Where do you find your beauty inspiration?
"I'm constantly inspired by French New Wave films — especially, Anna Karina. Their look is always so chic and timeless. Also, the gals of Twin Peaks, and can't forget RuPaul."

A bevy of beauty products!

What’s your go-to beauty look?
"Bright lips with a cat-eye."

Any beauty inspired diet tips?
"Chia seeds! They're full of omegas 3 and 6, which is great for your skin, and keeps your body hydrated."

What beauty products do you absolutely swear by?
"The Clarisonic has been the MVP of my beauty routine — it has freed my skin of breakouts, and leaves it baby-butt soft. Also, Osmosis Skin Care keeps my skin great, its full of effective, but non-irritating ingredients and is organic. Lately, I've been a lipstick junkie, so I've been swearing by YSL lipstick. It doesn't dry out my lips, and comes in a slew of colors."
