#MCBeautySpy: Stephanie Conley

Stephanie Conley's beauty kit

Are you a skincare, makeup, fragrance or hair girl?
My makeup and hair is very basic, but I love Nars for makeup and, being blonde, I can’t live without dry shampoo. I place a lot of importance on my skincare and Aspect and Skin Medica are my favourite brands.

What’s your go-to weekday beauty look?
Good, clear skin is a priority. I have an uneven skin tone so I use Nars Sheer Glow Foundation to even things out, and lots of Lancome Hypnose mascara. The Mecca lip balm lives in my handbag.

And your after-hours style?
I love simple black eyeliner and lots of lashes. My special fragrance is Fiori di Capri.

Beauty muse?
Catherine Deneuve. I love the hair, makeup and clothes of the 1950s and 60s.

What was the best meal you've ever experienced? And what would be your last meal?
The bucatini all'amatriciana at Taverna Trilussa in Rome is a very simple dish – but it’s delicious. That could be my last meal, but so could a hamburger and fries.
