Singer Andy Allo Reveals Her Beauty Essentials
Andy Allo made waves on the music scene with her debut album, UnFresh, in 2009 and now she's gearing up to make a big splash with her follow up, Superconductor. The singer collaborated with industry giant Prince on the sophomore album, taking her songs which she describes as a new genre called "Alter.Hip.Soul" to the next level. "It was really exciting to bring Prince an acoustic song, which is how most of my songs began, and see him turn then into these epic masterpieces," says Andy.
The curly-haired singer dishes on her favorite frizz-taming products, her makeup must-haves, and the flower that she swears by for homemade masks.
