Fresh Face Beauty
At only 17, Ally Frankel, co-founder and muse of lowfuss beauty label Nudestix, is the epitome of modern-day chic
Her latest beauty obsession
Brows—i never got into the whole trend. I was always intimidated at not being able to draw my brows properly!
Daily beauty and fashion looks change…
Depending on my mood. If I’m feeling relaxed, I do neutral colours. If I’m going out with friends, I’ll add a pop of lip colour or smoke up my eyes.
On how her outfit influences her makeup
I like thinking up what I’m wearing first. Everything else is an accessory. It’s part of my lifestyle, it’s the little parts that fit together.
A beauty idol she looks up to
Vanessa Hudgens. She’s very natural, but still has a great fashion sense that always makes her look put together.
Her advice on accepting flaws
If you don’t accept your natural beauty, others won’t. It’s important to look at beauty holistically. Working out, surrounding yourself with good friends, eating healthy… those consolidate who you are as a person.
Recommended Nudestix product for Asian beauty
Nudestix Eyebrow Stylus pencil and gel. Asians love to fill in their brows, and our triangular tip makes it easy to imitate natural brow hairs and lines.
What she enjoys about working with her mother and sister
I love how it gives us a topic we can always relate to. It brings us closer all the time. Above all, it gives me a different view of my mum. Watching her in action opens my eyes to her different side.
Her favourite Instagrammers
@xiaxue, @ellepearls and Cosmo US beauty editor Carly Cardellino. I always meet new and exciting people on the job, definitely a perk!
Her wellness philosophy
Sleep—i can never get enough. I can sleep anytime of the day.
Best way to unwind
I love reading before bed. I’m always thinking or doing something, and reading helps tone me down.
