My breakthrough career moment was …

My round YS Park brushes
Oribe Dry Texturizing spray – it’s an institution and easy to tell why
David Mallett Volume Powder – this super fine powder is a genius invention

My biggest beauty trick / tip is …
After a big night out spritz your face with Organic Rosewater and let it soak in. Give your roots a once-over with a dry shampoo to get some “oomph” back into you then scrape back into a casual low cool ponytail. Lastly ... and the best advice yet, wear a crisp white t-shirt or shirt as this brightens up your complexion and appears more clear because of the reflection of having white on.

My favorite career memory/ highlight is …
Working with photographers Inez and Vinoodh in New York on a GAP campaign ... Next level.

My advice to people getting started in the industry is …
Be humble. Be kind. And don’t gossip.
