Here's a life hack for you: Keep it simple.

At least that's the case if you're asking Alessia Cara about her beauty habits. The Canadian singer might only be 20-years-old, but with radio hits like "Here" and "Wild Things" climbing the charts, she's just getting started.

She's undoubtedly a natural beauty but, even when she's performing on stage, she keeps her makeup routine to a minimum. And while she doesn't consider herself to be a beauty junkie by any means, the performer does have a few tips and product recs (especially when it comes to hair) that she can't live without.

What's your everyday makeup look?
I don't wear makeup usually, but if I do, concealer and some blush is usually what I'll do to freshen up my face. I love doing a winged liner too, if I'm feeling it that day. As far as tips: I'm not the greatest at makeup, but I have found that applying my concealer in a triangle shape rather than a straight line under the eye looks and works best.

What is your signature lip color?
If I do ever wear a lip color, it's usually a nice nude or earthy, neutral tone. I think that looks best with my skin tone.

What are your go-to hair products for everyday?
Hair is something I know a lot more about. I'm a curly-haired girl so products are life-savers. A leave-in-conditioner or a sea salt spray is extremely necessary.

What is your best non-product related beauty tip?
Dry your hair with a cotton t-shirt instead of a towel to reduce frizz. It works every time, especially for curly hair.

Any current product obsessions?
Morronconoil hairspray. It smells amazing and works so well.

What's your signature scent? What does it smell like and remind you of?
La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme is my favorite smell in the whole world.
