Our sunny interview with emma laird

By&nbspEURONEWS Published on 03/07/2018 - 18:52 GMT+2•Updated 01/03/2019 - 14:31 GMT+1 First scouted at Leeds festival by MODELS1 back in 2014, British actress and model Emma Laird has

come a long way. Recent editorial include Grazia France, Elle Croatia and Glamour Mexico, campaigns for Skinnydip and Benetton, and appearances in SLEEK FASHION FILMS. She is particularly

active on INSTAGRAM where she shares behind the scenes pictures, quirky makeup videos and her interest for sharks and oceans. We grabbed a little bit of her time to discover where she will

spend her summer, favourite eateries and beauty routine. Q. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS THIS SUMMER? A road trip through the States. My friend turns 21 this year so we’re planning a road trip

starting in Salt Lake City, going to Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and then up the West Coast. I can’t wait! I also have a lot of friends in LA and it’s pretty much always summer there. My

favourite place for food is probably CROSSROADS or CAFE GRATITUDE. For a chill, out of the way place to socialise I’d always say [SOHO

HOUSE](HTTPS://WWW.SOHOHOUSE.COM/HOUSES/LITTLE-BEACH-HOUSE-MALIBU ON MALIBU)! Q. WHAT'S YOUR SUMMER BEAUTY ROUTINE? I ALWAYS have SPF in my moisturiser, even in the winter because my

skin is pale and sensitive. But during summer I mix it with another facial sun cream for extra protection. If I’m on holiday and swimming a lot I try to use shampoo as little as possible so

it doesn’t completely dry out with swimming every day. Coconut oil is always a favourite as a moisturiser to sensitive skin like mine, you just have to be careful of leakage because it melts

during summer and can get messy. I hate wearing heavy make up when it’s warm so I only do a layer of black mascara, clear brow gel and lip balm. Nothing on my face, I just feels too nasty.

And no moisturizer at night. _LIVING IT TOP PICKS_ _[GLOSSIER](: HTTPS://WWW.GLOSSIER.COM/PRODUCTS/INVISIBLE-SHIELD) Invisible Shield daily sunscreen SPF30 (left); IGK Hair Direct Flight

MORE ECO-CONSCIOUS LIFE THIS SUMMER? I am always carrying my reusable iced coffee cup and metal straw with me. I drink so many iced soy lattes in this heat! I refuse straws when I’m out with

my friends which is something I think everyone should be doing now. It’s so easy to say no to plastic when you’re out! _LIVING IT TOP PICKS_ _FRANK GREEN__Original Smart Cup

few other must haves are sunglasses (duh), goggles (if it’s a beach holiday so I can open water dive and enjoy the scenes underwater) and a book! Of course, I pack my phone but I try to

detach myself from it if a relaxing holiday is what I’m looking for. I want to see the scenery and watch the ocean waves crash against some yellow sand as I drink a sparkling water and lime

on my balcony, not see what people are posting on Instagram! Header Picture: Credit Aaron Hurley.
