Linda Rodin is an icon
and here's why
She started a beauty company at the age of 59 (in the middle of a
longtime, wildly successful career as a stylist) with a single,
all-natural product that went dead-against the traditional beauty world’s
insistence on “oil-free” at every turn. More than a few people told her
this sudden career change was flat-out crazy; Rodin ignored even very
knowledgeable friends in the beauty industry and singlehandedly created
the face-oil trend with her exquisite, now-iconic Olio Lusso face oil. She
insisted that her entire luxurious, stylist-secret line be totally
nontoxic—because that’s what she wanted.
When it comes to Linda's lipsticks, the colours are classic and timeless and will run from one season to the next. I’ve tried Rodin’s Olio Lusso face oil and Crema hand and body creme and if the quality of these products is anything to go by, the lipsticks will be fab, too. So, how does Linda Rodin recommend wearing her new lipsticks? 'Use a pencil to line the lips and fill them in and then apply the lipstick over the top. I’d wear all these colours; the nude one is a note to myself at 16-years-old, when I wanted to look like Twiggy and Brigitte Bardot. Lipstick finishes everything off – and it doesn’t have to match, if you’re wearing red, your lipstick can be hot pink.'
Rodin is currently working on a set of lip liners to go with her lipsticks – meanwhile, I’m working on a little Rodin-inspired style.
