Even though the Chicago native is new to the fashion scene, she already has a beauty routine worth stealing. From mud masks to hot yoga and an obsession with Pat McGrath‘s Skin Fetish highlighter, Gulielmi knows the secret to a flawless glow. Here, she reveals her best beauty advice, favorite makeup products and more.
Your look in three words:
Calm, cool, collected.
Medicine cabinet snapshot:
KPS Essentials Renu face cream, Kate Somerville ExfoliKate, Shu Uemura Tsuya Lotion II, and Lano Lips balm.
A good hair day starts with:
Kérastase’s Bain Volumifique shampoo and Masque Magistral (when hair feels dry) and Ouai Wave Spray for a bit of texture.
Makeup miracles:
Chanel Éclat Lumière Highlighter face pen, Boy Brow by Glossier, and YSL Glossy Lip Stain in Rebel Nudes.
Nails must be:
I like basic shades. Nothing bright or flashy. Nude nails = good nails. I like the Naked Manicure shades by Zoya.
Sheet mask or mud mask:
Mud masks. I’m currently loving the Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask by Botanics.

Bronze or blush:
Neither, really. If I had to pick between the two, I’d say blush (a very subtle one, just enough to give a bit of warmth to my face) like Dior’s Rosy Glow Awakening Blush.
Beauty from the inside out:
High intake of vegetables and water – so essential!
Exercise obsession:
I enjoy hot yoga and running. I’ve been looking to check out Y7 yoga…I hear you sweat a lot and it’s fun.
Drink of choice:
Definitely a tie between water and Kombucha.
Product that you borrow from the boys:
Men’s deodorant.
Product that you picked up from the pros:
A little highlighter goes a long way. I love to use Pat McGrath Skin Fetish 003, works magic!
A woman should smell like:
Chloé’s Fleur de Parfum.
Appointment you’d love to nab:
Probably an appointment at Aire Ancient Baths New York.
Spa-cation at:
In a cabin in Alaska. Alone and cozy.
In-tub must-read:
Anything by Paulo Coelho.
Best advice from mom:
Think the things that you want to happen. Focus your energy on the good, not the bad.
Definite doppelgänger:
Anything else:
Stay true, be you.
