Meet the Maryam Nassir Zadeh Muse with a Supernatural Skin Care Routine
Maryam Nassir Zadeh, who is presenting her Spring 2018 collection this afternoon, has become just as known for her infamous candy-colored sandals as the crowd of multi-hyphenates she surrounds herself with, all of whom match their eclectic ensembles with an equally alluring approach to beauty. Just look to Vice’s Hailey Gates who, with the help of her multi-cultural, hip-grazing braids, has infiltrated some of the world’s most politically charged regions for her show “States of Undress.” Or, native New Yorker Camilla Deterre, whose prominent under-eye circles have become something of a cool-girl calling card. Or Nane Feist, a German model with tawny lengths, piercing blue eyes, and a supernatural skin routine worth stealing.
“Skin care is a really weak spot of mine,” says Feist over the phone from London where she’s on set for a forthcoming ad campaign. “It doesn’t matter where I am. Those 20 minutes in the morning and at night are a routine of well-being.” For the Cologne-born, New York City-based yoga enthusiast, who’s known for overhauling her friends’ regimens (and complexions, she says), each day begins with One Love Organics’ detoxifying Enzyme Cleansing Oil, pure rosewater used as a toner, and a blend of oils, which she massages onto her face with the help of a jade roller—all of which are sourced from her local health food store. “I go through the back of the packaging and see if I like the ingredients,” she says, recalling her penchant for products that include calming chamomile, antioxidant-rich rosehip oil, plumping chia seed, and vitamins A, C, and E. Her all-natural supply is then supplemented with a creamy face mask from either Dr. Hauschka or Sisley: “I love to walk around the city all day [with one on] because you don’t really see it on your face.”
It’s true, skincare and makeup go hand-in-hand in Feist’s world. “Over the years, what I’ve noticed is that if I stick to my daily [skincare] routine, I don’t have to use much makeup,” she explains. What cosmetics Feist does use, though, must be multi-functional. “I have two items in my bag, and I can use them to touch up my whole face,” she says of RMS’ Un Cover-Up, a lightweight concealer that contains hydrating coconut oil, and Make Beauty’s Universal Stick, a pale pink stain that doubles as both a blush and lip tint. As for Feist’s trick of the trade? “I always use a brow gel to shape my eyebrows, and I always curl my eyelashes. Always.”
