Suki Waterhouse made a case for many things in the beauty department this past year: bangs, bold liner, and going brunette, to name just three. But according to the 23-year-old catwalker, actress, and face of Burberry, she was a tomboy growing up—a fact that changed only when she entered the modeling world and had “access to all these beautiful clothes,” she said. Waterhouse still considers herself one of the guys, but noted that she loves “Christmas cake, ultra-girl style, too!” In honor of her birthday—and that of her beau, Bradley Cooper—we’re celebrating by revealing a few of this head-turner’s best hair, makeup, and skincare secrets.
Her number one skin trick: “Ice your face to close your pores before putting makeup on! I can’t remember who taught it to me, but it’s the best tip I’ve ever had.”
Her complexion trifecta: “I always use HealGel—it gets rid of any blemishes or uneven skin tone. I also love Decleor beauty serum, as it is really nourishing. Apply Burberry foundation after as a base—it’s very natural-looking.
Her strand-saver: “I don’t think about my hair a lot, I just leave it to do its thing.”
The real reason she got bangs: “I cut them one night with my nail scissors. My sister was laughing so hard—they looked awful!”
How she styles them: “I tend to just blow-dry my fringe and leave it.”
Her immunity booster: “I’m a fan of lysine!”
The way she winds down: “Exercise makes me feel the best, and then I’ve earned the right to slob out.”
Her beauty icon: “Lou Doillon! I’m in love with her forever and ever, amen!”
