins with a powerful morning routine focused on hydration, nutrition, and rest. “I ensure to remain hydrated, eat a well-balanced breakfast, and get as much sleep as possible,” she shares. While the latter is usually a challenge on the road as a latest mom, she kicks off her day with a delicate cleanse within the shower, followed by applying Derma-E Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid to maintain skin shiny and hydrated. However the standout in her routine is moisturizing with a face oil. “ I exploit IN GROOV’s Every Mood Face oil that also hybrids as a cleansing oil I can use to remove my post-performance makeup. The scent and texture are perfect, and it appears like a mini spa within the morning”.
Before she applies her makeup for the show, Adi sometimes refreshes her skin with one other cleanse and application of face oil, ensuring “ My complexion stays vibrant and dewy all night long”, she says.
In terms of makeup, embracing a “less is more” philosophy is an ode to her minimalist French roots. “I don’t generally follow makeup trends; I’m going pretty light,” Adi—who claims Grace Jones as her biggest style and sweetness muse—explains. Step one in her makeup routine: Eyebrows! “I actually have a selected way I like them, and I can’t live without my brow pencil,” she says.
Her go-to is the MAC eyebrow pencil in Spiked, which she stocks up on during her travels. Because her skincare routine is a crucial a part of her day by day routine whether traveling or at home in Brooklyn — she opts for a skinny layer of MAC’s Studio Fix Fluid Foundation just to reinforce her look then uses MAC’s Mineralize Skinfinish bronzer in “Gold Deposit” for a warm glow. To bring the look full circle, she applies a pleasant semi-bold lip, recently discovering a berry brown lip color called L’avenue by MERIT that’s develop into a “staple in my kit” she says.
Balancing self-care with motherhood and touring is usually a juggling act. Adi used to meditate every morning but finds it harder now with a baby. As a substitute, sneaking in brief workout sessions when possible has been a self-care practice. “I still find time for calisthenics fitness sessions once I’m on the road,” she says, noting that even hotel workouts keep her energized.
Adi also finds herself doing things like showering at nighttime, all within the name of keeping the newborn asleep. “Sometimes I unintentionally use shampoo as a body wash to avoid waking,” she shares. “But hey, cleanliness was the silver lining,” she laughs. Although her priorities have shifted, learning to adapt to latest expectations has been her superpower. “So long as my baby and I are in good health, the remaining of all of it is only a bonus.”
Together with her radiant skin and soulful sound, she is undoubtedly an indie artist to look at. Up next, Adi says she’s dreaming of sharing the stage with artists like H.E.R., whose work resonates deeply along with her own. Until then, if you happen to’re in Brazil, you’ll find her live at The Blu Note in Rio De Janeiro on November fifteenth and Fabriketa for Everyday People in São Paulo on November sixteenth.
