As a good fan of makeup artists, I am happy with the opportunities I have to interview them. I was in New York last year to talk to Gucci Westman, one of the most powerful people in this field nowadays, for a profile I wrote on the March edition of Vogue about her (I put it in the end of the post!)

Gucci is super funky! She’s married to one of the owners of Rag & Bone, BFF & loved by many actresses (Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz), always does covers and editorials for Vogue, does the makeup for a lot of fashion shows, like Oscar de la Renta, and she is also the global artistic director for Revlon – meaning, she creates new products and the seasonal color collections.

Of course I took the chance to ask about her favorite products – but the ones she uses on her, and not when she’s doing makeup on others! I always like to know this, it’s a great way to get to know new things…

. Nearly Naked Pressed Powder – Revlon (she loves the finish, that is matte, but not heavy)
. PhotoReady Bronzer – Revlon (Gucci is a super fan of the healthy/tanned/natural look)
. ColorBurst Lip Butter – Revlon (one of her many creations, also fits the line of natural makeup she likes so much – I love the texture of this balm/lipstick, I already mentioned it here)
. Rose Day Cream – Dr. Haushcka (German brand with natural products that several celebrities love – this is Gucci’s favorite moisturizer…)
. Colostrum Cream – Environ (… together with this one!)
. The Lip Balm – La Mer (I don’t even need to say it’s already on my list of “lip balms to try”)

Notice that I love asking others, but I find it practically impossible for me to answer this same question… Who knows one day I make a top 6 of my all time favorites, but until then I use Loving Right Now to talk about, well, what I’m currently loving hahaha!
