WHAT I USEThe travel
photographer
spends her
days outside
capturing beautiful
moments, so she
relies on products
that work as hard
as she does“Growing up, I was in awe
of my mum’s beautiful creams
and lipsticks. She showed
self-love through her beauty
routine. My routine needs
to suit my busy lifestyle. I’m
constantly travelling, so this
mist protects my skin and
helps keep it soft and fresh.”- Rosewater Balancing Mist, $35,
JURLIQUE, jurlique.com.au
“This bronzer gives a natural
glow and adds dimension.”- Bronzing Powder in Laguna,
$58, NARS, mecca.com.au
“I keep one of these sticks in
my handbag, at my desk and
in the fridge. I use it to prepare
my skin for makeup and find it
really rejuvenates it.”- Cucumber Water Stick, $61,
ILIA, mecca.com.au
“This foundation is sentimental
to me. I discovered it in the
lead-up to my wedding and
after wearing it on the day
I’ve never used anything else.
It’s not oil-based and is super
lightweight so my freckles are
still visible, which I love.”- Future Skin, $114, CHANTECAILLE,
mecca.com.au
“I only ever wear nude
lipstick. This Hourglass crayon
has a creamy, satin finish, and
gives the effect of plump yet
still natural-looking lips.”- Femme Nude Lip Stylo in Pink Beige,
$46, HOURGLASS, mecca.com.au
“I love wearing the perfume
oils I sourced on my travels
through Morocco and now
stock in my online store.
The orange blossom oil
reminds me of the first time
I went to Marrakech with
my boyfriend (who’s
now my husband).”- Marrakech Pure Orange Blossom
Oil, $68, KARA ROSENLUND,
kararosenlund.com
“I’m obsessed with this lip
exfoliator. This compact little
stick is made up of organic
ingredients, such as volcanic
stone powder, so my lips
always feel super smooth.”- Lip Exfoliator, $38, ILIA,
mecca.com.au
“I use this serum as the pink
pop of colour brightens and
accentuates my cheeks. This
rosy glow is flattering on just
about any skin tone.”- No Blush Blush, $50, PERRICONE
MD, mecca.com.au
“The triangular shape of this
brow pencil is so good for
sculpting and enhancing my
brows. The pointed tip and
wand make it easy to get
clean lines quickly.”- Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil, $49,
HOURGLASS, mecca.com.au
“This multi-tasking stick can be
applied to the cheeks, lips
and eyes. It has cocoa butter,
shea butter and Vitamin E in it,
and makes my skin feel really
hydrated and refreshed. It’s a
rich colour but looks natural.”- Multistick in Cheek to Cheek,
$49, ILIA, mecca.com.au
