The cool founder of Call it By Your Name shares what's in her makeup bag

“What I’m most passionate about is creation. Looking for new shapes and coming up with original designs... The process of continual creative endeavour is what drives me the most. I love that the objects and accessories I create are both practical and beautiful, unique and colourful. I have so much fun with Call It By Your Name. Developing accessories is actually quite new for me, but it perfectly corresponds with my personal style, which is very classic and timeless in terms of clothing, and much bolder when it comes to accessories. I love the idea that our pieces embellish and inject energy into simple, timeless outfits.

I’m also really passionate about local craftsmanship, and it’s one of the first things I look for when I travel to a new country or city. The bandana fits perfectly into that: it was originally created in India but arrived in the United States almost a century ago, and it’s still made by hand today. I also love this accessory because it’s timeless, classic, and above all, transgenerational—it works just as well for a child as it does for an older person. They’re also pieces that get passed down, from mother to daughter."

“My essentials largely revolve around the brand Ilia, which I discovered a few years back. The Skin Rewind Complexion Stick Foundation is one of my favourite products! I don’t use it every day, but I absolutely love it. The Multi-Stick blush, on the other hand, is very much part of my daily routine – I’ve been using the shade At Last for 2 or 3 years now, and I think it’s an exceptional product. It’s really long-lasting, blends perfectly into the skin, and gives this incredible glow. The Limitless Lash Mascara is amazing, and its brush beautifully lengthens lashes.

I also use many products from the Oh My Cream Skincare range, including the lip balms and  – for the eyes – the Eyeshadow Stick in shade chocolate, which I discovered recently.

For 25 years, I’ve stayed loyal to my Clinique concealer. And for the past three years, I’ve been using La Bruket’s Lip Balm every single day – on myself, but also on my children. So that’s what my makeup bag ultimately looks like: very few products, but products that I really love and that I never grow tired of.”

“There are several rituals I love. The first is massaging my face with oil – this stimulates circulation, instantly reviving radiance and giving a healthy glow. I also use the Boum Boum Milk from Violette_FR, which I think is brilliant. It’s the perfect product when I have a night out and simply need to refresh my makeup: it gently rehydrates the skin, lets you lightly touch-up your complexion, and gives you a really natural glow. And then I love cleansing my face with Oskia’s Renaissance Cleansing Gel. I absolutely adore its texture, scent, and – most of all – the immediate peachy-skin finish it leaves. It’s a product that truly transforms your skin quality.”
