When I was a teenager, I used to come to Selfridges, and it was very swanky and overwhelming, and I'd think, 'Wow, this is amazing.' I would never have imaged having my own area in the beauty hall! It's incredible.

Often, I do translatlantic overnight flights from New York, and when I land, I have to do my eyes - I feel weird without it.

I'm always helping out girlfriends, and then I'm wondering, who's going to look after me?

Tech companies approach you to hold something in a picture and then say, 'This is what I want you to write on your Twitter.' There are people who get away with that and look really cool doing it, but I'm just not one of them.

I've been learning French a bit through my work with Longchamp, and I've been in France quite a lot. And I really love how they express themselves. I especially love when something is untranslatable.

I really like action movies. The 'Die Hard' franchise. And the 'Bourne' movies.

I'm bad at trends. Just wear what you want and what suits you.

Dark lipstick on me is both a risk and a disaster.

If it's comfy, it probably doesn't look good.

I grew up in a miniature village in the middle of the countryside in England, quite secluded from the outside world. I was always enamored by the fashion industry.

I did TV for a bit, and somewhere along the line, I started writing a column for 'The Independent' newspaper in England, and now I write features for 'British Vogue.'

It was once people began taking my picture every time I left the house - because it's an easy fashion shot - that I started getting a bit weirder about going out without any makeup on, and I think that's when I started wearing foundation every day.
