Glamour: The photos for the new campaign are downright dreamy. Where is your favorite place to visit in the English countryside?
Sienna Miller: I love Somerset and Dorset, which is like Thomas Hardy country. And I love Wales. But the Cotswolds are stunning. And by the time spring hits, it’s so euphoric that it’s like the best vibe. It’s just you have to get through the Winter months, which is so hard.
Since your mom and Charlotte Tilbury are really good friends, what’s the best beauty advice your mom ever shared with you?
My mother was really glamorous and gorgeous, and quite irreverent. I mean, it was the ’90s when I was watching her as a young child—lots of friends, wine, and cigarettes. It was all just quite cool. They’re rock chicks, really, from the ’60s. They can drink us under the table still. They’ll go on holiday and stay up all night chatting and dancing around the kitchen table. They have this kind of energy. I think it was more inspirational in the spirit than practical tips. My mom also didn’t wear a huge amount of makeup.
I feel like you’re the same way…it’s this kind of effortless beauty that glows from within.
I love looking like I’m not really wearing a lot of makeup. I love looking like I have great skin. I know how to put makeup on because I’ve worked with some of the best makeup artists in the world for years. But on the whole, I want to look dewy, and fresh, and rosy. Charlotte taught me about putting freckles back on where I used to get them. The definition of little freckles makes you look fresh and younger, and whatever.
What product do you use to put the freckles on?
I use the Foxy Brown lip liner. For me, that’s the right shade.

Do you have a certain lip and cheek shade that you swear by?
Lip Cheat, but there’s a really pinky one. I prefer the kind of brownier one right now. It’s Pillow Talk Medium. I love. And I quite like this one too: Talk Fair. And Talk Deep is quite good for a freckle.
Do you contour?
Not really, but I’m 44 and pregnant. I need that contouring.
Well, you give me hope. I froze my eggs at 34, and am in my 40s now, so I appreciate you being open about that.
Yes. [Being pregnant in your 40s] is the best.
How so?
Having had a baby at 29, and then having a baby at 42, and now 44, it’s so much easier when you don’t have the conflict of feeling scattered and like you want to be doing X, Y, Z. If I’m in bed at 9 p.m. with a book, I’m so happy now. And now I’ve got the excuse to do it. Life is in a more grounded space. I think the 30s are chaos. You’re like, “I want to settle down. I want kids.”
