Anouk Smulders is not a fan of thick layers of foundation and big clouds of powder. The stunning blonde prefers to go through life as naturally as possible and well, give us such a face and we wouldn't do otherwise. With a professional photographer as a husband, a new portrait is always lurking, so how does Anouk ensure she always looks picture-worthy? Amayzine.com asked. 

Morning Ritual

In the shower, I sometimes wash my face only with water and sometimes with a cleansing gel. I think the gel should foam, then I feel like it cleans better. After showering, I use a serum, eye cream, and a day cream.
All my skincare products are from the brand La Colline. I really swear by that. Furthermore, I go to the skin institute once every two months Residence de beauté in Chaam. A good friend of mine, Tom Sebastian, recommended it. He would kill me if I ever had anything injected. So I don't do that, you know!
During the day, I only put on some blush and mascara. Especially very natural.

Eyebrows or lashes

By far my eyelashes. I have an obsession with eyebrows, I even have a blood hatred for them. I hate dark eyebrows. Makeup artists who know me a bit well know that all too well.

Red carpet essential

If it’s really, really red carpet I go through the whole car wash. I have my nails and my feet done (at Soap Treatment Store). Furthermore, I go to the hairdresser (roots are not done) and have a makeup artist do my makeup.

Dior Capture Totale is really an addiction for me. One drop works wonders. It removes a bit of a red nose or a small pigment spot.

Beauty confessions

I don't like women who are very made up during the day. How do you do that in the evening when you have a nice party? For me, it really has to add something. During the day, I put on as little as possible. In the evening, I go all out.

Most recent beauty purchase

Kilian, a lovely scent from Skins Cosmetics. Received from my husband Edwin. I always get a lot of compliments about this scent.

Favorite nail polish brand

Absolutely Essie. They always have such beautiful colors.

Favorite perfume

I'm not very attached to one perfume, I even sometimes use men's scents. I have a whole assortment of fragrances in the bathroom. Every morning I pick one out. Right now, my favorite is that new addition Kilian.

Never leave home without

Rosebud salve  I always have in my pocket. Also very handy for the kids if they have a scrape or dry spots.
