Talk us through your morning routine.
My morning skincare routine starts with washing my face with my favourite Dr Barbara Sturm foam cleanser, I then apply a light layer of the La Mer regenerating intense moisturiser and, to finish, I love the Laneige lip mask (which also doubles as lip gloss). After skincare, I usually do some very light-touch makeup – I like to keep it natural for day-to-day, and then I’m out the door.
And how about your evening routine?
I try to keep my evening routine consistent and as fuss-free as possible. After a long day, I wash my make-up off with the same Dr Barbara Sturm foam cleanser – this product is just amazing for removing every trace of makeup and leaves my skin feeling so fresh but not completely stripped of moisture. Occasionally, I might do a scrub before bed if I feel like my skin needs it, I then apply the Dr Barbara Sturm night serum on my face and neck, the Laneige lip sleeping mask, and, if my eyes are looking tired, I will apply the La Mer eye concentrate.
What are your go-to skincare products?
I am a huge fan of Dr Barbara Sturm products, her foam cleanser, the night serum and glow drops are some of my staple products. I also love the La Mer regenerating intense moisturiser and the La Mer eye concentrate, both are amazing – so hydrating yet gentle on skin.
Are you a fan of masks?
Yes, since I discovered 111SKIN I instantly fell in love with their masks and do them regularly. They are the perfect pick-me-up for when I’m feeling a little tired or puffy – their Rose Gold Facial mask and cryo de-puffing eye masks make my skin feel nourished.
How would you describe your approach to makeup?
I like my makeup to look natural and not too heavy as not to overload my skin. I will usually apply a little foundation – I like Tom Ford’s traceless soft matte formula, a light touch of Lancôme’s Hypnôse mascara, the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow gel, and a lick of lip gloss from Kylie Cosmetics, then I’m good to go.
What can always be found in your makeup bag?
I always have a Kylie Cosmetics lip gloss, a little rouge – and I love the Rare Beauty liquid blush.
Which fragrance is your favourite at the moment?
I adore Gucci Bloom and Tiffany’s ‘Tiffany & Love’ perfumes with its floral notes of natural tuberose and Jasmine.
For evening really depends on the occasion if it’s a party, something casual, or dinner. I love to mix it up but will always opt for something more subtle and elegant that isn’t too overpowering.
Talk us through your hair routine.
I love the Kérastase Résistance Bain Extentioniste shampoo and conditioner, after washing my hair I will always apply a little Olaplex hair oil on wet hair. I am a big fan of the Olaplex range generally, especially their no.3 hair bonding mask, which I use regularly. I also take the Oase hair vitamins, which are very effective.
What is the most unusual item in your makeup bag?
I don’t think there is anything particularly unusual, aside from maybe my hairbrush! I also always have a mirror and cotton buds to hand in my makeup bag.
