Phase Eight Tatiana Dress
"I went to Cheltenham Ladies' College, which is an all-girls academy in the English countryside, and again I went to Leeds University. It’s absolutely industrial, and has a massive campus. Funnily enough, I did and didn't fit in. I had actual altered adventures every year I went back. I was actual into my studies—I advised literature. Now, I’m a appearance biographer at Moda Operandi. I assignment on our beat aggregation and actualize the accounting agreeable on the site. Aggregate from block appearance reviews to beat belief and features.
["436.5"]To be absolutely honest, the affair that has best authentic my appearance is my grandmother's wardrobe, which is apparently about 80% of my absolute closet. I’m one of three sisters, and including my mom, that’s four who were aggressive for this woman’s clothes. [My mom] of advance had aboriginal dibs. My grandmother admired appearance and kept things impeccably well. I feel abhorrent because I wore this dress of chastening to assignment and I knew I bald to dry apple-pie it but instead, I duke done it because it was easier, quicker, and cheaper. All the colors ran into anniversary added and bled. How could I abrasion article alert and abort it, and she could accumulate it for years and years and years?!
When I dress, I use it as an befalling to be absolutely creative. I absolutely adore cutting book and color—I acclimated to adulation art and painting and there isn’t absolutely allowance for that blazon of adroitness in my activity anymore. But, I can do it with bathrobe up. Some bodies don’t accept the time and interest, but auspiciously for me it’s allotment of my job. I get absolutely into appearance building. There are absolutely tricks to cutting vintage—cut out the accept pads anon and get adequate with continued lengths. I anticipate you charge aplomb to abrasion best and you charge to adore the clothes—they appear with a story. I anticipate bodies get so afflictive with things that aren’t a actual acceptable silhouette—a lot of the time the dresses are tea length, which looks absolutely appealing with a collapsed shoe or absolutely air-conditioned with a sneaker. There's a archness to my style. I’ll abrasion billowing Levis and slides, but I’ll do a red lip with that, so there’s consistently an aspect of actuality dressed up.
MAKEUP[My grandmother] consistently wore red lipstick. A lot of my accompany don’t absolutely like cutting red lipstick, they say it makes them feel old, but I like it. I like it for day and night. My day and night attending accept become added agnate aback affective here, aloof by advantage of not activity home and alteration afterwards work. Bodies in London abrasion so abundant added architecture [than in NYC]—I acclimated to do a cat eye flick, but I do that abundant beneath now. I adulation the Tom Ford lipsticks in Flame and Wild Ginger. Both are an orangey-red, but I’ll abrasion Wild Ginger for day and Flame at night. Best of the articles that I accept were begin in the adorableness buffet from Vogue [when I formed there]. I am able-bodied acquainted of the sell-by date. I don’t apperceive how you feel about sell-by dates, but I eat aliment accomplished its sell-by date all the time. As continued as it doesn’t aroma bad, it’s not bad.
I use the amazing Soleil Tan De Chanel—it’s a archetypal and you can use it forever. But I bumped the W3ll Bodies Bio-Bronzer Stick to the top. The one adorableness artefact that I won’t go anywhere afterwards is a afar foundation powder. Right now, I’m application Eve Lom Mineral Crumb Foundation and afore this I was application Bald Minerals, which I loved. I ablution my face and put it on and bodies will—and I’ve never usually been complimented on my skin—but bodies will stop me and say, ‘Your bark looks amazing.' It aloof evens my bark out. I administer it with a brush—I adopt to use brushes, it feels absolutely painterly.
["305.55"]For everyday, I don’t do eye makeup. I’ll aloof do some powder, bloom and a Tom Ford or Chanel lipstick. I additionally adulation a Lipstick Queen account lip. I adulation that bald face, adventurous lip look. I will occasionally use the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Chrism as a album but that usually guarantees a adversity and you’ll apparently get lipstick on your teeth. It’s added about the way you behave aback the lipstick is on. The way you abstain a lipstick arena is aback you re-apply, clean aggregate off, alcohol some baptize and again re-layer. It’s absolutely about demography it off and again putting it aback on. I apperceive the contours of my aperture now so I can administer lipstick afterwards a mirror. Because I alive uptown, best of the time I get accessible to go out while I'm still at work. I accept a accomplished accepting accessible bag with aggregate in it. Tonight, I’m apparently activity to do a gold and atramentous smokey eye and again a aloof lip and maybe some highlighter. This is Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill in Noida which is absolutely old and I haven’t acclimated in a while. I’ll put that over a abject of the Clarins Eyeshadow that goes everywhere with me. I acclimated to adulation eyeliner but I’ve been application it beneath and less. The Serge Lutens Beauté Mascara is a luxury.
I’m so amorous about the affair of demography architecture off. Oil. Makeup. Remover. The Chanel Bi-Phase Architecture Remover is abundant and attic oil works like a charm. I do a three footfall process—it’s oil, bubbles cleanser/cream cleanser and again it’s a dab of attic oil beneath the eyes column chrism cleanser to get aggregate off.
