We caught up with Pettis a few weeks earlier than the Netflix launch to talk all issues magnificence, baby stardom, actuality courting reveals, curl care and extra.
I beloved seeing you’re employed with Miranda Cosgrove. Did you guys bond over childhood stardom in any respect?
“Yeah, I used to be actually excited to work together with her. I used to be stunned I hadn’t met her earlier than. I’d all the time been a fan of hers. I believe she’s so humorous and gifted. It was actually enjoyable watching her on set and her comedic timing is so nice. We bonded over that, for positive. We each had very related trajectories and paths, and we each look again at these instances actually fondly, which is sweet. We each really feel actually sentimental about that point. And we each had a extremely good time balancing faculty and set life.
She and I each took faculty very significantly. You get this time in a set day the place it’s three hours of college, that must be faculty, after which the opposite six hours are on set, however the three hours might be damaged up into 20-minute blocks. Like, it’s not three hours steady. So half the time you’re in the midst of a math take a look at, they usually’re like ‘okay, they need you back on set once your 20-minute block is over.’ And also you’re like, ‘oh, I want to finish my math test.’ She and I had related tales of being like, ‘I want to finish my quiz’ or ‘I care about this history lesson that we’re in.’”
The Mistaken Paris facilities round a courting actuality present. Do you watch any your self?
“I’m not the most loyal dating show person. I’ve watched The Bachelor over the years. I dip in some seasons and some seasons I won’t. I watch with my friends who are all big reality people. So we’ll do little watch nights and stuff like that. Then for this project, I watched some Love Island, rewatched some Bachelor, and I watched some Southern Charm to get my little southern accent.”
Would you ever go on one?
“I couldn’t. I don’t think so. I’m too easily jealous to compete with other people for a guy. When we were filming it, I was like, ‘Yeah, I don’t have what it takes. Those people are strong. I don’t have it.”
Do you could have something in frequent along with your character within the film?
“She’s different than me, for sure. It’s fun to play characters that aren’t just like you. She’s a southern girl, which I am myself. I’m from Texas originally. She’s from Tennessee. I don’t have the southern little twang that she’s got going on, but it’s still in there somewhere. My Texas soul is still in there. And I think, similar to me, she actually is looking for love. I think she’s kind of a businesswoman with her influencer career going on. I think she knows the show is a good opportunity, but I do think she’s actually there trying to meet the love of her life. So I think she’s pure intentioned in that way. And if I were in her situation, I would also be looking for love and trying to do it that way too.”
What are a few of your favourite rom-coms?
“13 Going on 30 is my favorite movie just in general of all time, it’s perfect. I’ve seen it 200 times. It’s flawless. Notting Hill is one of my favorites. 10 Things I Hate About You is so good. I love that one.”

Your curls have all the time been wonderful. How have you ever stored them wholesome all this time. Do you utilize something to reinforce them otherwise you simply get up like this?
“It relies upon. You understand, when you’re a curly lady, you don’t know what your hair goes to present you that day, like day one wash day after day three is totally completely different hair. I attempt to get curl-by-curl cuts. It was a giant game-changer for me once I found these as a result of I had had just a few unlucky haircuts earlier than I found the curl-by-curl reduce. I had gotten my haircut like an individual with straight hair when it’s moist, however your hair expands a lot when it’s curly and dry, and when it’s moist it’s means longer, so you possibly can’t inform how a lot you’re actually chopping off as a result of my curly hair proper right here would really be all the way down to right here when it’s moist and straight. So that you assume you’re chopping off this a lot, however when it shrinks up, you’re really chopping off a giant chunk, like perhaps double or triple. So I’d assume ‘oh, yeah, it didn’t seem like they reduce that a lot off,’ after which it might dry, and I used to be like, ‘Oh, I have a little bob, not what I thought we were doing.’ So a curl-by-curl reduce is a a lot safer method to go. They reduce it dry, ringlet by ringlet, or simply undergo and snip it precisely the way you need. In order that’s an incredible key.
