Olivia Palermo On Her Health, Style & Beauty Secrets

If there's one woman who always manages to top our both our best dressed AND beauty crush lists, it's Olivia Palermo.

She's always immaculately turned out, without a hair out of place, but has fun with her look - think metallic smokey eyes and bold nails on the red carpet - and her glossy hair is the stuff of dreams.

We caught up with her exclusively to talk about her second range for Ciate (which launches today! Visit Ciate for more details) as their creative director, what keeps her skin flawless, and what gets her in the mood to go out...

Grazia Daily: We estimate there’s thousands of women taking pictures of you to their hairdressers – what products do you use to keep your hair so swishy and glossy?

OP: "I wash my hair every morning to keep it clean, and I use a good moisturizing shampoo (we love Living Proof's Restore Shampoo) which keeps it light and manageable."

GD: How did you choose your new shades and products for your AW15 collection with Ciate?

OP: "I took inspiration from New York for my AW collection. New England in autumn is the main inspiration as there are always lots of rich colors, particularly the shades of violet which I love."

Who was your makeup inspiration for your wedding? What look did you go for?

OP: "I wanted to be comfortable and keep it simple. It’s important to look like yourself on your wedding day and not go over the top with makeup so I went for a very natural look."

GD: And for your hair?

OP: "It was a beautiful, warm day so a high ponytail helped to keep me cool."

GD: What does a normal day in food look like for you?

GD: Are you a real gym bunny or do you love yoga? Talk us through your exercise regime.
