“I am finally starting to become a morning shower person. So I get up, hop in the shower and wash my face. I like cream cleansers because my skin is super sensitive so I can’t deal with the foamy ones. I basically use all Estée Lauder. I use their pink line on my skin and after I get out of the shower I put on their moisturizer. I always use eye cream too. I get that from my mom; she is skin obsessed and tells me, “I don’t want you to get wrinkles!” I have to have sunscreen on everyday but I’ll use any generic sunscreen with a high SPF.”

“I use a Covergirl compact called Aqua and have been using it for ages. It doesn’t irritate my skin so I have never changed it. I don’t wear mascara but I always do a bit of a cat eye or a winged tip with a liner. I use Estée Lauder in black and sometimes I will add some shimmer to make it more dramatic. ”

“During the day I like to wear the Korres plum balm, it gives my lips a little tint. I used to wear red lipstick a lot and I still do at night but without any eyeliner. A full red is so bold and makes your lips look really full and old Hollywood glam [laughs].”

“I am trying to grow out my hair at the moment. I used to have really long, straight, light hair and I kind of miss it. They chopped it all off and gave me this shaggy rocker look, but I like it.”

“I use Clinique toner at night; it’s the best thing ever. It helps with dry skin and evens it all out. The rest of my night routine is basically the same. I use the Estée Lauder face wash and moisturizer and of course an eye cream!”

“So I wake up and then go back to sleep and when I finally get up, I wash my face with baby shampoo because my skin dries out easily. It’s also a great makeup remover because it’s tearless. I use a little bit on a washcloth and water to get off my mascara at night. I also have a Lancôme eye makeup remover, which is brilliant, but if I come home late, I always use the baby shampoo.”

“I don’t like foundation; I’m into tinted moisturizer. I grew up doing theatre so real honest-to-god foundation makes me feel like I’m going on stage. I usually take a few drops of tinted moisturizer and mix it with more moisturizer and then put it on my face. I like it really sheer and can’t stand having a thick coat of anything on my face. I’m a major Oil of Olay fan and have been using their moisturizer since I was twelve or thirteen. I also love Covergirl’s Natureluxe tinted moisturizer; it spreads easily and is super gentle.”

“I  go out a lot so I really adore my concealer and Benefit makes a great one called Erase Paste. You put a tiny drop on your finger and spread it under your eyes and instantly, you look like you are the most responsible, bedtime-adhering person ever.  It makes me look far more capable than I probably am.  Usually I just finish it off with a little swipe of black liquid eyeliner. I call it a kitten eye instead of a cat eye ‘cause it doesn’t really go out all the way. It’s that kind of Skipper to the cat eye Barbie; I’m super into it.”

“Pop Beauty makes a great liquid liner if you are not comfortable using other ones – it’s really, really fat. It’s more of a marker so you can get a good grip on it. Guerlain’s terracotta black eyeliner is what I usually use when I’m going out and want a very strong, black liquid, Mrs. Robinson-kind-of-eye. I’m also a big fan of cake eyeliner; it’s great if you want it to last all day. I like mascara now but I didn’t used to. Actually, Nylon did a really cool shoot for our December/January issue with all these mod girls and seeing that got me excited to use mascara.”

“I’m a big lipstick girl; I love colors, I love pink, I love red, I love purple.  I had a moment where I did a dried blood red lipstick, and people were confused because I’m such a giggly girl. It was like that time in My So Called Life when Angela Chase dyed her hair red and you sort of knew it’s not really who she was – but I sort of loved it anyway. I am often late for parties, or work, or life in general and if I have time for nothing else, I’ll throw on a lipstick. My default is this rich matte red. Poppy King’s line Lipstick Queen has a great, thick, matte red called Sinner; it goes on and is the same color as the tube, super pigmented.”

“If I’m wearing my hair curly I usually leave in some Bumble and bumble super rich moisturizing conditioner, that’s my favorite. I wash out 60% and add a little bit of a setting balm to lock in the moisture. When you have curly hair you learn really quickly what shape of curl you like, more compact or chunkier. It’s silly because your friends can’t even tell the difference, but you can. You develop this very personal relationship with your curly hair and know exactly how you want it to dry. I have spent years developing these almost alchemist formulas to curl my hair perfectly. In the winter, I straighten my hair the quickest way possible with either olive oil or John Frieda serum and flat iron it. I love the Charlotte Ronson beach texturizing spray too – it smells so good.”
