© @sophiatuxfordHow would you describe your beauty philosophy?
Sophia and Cinzia: Being online for over 10 years, we have learnt to love our skin. As much as we love getting glam for the stage, we also love vlogging bare-faced and feel more confident now than we ever have before.
How has your relationship with beauty evolved over time?
Sophie and Cinzia: As we’ve grown up, we’ve become more comfortable in our own skin, meaning we now view makeup as something fun to enhance our natural beauty as opposed to always feeling the need to be in full glam. It’s not an everyday must for us anymore, we love to embrace our natural skin.
© @kanelongdenWhat beauty lessons have you learnt from each other?
Sophia: Cinzia is the makeup queen, so I’m always learning from her. She often does my eye makeup on tour, which I love, and she always knows the best products to buy.
Cinzia: Sophia is always hair goals, her blowdrys are the best. She’s taught me all the Dyson Air Wrap tricks, so now we both can't live without it.
What is your morning skincare routine, and what products do you use?
Sophia: My go-to is Kate Sommerville's Goat Milk Cleanser or the CeraVe Hydra Cleanser. Then followed by Drunk Elephant's Eye Cream. For SPF, I always reach for Ultra Violette's SPF50. Also, my dermatologist has recently got me on TebiSkin Cera-Boost Face Cream, which I’m loving.
Cinzia: I also love Kate Sommerville, but I go for the Foaming Cleanser in the morning. Then, Caudalie's Vino-Perfect Serum and Khiels Avo Eye Cream. I also reach for the Ultra Violette SPF50.
Sophia and Cinzia: Also, we both cannot go without Summer Friday's lip balm in Vanilla and Mint.

Cinzia: Always put on a thick layer of Kiehl's Avocado Eye Cream and the Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum.
What are your favourite makeup products for creating a natural, everyday look?
Sophia and Cinzia: We go for Kylie Jenner's skin tint or Charlotte Tilbury's Flawless Filter for our base. To conceal our favourite is Hourglass' Vanish Airbrush Concealer in Oat and Cotton. For some colour, any of the Haus Labs Blushes. YSL Lash Clash is our go-to mascara to lengthen the lashes. Then, Kylie Jenner's Lip Liner topped with Summer Friday's Lip Balm's. hourglass concealer in oat and cotton

Cinzia: Sabrina Carpenter is the moment!
Do you have a special beauty look or product for events?
Sophia and Cinzia: On tour, we’ve been wearing the exact same look every night. K-Beauty brand, Flower Knows' O2 liquid shimmer glitter is perfect for our eyes. Hair is also the moment for us at events - we love working with our stylist, Mark Hayhurst, to glam up any look.
Do you have any tips for achieving a long-lasting makeup look that stays fresh throughout the day?
Sophia and Cinzia: We swear by the Charlotte Tilbury Air Brush Flawless Filter Setting Spray and the One Size Beauty setting spray also - it’s genuinely like hair spray for the face. We also love the Huda Beauty's Easy Bake Setting Powder in the shade Cherry Blossom Cake and Banana Bread.
What is your night time skincare routine?
Sophia: My nighttime routine is almost identical to morning however, I’ve recently started using the Shark Cryoglow Mask and I’m obsessed! It’s become a new nighttime non-negotiable. I love the under-eye cooling patches and the blemish repair routine is perfect for me. I’ll then follow up with my Azelac moisturising cream and I’m all done.
Cinzia: My nighttime skincare routine is super calming and gentle. I always start with the Caudalie Foaming Face wash to cleanse, followed by their Vinoperfect Serum and matching eye cream! I love it! I finish with the Laneige lip balm in the matcha flavour. I’m a matcha girl and that’s my favourite.

What are your tips/ product recommendations for achieving healthy hair?
Sophia: The Christoph Robin Hydrating Leave-in Mist is my go-to. Also, Living Proof's hair oil is the best.
