“A great beauty hack is to count when you use an eyelash curler.”
My makeup artist Frankie [Boyd] likes to count when he uses an eyelash curler. He’ll count “1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10” as that way you have an even curl on either side. Shu Uemura’s Eyelash Curler always opens your eyes for a mid-day freshen up. My skin can’t live without The Outset Firming Vegan Collagen Prep Serum. It mixes perfectly with a drop of concealer for all over brightness plus coverage. I also always have the YSL Touché Eclat Illuminating Pen in my makeup bag as it’s the best pick-me-up anytime.

“Becoming a mom is my outset moment.”
Certainly the biggest change in my life is becoming a mom [Scarlett has an 8-year-old daughter, whom she shares with ex-husband Romain Dauriac, and a 1-year-old son with Saturday Night Live comedian Colin Jost]. I can’t imagine a bigger lifestyle change. It changed my entire perspective on where my priorities are, what I want to spend my time on, ageing, my relationship with my own parents and my relationship with my partner. That to me was the biggest new beginning, I think.

“Finding that the community on social media, which has this shared interest in self-care and skincare, is really supportive, welcoming and non-judgmental has been a really refreshing discovery for me.”
It’s different than going out there and having to share very personal aspects of your family life or what you do on your off time and all that stuff. I feel like there’s a lot of judgment and potential negativity around that. It feels invasive in a way that this doesn’t because I’m not putting myself out there going, “Look at me, look at what I’m doing in my everyday life or whatever.” It’s more like having a conversation with a community of people that have either the same struggle or interest in skincare. I love that, and being able to do a 10-day challenge to see how your skin’s transforming – it’s exciting. It’s a very positive experience where it could be kind of terrifying.

“My biggest beauty disaster was bleaching my hair right before filming Lost in Translation.”
I was like 17. Right before I was doing Lost In Translation our director Sofia Coppela wanted me to have blonde hair and I had red hair at the time. I went to get the colour changed and I had never gone through this process before. They bleached all the colour out of my hair. They were washing it out and they kept lifting the colour and I lost half of my hair. It was very sad.

“Setting boundaries makes me feel most empowered.”
Really for me, this is something that I continue to work on. When I understand not just what I want, but what I need out of my relationships with people or in my relationship with myself, that makes me feel like I’m in control in a good way. It’s underrated but highly important.

“I get asked a lot what I think about cosmetic procedures and if it’s something I would ever do.”
Honestly, I really think whatever makes you comfortable, whatever makes you feel most confident, I don’t judge anybody. I think you have to do what makes you feel like the best version of yourself.
