Daisy Edgar Jones, known for her standout roles in Where The Crawdads Sing and Twisters, recently took some well-deserved time off in the West Indies. Sharing a series of laid-back snapshots on Instagram, Jones treated fans to beachside moments, pool lounging, and scenic drives. With captions like "Tan in progress" and "Cancelling my return flight," her tropical escape seems like the perfect retreat. Beyond her acting career, Jones also shines in her wellness routine, from makeup tips to learning new skills for her film roles. Here's a look at how Daisy Edgar Jones keeps herself grounded and glowing, both on and off the screen.
1. She Knows How To Apply Makeup
Jones always looks good, and has great makeup. She shared her makeup secrets in an interview with Vogue. “I’ve learned that primer is everything – for both your face and your eyes,” she said. “I’ve also learned how important powder is in keeping your make-up from sliding off your face and onto the floor at the end of a long day.”
2. She Loves Crawfish

Jones loves crawfish. She told Southern Living that she started enjoying them while she was filming Where The Crawdads Sing. "I had quite a few crawfish boils! So tasty… though I'm not very good at peeling them. I get very hungry, so I would get frustrated when it would take about five minutes to peel. But they are very delicious."
3. She Dances
Jones loves to dance. She took up dancing for her role in Fresh. “It was so much fun,” she told Yahoo. “We had about four or five days of rehearsals before we started and one of the big things that we rehearsed was that final dance. Mimi [director Mimi Cave] had quite specific choreography, so we were working out what song to boogie to and Sebastian was very good with the shoulder moves. Those scenes were probably some of my favourites to film.”
4. She Runs

In an interview with Variety, Jones revealed that she had to learn how to run for her role in Twisters. “I’m not good at running; like I have a weird run, which I was told as a kid. And for me, that was a big stunt — to try and make it look not pathetic. I did running lessons — isn’t that crazy? Actually, Paul [Mescal] and I were laughing about it, because he was training for ‘Gladiator II’ and I was training for ‘Twisters,’ and obviously he had to be huge and I was like, ‘Don’t worry, I’m going to be right up there with you.’”
5. She Gets Out Of Her Head
Jones talked about filming Twisters in an interview with Atmos. She says that she learned to get out of her head when filming. “I think the great thing about those scenes is that you can’t really think too much. I can be quite a detailed thinker to the point that it can get in my way. And actually there was something amazing about scenes where you’re just literally getting ice lobbed at you as well as rain and wind. It forces you to get out of your head and just be. I definitely think moving forward that I want to be able to just be in it.”
