We met with Kasey recently, and chatted to her about Coachella and a few of her favourite beauty tricks.
Nude by Nature (NBN): What style of make-up look are you thinking of creating at Coachella?
Kasey: A 5kg sprinkle of glitter on top of glitter with a side of cut crease and a dash of winged liner.
NBN: Which beauty essentials do you pack every time you travel?
Kasey: Moisturiser and lip balm - especially when flying. It’s so important to keep your skin hydrated so you don’t feel like a dried up prune.
NBN: Have you spotted any beauty trends that you think are going to be really big in 2018?
Kasey: The boy beat. I saw Gina Shkeda do a video on it recently. It’s like a no makeup-makeup routine but instead of covering up your “flaws”, you accentuate them. Think flushed cheeks, bushy brows, freckles etc. It’s effortlessly stunning and I’ve been seeing so many people doing it. Minimal makeup is definitely having its moment over full coverage.
NBN: What do you think are a couple of the most important beauty products that every Aussie woman should own?
Kasey: A good SPF, moisturiser and lip balm are essential. Make-up can only do so much so you have to look after your skin first and foremost. I have super sensitive skin so I like to keep my skincare minimal and stay out of the sun.
NBN: What’s your favourite Nude by Nature product, and why?
Kasey: The Soft Focus Illuminator is stunning on the skin even without any other makeup on!
NBN: What are you looking forward to most about your trip to Coachella?
Kasey: Experiencing the atmosphere of the festival and spending more time with the beautiful souls I’ll be travelling with. They’re going to make the trip magical!
NBN: Are there any bands and performers that you definitely won’t miss?
Kasey: I think I’m most keen to see Eminem perform. He’s just iconic, and it will be so surreal to see him in person. Might even eat some M&M’s while I watch!
NBN: When you’re chilling out, what’s your favourite social media platform to scroll through?
Kasey: Instagram if I’m just casually scrolling. I follow this dog Teddy who is a total doppelganger of my dog Lilly, so I’m always looking at his photos. YouTube also if I have time to sit down and relax. I lose hours of my life watching Dr. Phil YouTube videos. I’m so addicted!
NBN: How about other blogs and social accounts / influencers that you follow and love?
Kasey: I love Jamie Genevieve for beauty/lifestyle. She’s so edgy. And, for makeup inspo I love Melissa Spiteri.
NBN: Last question! Are you able to share any of your 2018 plans that you are super excited about?
Kasey: I’m going to Coachella, baby! Everything else is a blur.
We think you’re going to have a brilliant time at Coachella! Thanks Kasey.
