BEAUTY IS BORING’S ARTIST IN RESIDENCE, REGINA YAZDI AND I CHAT ABOUT HER BEAUTY INFLUENCES, WHEN SHE FIRST DISCOVERED ANNA KARINA AND EXACTLY WHAT PRODUCTS SHE USES TO CREATE BRIGITTE BARDOT’S ICONIC SMOKY EYE. By Robin Black

Regina and I met on social media, she was my second Instagram “date” (the first was brilliant art director @queenruba). We stalked each other’s images for several months before discovering that we lived about a mile apart. We decided to meet for coffee and although I wouldn’t refer to myself as a romantic person, it was creative love at first sight. Since then, Regina has been a fixture in the Beauty Is Boring Studio where she not only illustrates many of our looks but also acts as my sounding board, occasional hands on stylist/art director (see our recent Marie Antionette looks) and all around beauty partner. Read on for Regina’s thoughts on her beauty influences and her product recommendations for creating their iconic looks.

Robin: What do you find inspiring about Brigitte Bardot’s signature beauty look"
Regina: The casual sultriness of it all – she’s the ultimate French bombshell but there’s something quite effortless and accessible about her look.
Robin: Is there a particular film or photoshoot of Bardot...
