Each fortnight, Sunday Life’s beauty director Stephanie Darling gets inside the head of an industry expert or media personality. Ahead, Stephanie chats to Miranda Kerr.

What I’m loving right now
Our new Milky Mushroom Gentle Cleansing Oil (koraorganics.com, $54). It’s a lightweight oil that contains silver ear mushroom, which helps bind moisture to your skin without the heaviness of a traditional oil cleanser.
Beauty icon Audrey Hepburn. She carried herself with so much grace and her beauty shone through her soul.
The rule I live by I try to eat healthy organic food 80 per cent of the time and allow myself to indulge the other 20 per cent.
Top beauty tip I try to make dry body brushing a priority before I shower.
Must-have beauty product My favourite at the moment is RMS Beauty Wild With Desire Lipstick in Randy (mecca.com.au, $42).
I never leave the house without My Theragun Mini Percussive Therapy Massager (harveynorman.com.au, $349). I have two young sons, so I get tight shoulders carrying them around. It fits in my baby bag and I love it so much I gifted it to many friends and family last Christmas.

Trend: Blush boost
Blush is to cheeks what lipstick is to lips: they both brighten up the face and give a quick and easy beauty lift. We also love the versatility of blush, as it can also be worn as an eyeshadow. To give some depth to your blush, add a dash of bronzer over the top.

Ask Steph
What is the fashionable beard length now?
The best length for a stubble beard is about 2.5mm, or about 10 days’ growth.
Look for beard trimmers that come with built-in dials for different length settings, such as Braun’s Series 5 Beard Trimmer (gillette.com.au, $149).
