Leigh Lezark Skin, Makeup, Hair and Beauty Tips

DJ, model, and current Chanel ambassador Leigh Lezark is the latest It Girl, and everyone (especially me) is loving her dark, gothic looks. She recently spilled to ELLE UK about her favorite beauty products, and of course I had to type it up for you!

Though Leigh admits she doesn’t always follow the number one makeup rule and remove all her makeup every night, she does practice a very strict skincare regime: ”To make up for bad habits, I use an exfoliator and cleansing masks once or twice a week to keep my skin fresh. Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque by Kiehl’s is ideal.”

For the nights when she does remember to remove her makeup, “I’d recommend using moisturizer as a makeup remover. I’ve been using Beauty Fluid by Olay for years.”

Leigh’s finishes off her makeup talk by her favorite product, blush. ”I always wear blush to lift my complexion. At the moment, I’m using Les Tissages de Chanel in Tweed Sienna, by Chanel along my cheekbones, then adding a pop of Powder Blush in Narcisse, also by Chanel.”

And though Leigh prides herself in the attention she puts to her makeup, her famous locks does not get much. Leigh admits, “my hair gets lots of attention from the press, but not from me.” She dyes the roots every 3 weeks (she’s a natural blonde and hates when the roots come out because “it looks as if I’m going bald”) and does some mild styling.

Her favorite hair products are Stay Cool Heat Defense by Charles Worthington Front Row and her styling trick is to “blow dry my hair upside down”, which is a great tip – blowing your hair upside down is also great for volume, as I also wrote on my post 8 Ways to Get More Volume in Your Hair.

To finish it off, “High Gloss Serum by Charles Worthington Front Row is brilliant for adding shine to hair.”

And of course, being a Chanel ambassador Leigh gets tons of benefits – the front row to all its wonderful products: “I’ve recently discovered Beige by Chanel. I love the way its warm, honey notes linger.”

Last but not one of Leigh’s beauty tips: “I really think people need to comb their brows – but don’t over tweeze them. You’ll be a slave to a shape that’s not your own.” (For some tips on how to get your over-tweezed eyebrows back to their original state, check out this post.)

Do you like Leigh’s style? I want to raid her wardrobe! What do you think of her beauty tips, do you agree with them?
