.TinsleyMortimer flirts with her It girl past and bats her lashes at her future:
Tinsley Mortimer has always had a thing about eyelashes. "Growing up in the South, I wore makeup as a child," she recounts over breakfast at the Beekman Hotel in Lower Manhattan. "I literally got in trouble for wearing makeup at school. I was like, ‘But my mommy put it on.’"
Now, two years later, Mortimer is launching a new collaboration of fake lashes with the beauty brand Winky Lux: XXO Tinsley for Winky Lux. "A good set of eyelashesfix a lot," Mortimer insists, emphatically. "Or at least make you feel more confident. I can’t live without them, I’m sorry. I can’t look at myself without them. It’s not that I don’t feel pretty, but they make me feel prettier. And I don’t know why someone doesn’t want to look prettier.
Mortimer may be a reality star now, but the Winky Lux collaboration harkens back to Mortimer's New York origins, when, as new graduate of Columbia University, she scored a job as a beauty assistant at. "That’s funny, I’m not even putting that together," she said of the full circle-ness of it all. "That was my first job out of Columbia. I made it a year. It was all so stressful.
Mortimer does not keep in touch with her social circle from those days—among them, Lauren Santo Domingo, Fabiola Beracasa, and, yes, even—but harbors no ill will. "it’s something that I regret. I still follow them on Instagram and we’ll like this and that, but a lot of it was because I moved away, and their lives go on," she said. "When I moved back to New York, I thought I would reach out, but i was just so busy with the show.
