Beauty notes

We can’t help but envy Blake’s flawless skin and perfectly tousled hair, so when the L’oréal Paris ambassadress talks beauty, we listen.

On hair “I always use a mask, and I’ll rinse it out and leave 5% of the mask in. I feel like my hair drinks it up. If I know I need to style it in a very curly [way], then I do a little less, or I’ll use a conditioner instead.” TRY [2] L’oréal Paris Elvive Fibrology Thickening Conditioner (R49.95). On skin “The idea of weekly facials sounds good to some, but I’d rather spend that time with friends and family. I don’t rely on professional skin maintenance. In winter, I focus on hydration, in summer, I go with lighter moisturisers, and regardless of the season, I’m always focused on sun protection.” We like [1] La RochePosay Anthelios Tinted Dry Touch

Gel-cream SPF50+ (R230). On makeup “I’ve done my own hair and makeup for the red carpet before but either it’s because it’s for a last-minute event or because I forgot to call someone. But I do get very involved in the hair and makeup I wear because, I mean, it’s my face! I work with people that are such great artists that if I think I have an idea about something we can spitball and make it better.” For Blake’s natural finish, go for [4] L’oréal Colour Riche Dual Effects Eyeshadow in Beige Trench (R199.95). On fragrance “I love scents that are both masculine and feminine. I used to experiment and mix perfume with cologne, but now I wear [3] Gucci Première EDP 75ml (R985). [Blake was the face of the scent]. The woody notes give it masculinity, but the citrus and floral notes give it a hint of femininity.”
