As Giuliano’s Editorial Director, I get to spend my days surrounded by amazingly talented individuals, and witness some pretty magical creative collaborations. As a self-proclaimed beauty product junkie, I’m in heaven, spending time with top glam crews, and admiring their coveted kits. These talented people are directly responsible for creating some of the most iconic, drool-worthy looks, and keeping celebrities and models looking fabulous. They know all the tips and tricks and their kits are filled with the best tried and true goodies. These awesome humans have shown me how to fix terrible under-eye circles (when you love your work…you tend to work a lot – we don’t sleep much around here) and perked my hair up on the worst of hair days. I’ve been toying with doing a weekly spotlight on our blog introducing some of our favorite hair and makeup artists, and sharing their favorite products, tips, and tricks with you, and with the new year upon us, what better time than the present?

The holidays are over, we are now in the thick of winter, dreaming about sunny, warm days (ok, we get those often in Los Angeles but we ARE having a colder than usual winter) and hunting for ways to fix our tired, drab winter hair and skin while sticking to our New Year’s resolutions of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Meet Mara Schiavetti – Green Hair Stylist with Cloutier Remix and owner of the website A Green Beauty. We had the opportunity to work with Mara recently on our “winter wonderland” inspired shoot with celebrity Evanna Lynch (best known for her work in Harry Potter) and I was so inspired by her approach to green beauty that I felt she was perfect for the first Beauty Spotlight of the new year.

Below is Mara’s response to her favorite must-have products during the winter (and check out some of the shots from our shoot too!).

All the best,
