I started coming here with my family when I was really young, Sweeney recalls.
The women in my family didnt really wear makeup, she says.

I grew up putting sunscreen on your face and body, but that was about it.
It wasnt until I came to LA that I learned about skincare and makeup.
If shes wearing makeup today, I wouldnt know it.

Were here today to celebrate Sweeneys new rolea promotion, actually.
She says she loves that Laneige embraces her exactly as she is, au naturel.
Its the most clean-face version of me, she says of the beauty brief for todays shoot.

Now years into her acting career, Sweeney feels empowered through my femininity.
Its fun to be both.
Thats whats so cool about just being humanwe can be anything that we want to be.

But who she wants to be is actually just Sydthe name her close friends and family call her.
When Im on set [for a role], I feel at home, comfortable, and confident.
Thats when I realized I was meeting the real Syd Sweeney.
