Yahoo Lifestyle Blake Lively Spills Her Beauty Secrets
Blake Lively.
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 am always focused on sun protection.
My hair changes depending on where I am. If I'm someplace very humid, it can get a little frizzy and big, so I need something to calm it down, but when I'm home in New York, what I really want is volume since I like to wear my hair loose. L'Oreal Paris Elvive Fibralogy shampoo and conditioner make it look like I spent a lot of time on my hair when really, I probably just put it in a ballerina bun and let it air-dry.
Sometimes I rub coconut oil on the ends before shampoo. It's great in winter when the air can be dry. I don't spend hours at the salon; I do, of course, get haircuts, but I don't go every six weeks.
I love scents that are both masculine and feminine. I used to experiment and mix perfume with cologne, but now I wear Gucci Premiere [Lively is the face of the scent]. The woody notes give it masculinity, but the citrus and floral notes give it a hint of femininity.
The make-up artists I work with most often know me really well. They always have great tips I can use at home, like adding a tiny pop of turquoise on the inner rim of my eyes to make them stand out. It always works!
I tend to make my statements in fashion rather than beauty. My favourite make-up look is something that has an effortless and deconstructed look - dewy skin, a neutral eye palette with mascara, and a glossy nude or pink lip.
While I don't have time to get them regularly, I love a good manicure and pedicure. I like something super neutral, or darker and bolder. If it's a special occasion like [Christmas],
I go with a little sparkle.
These days I feel like I'm spending more time buying home items than fashion! Rugs, lamps, kitchen knick-knacks ... you name it.
My indulgences are mostly food-related. Chocolate, dark chocolate, ice-cream sundaes - I have a sweet tooth. I love to bake for other people, but I also enjoy just baking for myself.