I attempt to do a great detox shampoo each on occasion. I just like the CÉCRED one ($38) with the scrub in it. It’s very nice as a result of product buildup can weigh curls down. I’m huge on deep conditioners. Even when it’s not a deep conditioner, I depart any conditioner in my hair for like 5 to 10 minutes whereas I’m doing the remainder of my bathe stuff. I’m all the time conditioning longer than it says on the bottle. My hair simply can not get sufficient hydration.”
We coated hair, so what are a few of your favourite make-up and skin-care merchandise to make use of?
“Oh, so many. I’m loyal to merchandise. I’m huge on checking to see in the event that they’re non-comedogenic and pimples secure, as a result of I simply have very delicate, acne-prone pores and skin. I can’t experiment. I’ve received to maintain my pores and skin clear. The Armani Luminous Silk Basis ($69) I’m actually loyal to. I’ve been utilizing that since I used to be most likely like 14 and I all the time return to that one. It’s tried and true.
I like Kosas merchandise loads. I attempt to do talc-free powders and their powders are actually nice. I like the Tower 28 powder as properly. It’s additionally talc-free. I’m a giant Fenty Magnificence lady. I like all Fenty Magnificence merchandise. I’m additionally huge on something that makes my make-up final. I really feel like I’ve a face that tends to eat make-up away. I’m like, ‘It’s solely been on me for just a few hours, and it’s going away.’ So I’m huge on the Milk Hydro Grip Primer ($38), it’s actually good for lengthy put on. I like the ONE/SIZE spray ($34). It’s a extremely good matte. It virtually looks like hairspray in your face, but it surely retains the make-up on.”
How do you assume rising up in Hollywood affected your relationship to magnificence and confidence?
“I really feel like I’ve all the time simply been conscious of how I current publicly as a result of I’ve been within the public eye for therefore lengthy and I get acknowledged in public loads. So I give it some thought extra once I depart my home. I gown like Adam Sandler once I’m in my home, however once I’m out in public it’s like ‘maybe I’ll placed on a little bit concealer and blush immediately so I don’t scare the individuals.’ It’s additionally been fascinating rising up and seeing how my make-up fashion has developed once I turned an grownup and a young person and began carrying a full face.
I’ve all the time had a enjoyable relationship with make-up. I used to be carrying make-up on these reveals as a child, similar to a minimal quantity, however I used to be all the time sitting within the make-up chair getting concealer or perhaps a little bit little bit of blush placed on as a result of the lights type of wash you out in order that they need to deliver a little bit little bit of coloration again into your face. So I’ve all the time beloved taking part in with make-up since I used to be a child. I additionally did dance competitions, so there are footage of me with like a false lash on at 5 as a result of that’s the dance competitors means. So I’ve all the time beloved make-up, and that’s by no means modified.”
What do you do to keep up your wellness within the midst of a busy schedule?
“I’m a giant Pilates lady, that’s my essential exercise. Even once I’m away filming, I attempt to discover the brand new Pilates spots. We filmed most of this film in Vancouver, and I discovered a Pilates spot close to the place I used to be staying, and I used to be going on a regular basis. It was Lagree, which I like doing in addition to conventional reformer Pilates. That’s my favourite exercise ever.
For general wellness, sleep for me is crucial. If I don’t get sufficient sleep, I don’t really feel good, I don’t look pretty much as good. If ideally I can get 10 hours of sleep an evening, I’ll. I attempt to get that in. It’s just about not possible to do if you’re filming as a result of the hours are so lengthy and loopy, and also you solely actually have 12 hours in between if you wrap and if you’re on set the subsequent morning. So 10 hours is a little bit trickier if you’re filming, however once I’m making my very own schedule, I prioritize sleep over every part. I really feel prefer it impacts each a part of my wellness.”
Are you extra of a morning or an evening particular person?
“More of a night person. If I could make my ideal schedule, I would sleep from midnight to 10 AM every day. That would be perfect for me. I’m better when I sleep in a little bit.”
