How do you like to start your day?

I really enjoy my mornings; I like to take my time for them. When I get out of bed, I first hug my two kittens. After that, I put my mobile phone against the bathroom mirror to watch my guilty pleasure, the Dutch soap ‘Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden’ while I get ready.

Ever since I was little, I have always loved makeup. I like to test new products and I always try different brands. But for my daily office look, I go for a more natural one. First, there’s BB cream, then concealer on the places where I need it, bronzer for a beautiful tanned look and last, my eyebrows. I find my eyebrows really important. I draw my eyebrows with some powder and I brush them upwards with eyebrow gel. Makeup ready? Then I will brush my hair quickly and put on the clothes that I selected the day before. Ready to go!

What is your ultimate self-care moment?

It may sound odd, but my ultimate self-care moment is cleaning my entire apartment until it’s squeaky clean. After cleaning, I take a nice warm shower with a hair mask, face serum and body lotion. I then jump on the couch to watch my favourite tv show without feeling like I still need to do something. That is my ultimate me-time moment!

What's your favourite beauty essential from the new beauty line?

My favourite beauty essential has got to be the lip oil. I always have these dry patches on my lips, and this product ensures that your lips stay nourished with a beautiful gloss.

How would you describe your makeup look?

I like to experiment with makeup but during office hours, I keep things natural. For a night out with friends, I often add nude-coloured brown lipliner to my look with some eyeshadow and highlighter.

What's your ultimate self-care/beauty tip?

I often receive compliments on my ‘eyeshadow’ look, but funnily enough, this isn't eyeshadow. I actually use the bronzer that I put on my face above my eyes. It creates a beautiful look with the brown colour matching my blue eyes.
