Petra Collins Uses Lipstick On Her Cheeks for a Natural Flush

With her naturally curly hair and retro, downtown-cool wardrobe, it’s no surprise that 23-year-old Petra Collins has caught the eye of Gucci’s ’70s-obsessed creative director Alessandro Michele. Now, in addition to shooting music videos for Lil Yachty, photographs of Kim Kardashian, and creating her own work, she’s starring in the brand’s ad campaign. Here, Collins reveals the secret behind her just-rolled-out-of-bed hair (okay, she just rolls out of bed), her favorite beauty products, and more.

A good hair day starts with: Nothing, but if my hair is flat I’ll use Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray.

Makeup miracles: RMS Un Cover-Up.

Nails must be: Clear. Dopp kit snapshot: AKN Skincare capsules, COOLA Mineral Liplux, Klorane Florale Makeup Remover, Biologique Crème Contour Eye Cream & Recherché Masque Vivant, Aquaphor Lip Repair, Desert Essence Blemish Touch Stick.

Favorite mask: Biologique Recherché Masque Vivant. It smells disgusting, but is a miracle worker! Bronze or blush: Blush. I use any lipstick or tinted lip balm I have on hand and I’ll just smudge it on with my fingers: like Shiseido Rouge Rouge in Bloodstone or Glossier Balm Dot Com in Cherry.

Product that you picked up from the pros: Yadim taught me to use Make Up For Ever Concealer Pencil in Beige on my waterline.

Beauty from the inside out: AKN Skincare capsules and lots of water.

Drink of choice: Water, a lot of water.
