The morning edit 6th Febuary
Are your mornings more calm or chaos and why?
My mornings are chaos. Im always trying to find the time to workout and exercise before my working day starts, as well as trying to maintain a beauty routine to show up to work feeling and looking my best.
What does ‘routine’ mean to you at this stage of your life?
Consistency using products and doing things that make me feel good and relaxed in order for my day to run more smoothly.
Talk us through the first moments of your morning what are the first 3 things you do?
•The first thing I do is make a coffee because I cannot function without it.
• I try not to go on my phone too soon, but this is really hard. On a good morning I like to read a book in bed if I have any spare time, even just 20 minutes.
• My hair curlers are taken out, and my morning skincare routine commences.
What helps you feel most like you in the morning?
I live in Dubai so I love to start my mornings at the stables or reading a book on my balcony with a coffee. I treasure slow mornings the older I get and try to prioritise this time at least once or twice a week.
Where do brows fit into your everyday routine?
I have done and will always use by Ellies brow texture as a key step in my morning routine. Its the only thing I put on my face before I work out, and on my no makeup days, brow texture is still applied. I don’t know what Id do without it.
What are your five must-have products you start your day with (any brands)? One byellie product
• Heatless hair curling rods have changed my life, I sleep in them every night and wake up with a fresh blow-dry every day.
• I love la Roche-posay balm as my everyday moisturiser, I use it morning and night. Its supposed to be a heavier night cream, but I love it for an all day glowy look and a mask every evening.
• Ive been loving the medicube collagen masks as a weekly night routine. I wake up with the glowiest skin.
• The No7 cream bronzer has become a staple in my makeup routine. It’s a more affordable dupe of the Chanel version, and gives a perfect sun kissed glow.
• My by Ellie lip balm goes everywhere with me. It has the prettiest pink tone and the perfect flavour. I actually own several, and keep them all in my different bags.
A beauty tip you are currently loving?
The importance of eye creams, Im noticing such a difference in how my makeup is applying when I use a good eye cream in my base routine.
