Each fortnight, Stephanie Darling gets inside the head of an industry expert or media personality. Ahead, Stephanie chats to Nicole Trunfio. She is a mother, model and entrepreneur who grew up in Western Australia and now lives in Texas. She owns sustainable brands Bumpsuit, Erth Jewellery and Erth Swim.

Nicole Trunfio suggests mixing a highlighter and a BB cream for a natural glow.

What I’m loving right now Spending quality time with my family. It’s been a crazy few years juggling family, work and business, and it’s great to finally put the brakes on a little and relax.

Beauty icon Sophia Loren is such a powerful woman. I love her classic, timeless beauty and am always inspired by her dramatic eye make-up.

The rules I live by Always act with kindness; remove negativity.

Top beauty tip I like customising my products, like mixing a highlighter and a BB cream for a natural glow.

Favourite colour The sky at midnight. It’s more than just a colour, it’s also a feeling and a mood.

Must-have beauty product Inika Organic Radiant Glow Veil, (adorebeauty.com.au, $79). It gives such a gorgeous natural finish to my make-up.

Favourite exercise routine I love working out with a trainer because it’s incredible for my mental health and really sets my day up for success and puts me in a good mood.

I never the leave the house without Polaroid photos of my kids and my fave pair of Vada shades, especially with the Texan sun – it’s beautiful and golden but I do need to see where I am going.

Trend: Scent of a woman

Mother’s Day is a great excuse to splash out on a new fragrance – and our three favourites are all worthy additions to any mama’s collection. Go for fresh lavender with Hermetica, blackberry syrup with Lubin, and intensity and longevity with Amouage.

Ask Steph

How do I soothe dry, scaly legs?

The outer layer of dead skin is thickest on legs, which is why they are prone to itchy dryness in winter. Begin by dry-body brushing, then use an exfoliator in a warm shower to remove dead cells. Finish with Embryolisse Beauty Oil (adorebeauty.com.au, $47) for hydration.
