Skincare secret: SK-II facial mask, Estee Lauder advanced eye repair cream, Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream, Cetaphil moisturizer and face wash.

Eyes or lips: I love NARS chunky matte lip pencils. I rarely wear eye makeup, just use mascara and an eyelash curler.

Air-dry or blowout: Air-dry.

Best advice from mom: Be yourself. Always be polite.

Best advice from the pros: Skin and makeup tips from makeup artists. I’m always asking them questions.

Necessary splurge: My horse. I spend so much on equestrian products and riding gear.
