Unsurprisingly, Tom Ford was one glamorous child.
The designer, who is set to debut his first full makeup line this year, has been obsessed with beauty since he was a kid -- for better and for worse. As he recounted to Women's Wear Daily:
"When I was 14, I had to be taken to the emergency room because the cucumber slices I had put on my eyes -- to camouflage the bags -- had made them swell shut. I could eat cucumbers, but my eyes were clearly allergic to them."
Yikes. Thankfully with his new beauty collection, which includes everything from hyper-pigmented lip glosses to contouring illuminator and brow pencils, Ford and his many fans can rely on more fail-proof methods for perfecting their skin. WWD noted:
Ford also uses a lot of the skin care products himself, including the Traceless Foundation Stick in the corners of his nose and eyes, the Illuminating Protective Primer, and the Purifying Crème Cleanser -- "it goes on like cold cream and the skin feels moisturized and unbelievable." He sometimes sleeps in the oil-based serum, Intensive Infusion Concentrate Extreme, which he said absorbs straight into the skin.
If it's good enough for Tom Ford, consider us sold.
