Beauty is in that extra split second you look at something or someone. It’s “the world rediscovered each day”.
What does Beauty mean to you?
On Skincare
I don’t always stick to a routine—it depends on how I feel. That said, there are a few products I frequently return to:
Rose Jelly makeup remover by Plenaire, for its texture and feel.
2% BHA liquid exfoliant by Paula’s Choice, which does an excellent job at evening out the texture of the skin.
Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Serum, which essentially feels like textured water.
Nuori mousse – I like washing my face with this occasionally.
Nivea Soft. Easy, reliable, with basic ingredients and a texture I like.
On Make-up
Chanel Les Beiges – it’s the lightest foundation I’ve ever had, and it blends very naturally into the skin.
Dior Addict Lipgloss – for its shine and tingly feeling.
Glossier concealer, light 4 – it’s my perfect colour match.
Any eyebrow brush, for a neat look.
Hermes Rouge Bleu lipstick, for lips and cheeks.
Drunk Elephant Bronzi drops. I use this almost every day to combat my winter vampire look.

‘For its shine and tingly feeling.’
‘In light 4 – it’s my perfect colour match.”
‘Rouge Bleu lipstick, for lips and cheeks.’
‘Does an excellent job at evening out the texture of the skin.’
‘Best texture and feel.’
On Haircare
My hairdresser, Rino de Nicolo in Paris, recommends everything from Tokio Inkarami, and I have to agree, their shampoo and conditioner keep my hair in its best condition! I also love their oil treatment, which I apply to dry hair when using other products.
On Rituals
I feel good when I take care of myself—drinking water, eating fruit, walking.
But I feel my best when I don’t overthink too much! To me, the perfect balance is between staying mindful and letting things flow/ embracing a sense of ease. Hopefully then everything else follows naturally.
