Aucklander Pia Naera (23) designs clothes for her fashion label Pia Boutique.
My beauty philosophy is…
Lots of sleep and exercise. Lately I’ve been finding it really easy to jump out of bed for classes at the gym.
The skincare products I can’t live without are…
The Medoflowers series. These New Zealand-made products are totally natural and really easy on my skin. I love how they don’t feel like I’ve got layers caked on, but still help keep my skin fresh.
My haircare secret is…
My Tangle Teezer brush, Shimmer Shine by Kevin Murphy and his Young Again Masque – my hair can be a frizzball if I’m not patient and kind to it.
The must-have products in my make-up bag are…
My MAC Pro Longwear Concealer, Candy Yum-yum lipstick by MAC, and my Natio Brow Kit. These are the three things I can’t go anywhere without.
My favourite beauty treat is…
A facial at Sento Beauty Therapy, next door to our store in Parnell. The staff there are really friendly and helpful. If I feel like some relaxation I pop down and leave there feeling completely refreshed.
The best thing my mother taught me about beauty was…
To get lots of sleep and to be kind to your body. Every girl has the right to feel beautiful, which is a huge part of how and why I design clothes.
