“I grew up within the countryside in a very small city within the Netherlands, one hour and fifteen minutes from Amsterdam. I feel I had solely been on an airplane as soon as earlier than I began modeling after which I began flying all world wide. Then I moved to New York. My pores and skin was undoubtedly having a tough time from all of the touring and stress, so I began a remedy in Holland referred to as ZO Skin Health. It’s a routine I do at night time. I cleanse after which use a remedy firming pad. The first two weeks my pores and skin acquired very dry, however then it acquired higher. I exploit their scrub thrice per week and two totally different lotions, one for day and one for night time.
On a standard day, I put on slightly little bit of concealer and mascara and I brush my brows. My mother is blonde and barely has brows. My dad has black hair and actually darkish eyebrows. I acquired the blonde hair from my mother and the darkish eyebrows from my dad. The very first thing my modeling agent advised me was, ‘Never pluck your eyebrows once more.’ I used to pluck them! Thank God they grew again. When I used to be little, I believed my darkish brows have been bizarre however now I’m actually proud of them. If they’re form of loopy once I get up I’ll use the Bobbi Brown Brow Gel.
I at all times like to provide myself plenty of time to prepare, an hour and a half to 2 hours. Choosing garments to put on at all times takes a short while, after which I do my make-up and hair. If I’m going out, I wish to have good music to get within the temper. I put ’80s pop music on, like Whitney Houston, and a have a glass of prosecco. I wish to take a sizzling bathe and really feel recent earlier than I am going someplace. I exploit the Fix It Coverstick from Dior if I’ve slightly spot or redness. I like that it is not too dry. I combine #1 and #2 to match my pores and skin. I even have the AC Cleanup Mild Concealer by Etude House that I exploit on a pimple if it is actually crimson. I acquired it in Japan. I wish to contour with Maybelline Fit Me. I apply it to my cheeks and below my jaw. It undoubtedly provides me extra definition.
I do not actually use blush as a result of my cheeks get crimson naturally, however I’ve a very nice highlighter from Maybelline that I placed on the bridge of my nostril, my cheekbones and on the internal corners of my eyes. I exploit Kiki Milano mascara, the 30 Days Extension Night Treatment Booster. It extends your lashes. At night time, I like so as to add eyeliner and a taupe-y eyeshadow. I really like this Dior 5 Coulers in Undress eye palette. It has taupe, nude, and pink colours. I love to do a [smoky eye] and I exploit a brush so it is not too smudgy. Sometimes I put on eyeliner, however I discover it actually arduous to do. One eye at all times seems to be good, after which the opposite one is slightly totally different. It takes so lengthy, and so they’re by no means the identical. I like a crimson lip, but it surely depends upon my temper. I’ve a pleasant Gucci one which I like. My favourite lip balm is the rose one from Vaseline. It smells good too. I even have this depuffing curler lip balm from Japan. For perfume, I put on Miss Dior. I’ve been carrying it for half a 12 months. Before that I used Valentino. I at all times put on a candy perfume.
My hair is of course blonde, however I dyed it slightly blonder a 12 months in the past. I exploit silver shampoo to [maintain the color]. I attempt not use conditioner as a result of it makes my hair heavy, and I wish to have slightly quantity. Instead I exploit the Leonor Greyl Serum de Soie Sublimateur to make my hair stronger and I exploit a sea salt spray if I’m going out. When I had longer hair, I used to make use of clip-ins. Now I exploit one or two as a result of my hair may be very skinny. I acquired mine from a shoot. They do not at all times allow you to hold them, however this time I acquired fortunate. [Laughs]
I’m at all times the one who needs to exit. My associates would most likely say that I’m very easy to persuade [Laughs]. I wish to exit to dinner first, earlier than we exit. I’m nonetheless discovering nightlife in Amsterdam—I simply acquired a spot there, but it surely’s much like New York. In New York, folks put on heels out, however in Amsterdam—we’re all actually tall—there aren’t as many women in heels. Usually I put on flats, like boots, however typically I’ll put on a small heel. I like these Steve Madden ones. In my bag, I hold a small perfume, concealer and lip balm, and my telephone and bank cards. When I get dwelling from going out, I wish to order fries. Sometimes I simply go straight to mattress, however I at all times take my make-up off. If I’ve a full face on, I exploit Bioderma first, after which I’ll do my complete skincare routine.”
