Taylor Hill, the 23-year-old Victoria's Secret Angel and face of Ralph Lauren Romance, still sees her favorite hairstylist—her mom. In this month's Beauty Diary, Hill spills all the details of her wellness and beauty routine.
"When I’m not working, I just wear BB cream, mascara, and lip balm," says Hill of her typical makeup routine.
Hill's Beauty Philosophy
“I’m such a low-key, casual person," Hill says of her approach to beauty. "[My mom taught me that] makeup should enhance what you have naturally—it’s not something you should feel you need to hide behind. That mentality has been really helpful, especially working in the industry as a teenager. You start to wonder if it’s okay to just look like yourself.”
“I like that it’s so light and refreshing," Hill says of the scent. For the model, going back home to Denver, Colorado is a form of instant aromatherapy. "When I go back home—and take a really deep breath—I relax. The mountain air brings me calm," she says.
Her Skin Guru
Hill trusts Dr. Jason Diamond, a plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, with caring for her skin. “Kim Kardashian Instagrammed him the other day but I was seeing him before he blew up," she says. When she's not in his office, she cares for her skin with at-home tools: “I bought a dermal roller on Amazon. It’s supposed to open your pores and help products absorb."
“Girl, I struggle with acne! It’s a constant battle," says the model. Her favorite cleanser is Cetaphil because “it’s good for sensitive skin.” But the one ingeredient she really counts on is Vitamin E. “I take the vitamin, pop it open, and apply the gel. It helps with my acne scars," she adds.
All About Hair
Hill's go-to hairstyle is a bun. “My hair is like a lion’s mane! I just put it up. And I’ll use plain rubber bands if I can’t find anything else," she says. While she's worked with the top hairstylists in the world, Hill only lets one person chop her hair: “My mom. She cuts it in our garage in Colorado. She’s a hairdresser and worked in a salon for 30 years.”
Tweezerman Stainless Steel Slant Tweezer All About Brows
Hill's signature feature are her lush eyebrows. "My mom refused to let me wax them. She thought I looked like Brooke Shields from The Blue Lagoon and I was like, ‘Who is that?’” Her go-to tool is Tweezerman tweezers. “I only pluck between my brows," she says.
Hill's Fitness Routine
“I was a gymnast growing up, so I’ve always been an extreme athlete. I tried yoga and was bored. I wanted to do a back flip," says Hill. Her favorite way to workout? “CrossFit changed my life," she adds. "You push yourself, and that’s when you see results." Her routine gets more intense in the weeks leading up to fashion week and the VS show: "I train at least four or five times a week. To prepare for Fashion Week, I exercise for an hour twice a day.” But she takes recovery just as seriously. “I like to take a bath with Epsom salts," she notes. "It’s really good for muscles and helps you sleep better.”
“My hair is an unmanageable beast! I wish someone would tell me what to do with it," Hill says. She's not loyal to one shampoo brand. "I was using Bed Head, then Living Proof, and even Suave. It gets the job done.” Her favorite conditioner is Pantene's leave-on Detangling Milk.
Hill's Favorite Breakfast
Hill's go-to breakfast is overnight oats.“I’ll make a big batch and bring it to work. It’s easy for me to eat when sitting in hair and makeup.” And when she's not working, she's all about Postmates and chill. “My boyfriend [Michael Stephen Shank] and I order Postmates and watch Seinfeld," she adds.
