— EMILY BLUNT & HER FIRST RED LIP COURTESY OF JENN STREICHER. CANNES FILM FESTIVAL, MAY 2010.
LESSONS FROM JENN STREICHER
“When I do my own makeup for an event or something I definitely copy a lot of what she’s done on me or taught me. I cannot do it as well as her, of course. But she definitely got me into a bold lip. Before I met her, I never did it. I never wore lipstick, and she was always like, ‘C’mon, you’d look really cool with lipstick.’ But I’d never do it, and then one day we just did this red lip when I was in Cannes, and I’ve never looked back. She’s encouraged me to be bold with lipstick.”
PHOTO SHOOT PREP
“I got a facial in New York at this little holistic spa called Pratima. They do these really beautiful facials which incorporate all-natural products that they make with natural ingredients and essential oils. It's very hydrating, which I needed in the New York fall.”
THE SKIN-CARE ROUTINE
“I use a dry-skin toner from Kinera. I really love the Murad products. I think they’re really protective and great. I use a cleansing oil by Murad which isn’t soap so it’s good at not drying your skin out. Then I layer on the most amazing serums by Auspect Clinical. Pro-B and Pro-C for morning, Pro-A and Pro-B for night.”
LESSONS FROM MUM
“Oh, my mum always just plastered [sunscreen] on us when we were kids. So I wear it every day as a result of my mum saying, ‘You are all so fair-skinned and you cannot just go out in the sun without sunscreen on.’ It’s probably a big secret that she helped me out with. It’s not really a secret, but it‘s something that people forget.”
