Brandee Evans Talks ‘Reasonable Doubt’ and Skin Care

Best known for her breakout role as Mercedes in the critically acclaimed Starz drama P-Valley, Brandee Evans is joining the cast of Reasonable Doubt for its highly anticipated new season. The legal thriller returns to Hulu tonight with a two-episode premiere, followed by weekly installments, and Evans is already being celebrated for her layered and emotionally resonant performance. We recently caught up with the star to talk skin care, red-carpet prep and why this is such a big role for her.

This is a big one. What are you most excited about as you gear up for the release?

“Reasonable Doubt is honestly one of my favorite shows. I was already a fan before stepping on set so to now be a part of it is a dream come true. What I’m most excited for fans to see is how deep we go this season. It’s layered, it’s bold and it’s real. The writing is sharp and the performances bring so much heat. Monica comes in with a whole vibe and keeps people guessing. I think viewers are going to be all in from the very first episode.”

The word is you know your skin care. Can you share what you think is good right now.

“I am absolutely obsessed with the products from Raya Day Spa in Los Angeles. They have been a complete game-changer for me and I use them on every set I’m on. Their skin care keeps my face clear, hydrated and glowing even during long filming days and under bright lights. My skin has honestly never felt healthier. It is not just about the products themselves but the quality and consistency they deliver. A few of my go-to staples from Raya are the Camphor toner, fruit enzyme exfoliant and Azulen cream. These are must-haves in my routine and help keep my skin fresh and camera-ready every day.”

Sold. What was your favorite part about filming this project?

“The best part of filming was hands down working with this cast and crew. Raamla Mohamed is amazing. Her vision is so strong and she leads with such grace and clarity. Being surrounded by creatives who are passionate, focused and intentional fuels you in the best way. There was this unspoken trust on set that made you feel safe to explore and go deeper with the work. We laughed, we worked hard and we created something powerful together. That kind of environment is rare and I feel so grateful to be part of it.”

Has anything changed for you from when you first started in the industry—anything you have revised for your skin?

“Over the years, my beauty routine has definitely grown up with me. I used to be all about the glam, but now I put so much more love into skin care. I am big on regular facials, staying hydrated and keeping my skin healthy from the inside out. The older I get, the more I realize that real beauty starts with how you take care of yourself. I focus on clean ingredients, gentle routines and being consistent. The glow comes from treating yourself well, not just putting on a great face.”

Will you do anything specific for the press push for this one?

“My number-one beauty tip for red carpet events is to always take your makeup off when you get home. No matter how tired you are, just take it off! Your skin needs that time to reset overnight and cleansing is everything. I also never skip toner. It helps keep my skin balanced and feeling fresh especially after a full glam moment. Skin care before and after an event is just as important as the look itself. You do not need a hundred steps just the right ones and the discipline to stay consistent.”
