Blake-Lively-for-GUCCI-Premiere

Did you see ‘Deconstructing Gucci Première’ on page 130 of our October issue? It’s where ELLE’s beauty editor, Lynette Botha, dishes on the Lovely Miss Lively.  Blake Lively hot news and not just because of her recent wedding to actor Ryan Reynolds. She’s the face of Gucci Première and as promised in the magazine, here is our interview with her on being the face of Gucci Première, her beauty icons and her fragrance preferences.

How did you feel about being chosen as the face of Gucci Première?

I can’t believe I was asked to represent the premiere fragrance, which is now their signature fragrance. It is a true honour.

What are your thoughts on the fragrance?

It reminds me of the playfulness of my childhood but has the strength of a woman. It has power.

My mother and Katharine Hepburn.

A fragrance is different things to different women. What is it to you?

It’s strong, it’s sensual, it’s empowering.

What is the one piece of beauty advice you believe in?

Less is more…

What does beauty mean to you?

Beauty is about being yourself. When I have too much make-up on I feel as if I am wearing a mask. It’s about balance.

Who has had the biggest influence on your beauty routine/regimen?

My mom. She always came up with crazy home remedies. I remember how she put oil on the bottom half of her long (blond) hair so that it would not dry out when she shampooed it. She was and still is a very resourceful and smart woman.

Is there anything you always wear, no matter what?

Mascara and lipgloss.

How do you keep your skin looking so great?

Honestly, the best thing for me is washing it with salt water. So just take me on lots of vacations by the sea and my skin is good. I guess you can say going to the Maldives is my skin secret!

Do you change your fragrance based on your mood or the time of day?

Usually I wear lighter fragrances during the day and stronger ones at night. What I think is remarkable about Gucci Première is that it strikes the perfect balance between the soft and strong notes, masculine and feminine. The orange blossom and leather add weight to it. It is a powerful fragrance.
