“Before there were designers ready to use, all ladies rich in Venezuela would go to a beautiful fabric store and make a tailor that made them a personalized appearance. My grandmother was a high -end luxury store; Valentino was a magical thing, but I did not necessarily think about the fashion option, so I assumed that the most academic design department.
I was a bit disenchanted by fashion at that time. Instagram began playing an important role in people’s lives, and I felt that fashion had begun to become something that was more for Instagram than for real life. Trends began to move very fast. Only the great fashion houses that I loved began to feel like a quick fashion for me. I started buying vintage because I lost interest in everything. In the end it turned out that, the most difficult part to buy vintage was to find good basic concepts, the essentials you need to assemble an outfit. When American Apparel fell in 2017, he really left this void and wanted to fill it with clothes that felt more like ‘I’. That is why I started Gil Rodríguez in 2018, my brand of simple, but high essential elements. In addition, after having worked in AA in this very holistic environment, my office was literally on the factory floor, I had learned a lot, so starting my own company felt as the next natural step.
Skin care
It was a great drug addict in the early 20 years, but I developed perioral dermatitis when I was 25 years old and I had it once sprayed, which means that I have to be very careful with the products I put on my skin. Use less help, I am more concentrated in what a product does not compare with what a product does, but more than, working in my internal health, sleeping well, moisturizing, the biggest difference.
I use the Tata Harper regenerating cleaner in the morning, which was a ding ding until I heard Tata in a podcast and Shee recommended using in the morning. His skin is ‘regenerating’ during the night, so he wants to get rid of that accumulation. I worried that my skin was too sensitive because some people say you shouldn’t clean in the morning if you have a pod, but I honestly believe that my skin has been seen since I started doing it. It looks healthier. At night, I love it is the clinical cleaning complex. It is very neutral and does not let my skin feel stripped in any way.
In terms of specific treatments, I began to use the Trifala de Sachi pigmentation concealer. I have some freckles and pigmentation of the sun, and a friend recommends it for sensitive skin. I get nervous by introducing new products in my routine, but Harbor had some whale. Andrea Amez, a friend who turns out to be an incredible facialist here in Los Angeles, and I have a leg with my dermatitis. She recommended the intense reprisal serum of Dr. Loretta to calm my skin. It feels like a hug for your face. I have five bottles in my house right now. [Laughs]
When it comes to facial creams, I love Tata Harper’s soothing cream. I started using it when I was pregnant, and I loved how neutral it was, not too heavy or light. I use it in the morning, but at night, I love the lact of ruth skin care. I discovered it when I left American Apparel. I had already started my line, so I was doing random concerts to earn money. I obtained a modeling concert for a skin care campaign, but I had a lot of capsules around my mouth. It literally hurts to smile, and I remember telling a friend who would have to retire from work. She told me about Ruths, which was a facial place in Melrose that does not exist, and the facial gave me the lact cream and stepped on to put it five times a day. In 48 hours, my skin was completely clear.
For sunscreen, I have the leg using Eltamd for years. I use the versions dyed and without tintinadas: Notheren leaves a strange residue on my face. If I want a little more coverage, I use the sunscreen of Iris and Romeo. The consistency is super nice. SAIE’S SLIP TINT SPF 35 – I USE Shadow 4-It’s really good, but it’s a little more makeup.
I am not a great toner person, because I must be because I like the idea of making sure that there is no waste on my face after cleaning, but I forget. I maintain a pink toner bottle of Thayers, but above all because it is the only one I remember buying because it is sold in my supermarket. I use it perhaps once every two weeks.
My NOFACE is another thing I tend to forget the years, but I am using it daily. After giving birth, I felt “compressed.” [Laughs] My neck felt three inches shorter in some way. My position was off, which did not help my jaw. I started doing many facial massages, focusing on lengthening my neck and undoing all the tension I held. That began my trip with devices like my NOFACE and Gua Sha: mine is from Garden Club in Palm Heights.
My greatest expenditure for skin care is PRFM, which means platelet rich fibrin matrix. I get it in the things we do. They draw the blood and extract the platelets, which are combined with other ingredients to create growth factors that are injected into the face to help with fine lines and volume and stimulate bell. It is basically next -generation PRP, or platelet rich plasma.
