Shopping with Ole Henriksen

Ole Henriksen is one of the happiest people I've ever met. The LA Based facialist to the stars came to New York, and we took him shopping at Sephora 5th Avenue for a new section in Sephora.com's Beauty Central called Shop with the Pros. Some of his responses were so informative, I couldn't wait till November (when his story will post) to share them. So in essence I'm scooping myself (or actually, my coworker Cindy, who wrote the story), but I can't resist: here's some of my favorite Ole-isms.

"I do a lot of TV. And when you do TV, as a man, you want to look your best, of course, which is obviously very natural. I always like to do my own makeup before TV because I don’t want that heavy, made-up look. Lola Cosmetics Pressed Powder in Bisque takes the shine away, without taking the life out of my skin."

"I love the fact that Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler takes my—not overly long—lashes and gives them a little shape. It has an eye-opening effect and it does the job in a split second."

"Ole Henriksen Express The Truth is rich without being greasy, it’s calming, it’s healing. The reason I call it Express the Truth is: I love an expressive face. I love a face that’s alive. I’m all about aging gracefully. An expressive face is a happy face; it is a lived-in face. And as long as you’ve got great skin texture, you look good—whether you are 20 or 85."

"I’m a happy man. I smile a lot and I know the importance of having white teeth. Back in Denmark, my native country, they often joke about what they call “my Hollywood smile.” They say: “Your teeth are very white. What’s the secret?” Well, Go SMILE Morning Rush & Nighttime Therapy toothpastes are the secret."
