Legendary supermodel Linda Evangelista has opened up on her makeup routine, detailing the products she uses to stay looking her best. The model gushes about Dolce & Gabbana’s makeup line in particular, explaining how beneficial she believes their primer is because it also serves as an SPF, moisturiser and more. She also likes to use their foundation and adds a few other key products for some colour. She commented on the makeup she usually applies:

”When I got the Dolce & Gabbana foundations and primer, I actually cut back on a couple of steps. The Sheer Radiance Primer is what I use to moisturize now–it’s a really good multi-tasking product. It has SPF 30 and long-term benefits, so it’s a no-brainer. After the primer, moisturizer, and sunscreen go on, I just put on a couple of drops of the Dolce & Gabbana foundation. I pat it in with my fingers while my skin is still moist, just to even out my skin tone. Then I do a little mascara, a little shadow in the socket with a brush, a little blush, lip gloss, and go.”

She likes to add even more products when she’s preparing for the red carpet and jokes that she uses “a hundred more” when she’s getting ready for a big appearance:

”But I add about a hundred more products if I’m going somewhere with a red carpet. Everybody likes a little help every once and a while.”

She has learnt how to apply her own makeup and style her own hair over the years, while Linda also likes to groom her own nails:

”I can do my hair and makeup myself. I have this tray with all my makeup on it so I can bring it anywhere the light is good. I also like doing my own nails; I find it therapeutic. I push my cuticles back and keep the tips short and clean.”