SKINI accept aggregate bark and I acclimated to get actual affronted about my button area, so I started activity to an amazing facialist in London. Her name is Laura Londt and she makes her own products. She’s been alive with the Vogue girls as far as 30 years back. She acclimated to say, ‘You can consistently acquaint it’s a Vogue babe because they’re bark looks so chock-full from all the being they’ve been using.’ What I abstruse [from her] was to cleanse, cleanse, cleanse. I don’t consistently bifold absolve but best of the time I do. I commonly do two pumps of oil and rub it all over and again ablution with water. I additionally adulation the Sensai Gel for cleansing—it’s a bit exfoliating. There are chaplet in it and already they pop you apperceive it’s worked. Again comes either a chrism based cleanser or the Sisley Bubbles Cleanser. I’ll chase that with a serum—Sisley Youth Anti-Aging Treatment is amazing.
I’m 27 and I’m starting to get my aboriginal wrinkles. Bodies anticipate I attending absolutely adolescent but the wrinkles are alteration things! I consistently took it for accepted aback my accompany would accuse about their wrinkles, because no one notices your wrinkles afar from you. Then, I got them and it was all I could anticipate about. I’m appealing abiding I got them from accomplishing my makeup. You apperceive the mascara face? I acclimated to not alike bother with anti-aging articles and now I’m introducing them into my routine. I use retinol at nighttime—I was alien to that by a facialist at Skinceuticals. I’m application the Chantecaille Retinol Intense Chrism now but I was application the Skinceuticals one afore which I adored. Skinceuticals is one of my admired brands. I additionally use Crème De La Mer, but added so in the winter and for drier spots. Like my grandmother, I accept an attraction with befitting everything. So, admitting the actuality that I accept three new Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Creams, I will cut the top off and use it until it’s absolutely gone. I put it on every morning on my aperture and sometimes on my eyebrows to accumulate them in place. I additionally put it on burns and bruises. I acclimated to put it on my eyes and do this accomplished ablaze affair but it gets bent in the creases.
["305.55"]BODYMy anatomy moisturizer is consistently attic oil. I aroma like a bloom acquainted millennial [Laughs]. I asphyxiate myself in it and I do anguish that it’s activity to accomplish my bedding chicken aback I jump into bed. I’m a ablution girl, not a battery girl. I ablution every night. So I will put the attic oil on afterwards my bath, aback you’re declared to put it on aback you’re wet, and I’ll go about my accommodation tidying up, abrasion my teeth and absolution it absorb. If it’s late, I’ll aloof bandy on some affection pajamas.
I don’t own a razor, I haven’t acclimated one aback I was 14. I wax. I’ve been told by every besom that if I wax for four added years I’ll accept no added hair, but I’ve been waxing for over 10 years, every six weeks religiously, and my legs are assuredly cautiously fuzzy. I’ve consistently had appealing arched, balanced brows but they aren’t actual thick. My affair is coiled brows—if I go pond and appear up, they're all over the place. It’s all about befitting them tame. I get them threaded already a year aback I go aback to London at Blink Brow Bar which is great. For some acumen I don't absolutely assurance New York beauticians. It all happens aback in London.
HAIRI already dressed up—as anybody does—as Margot from the The Royal Tenenbaums. I consistently acclimated to accept a absolutely scraggly average part, but I slipped it to the ancillary and fabricated it poker beeline and absitively I absolutely admired that. So I cut it all off. It was a new beginning. They consistently say a woman who cuts her beard is about to change her life. [Laughs] It’s funny because I afresh begin a account of my mom who had absolutely the aforementioned appearance at my age. The botheration is that my beard is absolutely coiled and there is a lot of it. It’s actual assertive and I’m not the ideal applicant for a bob, so it’s about added of a boy cut because it’s aloft in the back. It’s a grown-out pixie. And I hardly anytime ablution it. I accept absolutely adipose beard and I acclimated to accept to ablution it every two or three days, but now the oil is allotment of the attending and I’ll aloof glossy it back. It doesn’t get as bedraggled or attending as bad. I ablution it with Dr. Bronner's, which is basically anatomy soap, and again maybe I’ll action it with article I blanket from a auberge room. I do accept this Shu Uemura Beard Oil Shampoo that I aloof pulled out of the buffet that I will additionally use, but that’s basically it. I usually aloof air dry.
NAILSI accept so abundant to say about nails. One of my greatest pleasures in activity is to acrylic my nails. All my attach polishes catholic over with me from London and I accumulate them all in the fridge. I’ll generally accompany four colors to assignment and again adjudge throughout the day how I feel about [my nails]. I don’t anticipate it’s the best affected affair in the apple to accept a ablaze amethyst manicure, but it makes me so blessed and I adulation the action of accomplishing it. I like them a little longer, aloof over the fingertip, and curved, array of apery their accustomed cuticle shape. I use the Dior Abricot Attach Oil too.

FRAGRANCEOdejo is my accepted favorite. It affectionate of smells like cucumber with a adumbration of rose. I was partially complex in the conception of it. Aback I aboriginal met my dad’s girlfriend, I consistently anticipation that she smelled amazing. For years, aback bodies would ask her what she was wearing, she would aloof say—her name is Jo— 'Eau De Jo.' She would never acquaint me what aroma she wore or her age. Years later, she was bottomward to her aftermost little canteen of the oil, and we were chatting about it and she concluded up creating [the perfume]. I get chock-full all the time aback I abrasion Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desire. It has absolutely abundant tuberose. It’s divine. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve begin that I like fragrances that alloy to your bark rather than added scents. I don’t adulation cutting aroma that is cool branded because no one does these days—we are all individuals and we aren’t authentic by big brands [Laughs]."
