MY LOOK
On the cool-girl cut of the moment: “I’m all
about a really good modern lob that’s A-line or
straight across the bottom, with texture—I love
cutting up into the hair so it has movement
but is still thick and healthy. I just cut lobs for
Lorde, Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber—I’ve
been on a cutting spree.”
On going MacGyver: “I wanted a really sleek,
wet look, and by accident I grabbed St. Tropez
Gradual Tan Plus Sculpt and Glow. It worked
amazingly. So that’s my new trick for really
glossy hair that keeps a nice sheen all day. But
the weirdest thing in my kit would actually
be lube for slicking back wigs. And dryer sheets
to help fight frizz.”
On marital struggles: “Day four, I do my hot
center-part bun—that’s when everyone knows
my hair is dirty. I use my Ouai Hair Oil to get
a nice sleek look and an eyebrow brush to get
any flyaways and baby hairs. By day five,
my husband is begging me to wash my hair.”
On working the massage table: “When I go for
a massage, I bring masks with me. I put on
Charlotte Tilbury’s Goddess Skin Clay mask,
which I use once a week; the Ouai Treatment
Masque; and a shower cap. I go get my
massage, and then I wash everything off.”
On her skin savior: “I have really crazy
melasma—just from getting older—and [makeup

artist] Joyce Bonelli taught me to use Kevyn Aucoin The
Sensual Skin Enhancer foundation to really cover that
up. I put it on first with a concealer brush and then blend it
with a damp Beautyblender.”
On Sesame Street beauty: “[Makeup artist] Sir John showed
me the right way to put highlighter along just the very tops
of my brow bones. And Jessica Alba taught me to use a brow
pencil that’s a shade lighter than my actual brows so I don’t
look like Oscar the Grouch. I’m name-dropping like crazy.”
On the upside of spending time on the road: “I do my
makeup in my car, and [makeup artist] Mary Phillips taught
me to put my eyelash curler on the heater for a minute to warm
it before I curl my lashes.”
And on the downside of spending time on the road: “My makeup
bag got stolen out of my car twice last month. Going to Sephora to
replace everything was a thousand dollars.”
On date-night makeup: “Huda’s Rose Gold Eyeshadow Palette is so
pretty for nights when I’m getting dolled up. The colors I use most
are Coco for my lids and Moon Dust at the inner corners and the brow
bone. I use Surratt’s liquid liner on the ends, and YSL’s kohl eyeliner
on the rest of my lash line—I feel pressure to get a really even line with
liquid, so it’s a lot easier for me.”
On what she’s asked most frequently: “ ‘Are we done yet?’ ”