Body
As for the body, I love to dry the brush before showering every day. I have tried a lot of them and the GOOP is the only one I like because the sows are more rigid than the ethers. When you have finished using it, you literally feel that all cells in your body are anthilling. It makes me feel alive, did you think the first time I used it? Oh. I have noticed a reduction in cellulite in its own way, but I see dry brushing as a more or holistic practice. It is one of the many things I do to take care of myself. Nécessarry’s retinol helped a lot with pilaris keratosis on the back of my legs and general irritation in my butt. And I also love rubbing with the euphoria body of Flamingo Estate. It smells so fucking well. As I cannot use essential oils on my face, when I can use them in my body, I have a beautiful garden or Eden feeling. [Laughs]
MAKE UP
In the day to day, I only use my dyed sunscreen. If I have a meeting, I will use some UN RMS cover -up concealer 22.5. I have a probable leg that I use it for about 10 years, and I really discovered it in the brightness. Erin Wasson said on the upper shelf: ‘It is the most surprising beauty product ever created. It’s like skin. “If I want more coverage, Armani’s luminous silk corrector is really good and still looks natural.
RMS suspended Lip2cheek once and brought it back, except that they did not bring my favorite tone, Diaboliqueback. I have accumulated my last pot. The product literally looks like three blood in the pot, but when you put it on your cheeks, it really gives you the appearance of blood that rushes to your face. It is so natural and highly pigmented. I am trying desperately to find a hoax if someone has a suggestion. Chanel’s Rouge Coco Baume in Fall for me It is probably the closest I have found. It is meean for your lips, but you can use it everywhere for that look ‘just-lush’. Speaking of lips, Victoria Beckham’s lip definitely in No. 04 It is the only lip eyeliner that does not make me see crazy. I don’t know if the color of my lip is strange or something, but many lip eyeliners seem crazy. Finding good tones for my lips is difficult in general, honestly, many nudes look strange. Chanel liquid dust lipstick in Vanguard It is perfect for me, but it was also discontinued. It is so sad.
Recently I obtained the multiple of Ilia in At last. It is a perfect color. I used to have the shadow Tom Ford and Illuminate, I like it Intensity 1“I forgot it until recently.” It is still a classic, and so good if you, like me, do not really know how to contour. The RMS Buriti Bronzer is similar because it is creamy. I always take it with me on vacation and put it in my cheekbones, eyes, everywhere. It looks very good when you sweat. Ah, and Chanel’s Fleurs de Printemps blushed and highlight [discontinued] It is perhaps the quite fresh pink blush that I have found.
I love a brilliant eye, and I have been using the Chanel’s multipurpose brightness lever in Golden Light For years. I have multiples, it’s so perfect. It gives this son of ‘law’, brilliant note, and a tanned appearance. You need very little, so that you do not end with a sense of inauguration in your eyes. And then he fills them and the roujje eyelashes is the best for the shape of my eye, and I do not pinch. I continue with a sliding or inimitable Rímel of Chanel. It is dramatic, but it is not too heavy: it leaves the correct amount of product in the tabs.
Hair
Naturally, I have very, very dark hair, and I have had to accept what it is because hair is a commitment. Even haircuts feel like a great commitment to me. I only cut my hair once in my life, and regretted it during the six years I Tok to cultivate it. Long hair is just “me.” But I receive simple James Burks ornaments. He lives in New York, which is really unfortunate for me, but he taught me how to make my own ornaments for those moments that I cannot contact him.
It used to have a lot of seborrheic dermatitis, and the shampoo and the nêcessarry romero conditioner have an excellent bone to clean my scalp, but also maintaining their balanced reason. They also smell divine. From time to time, I put on Crown’s permission to affair my hair, which gets quite curly. Nor does it help to be extremely dry. And maybe once a month, if I have an event, I use the exfoliant of cleaning Crown Affair. Recently I discovered that Rōz – Ive leg trying the base mask, the suede of the milk and the Santa Lucía -style oil, and honestly, I do not believe that my hair saw or smell better.
I also love Crown’s dry shampoo. I think the brush applicator is very intelligent because before this product appeared, I was literally putting loose dust in my hair with a makeup brush that is not to spray a spray, which would leave a strange waste. The finishing gel also changes the game, especially if you have curled hair. You can use it for a super slippery appearance and brush it the same day without your hair feeling dirty. I don’t know how they did.
Nails and fragrance
I see Ellie in Kure Spa for Gel-X manicures. Three out of five times, I go through the Red Nails Opi Big Apple. Sometimes I mix it with a blue lapis or a handle when I travel. I want my nails to seem that I am in a nail polish advertisement of the 70s, so I always go through the nails of almonds and oval.
As for perfumes, there are very few to live a full day. I think the problem is that I am extremely demanding. Even if I like a perfume when I smell it for the first time, once I put it in my body, I am like, “take it out of me.” That said, I have used the 01 molecule for years. I really don’t smell it about myself, but I spray it on a shirt, I find it intoxicating. It is no different from Glossier You, who also really subtle. I have also used it forever. I love the prodigious dry oil of Nuxe Huile because it is very multiple. Is your skin dry? Put on airs. Why to smell well? Rub a little. I picked it up from my grandmother, who uses it every day. “
