A former Ford model, the Eliza Magazine founder, mother and one-half of The Girls with Glasses web series, reveals what keeps her beautiful.

Morning routine:
In the morning I splash a handful of water on my face and apply Dermalogica Active Moist moisturizer and Innovative Skincare Clinical Eye Complex—I am obsessed with it. My makeup routine starts with Armani foundation as a concealer and La Mer The Treatment Powder all over. Then it’s a touch of mascara, blush and a natural lip gloss.

Overnight skin ritual:
I sonic care my skin and use Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel to clean it, then use my IS Clinical Eye Complex and a heavier moisturizer like Aveeno Positively Ageless Night Cream. I have really dry skin and need something that is going to moisturize.

Who cuts/colors your hair:
Nikki Providence is my favorite.

Hair habit:
My most unique hair technique is to use hot rollers—yes, hot rollers! I can throw them in in three minutes and for the rest of the day I have smooth, shiny and healthy-looking hair.

Favorite eye look:
Cat eye, all the way! NYX’s Super Skinny Eye Marker makes it easy to do.

Go-to lipstick:
On a daily basis I usually wear gloss, but lately I have been obsessed with Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Satin lipstick in Belgravia.

Nail color of the moment:
Scotch Naturals in Leprechaun Lynch.

Signature scent:
I use Method’s Pure Naked Body Wash in Magnolia. I love the smell and usually don’t mix a scent over it.

“Never without” product:
What’s Your Virtue? Lip Bliss gloss in Kindness. Love the color, consistency and message.

Secret to staying young and beautiful:
Choose to smile.
