Samantha Harris shares her favorite features, beauty secrets and reminisces on the start of her career....
My lips are my favourite feature
When
I was younger I wasn’t too keen on them because they were different,
but as I’ve gotten older I’ve grown to love them. It’s funny now
because everyone seems to want big lips - lucky for me! I don’t tend to
wear lipstick, rather I’ll just put on a little of
Benefit’s Cha Cha Lip Tint or
Lucas Paw Paw Ointment, which I carry with me everywhere.
I’m much more eyes over lips in terms of the makeup I wear. I really like those warm, bronze eye shadows. I have this
Stila palette with all of these beautiful eye colours that I find work really well with my complexion. I curl my eyelashes with my
MAC Cosmetics Eyelash Curler and I just got this new mascara by
Benefit
that I’m really into also. I don’t generally like wearing mascara
because I walk out of the house with one massive eyelash when it all
clumps together, but I’ve found that my Benefit one doesn’t do that for
some reason.
I started modeling when I was 13
Back
then I didn’t know much about makeup or how to apply it properly. When
I turned 16 or 17 though I started getting the hang of it. I’ve learnt a
lot along the way by watching makeup artists do my makeup. I’m always
asking for little tips and tricks.
I like the look of peachy tones on my cheeks and have two cream blushes I swear by:
Stila’s Convertible Colour in peony and
Becca’s Beach Tint.
I kind of mix them together to make this super peach. I use the Stila
one on my lips sometimes too - it’s so versatile and fun to wear.
I love foundation. One of my favourites is the
Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation with SPF15. It’s so sheer yet I can still build up the level of coverage if I need to. I use a pressed powder by
MAC Cosmetics for touch ups throughout the day.
