Nicole Williams-English, an entrepreneur, model, and TV personality, has made a significant impact in the beauty and fashion industry. Known for her jet-setting lifestyle with husband and former NFL star Larry English, Nicole has represented brands like Savage x Fenty and starred in E!’s hit series WAGS. She is also the founder of the swimwear brand Nia Lynn and recently graced the runway for Sports Illustrated. In addition to her busy career, Nicole is a devoted mom and animal advocate, serving as the U.S. Celebrity Ambassador for World Animal Protection and endorsing plant-based brand Beyond Meat.
In a recent interview, Nicole shared insights into her beauty routine. Despite the demands of being a toddler mom, she prioritizes skincare at home. Her routine includes red light therapy, with various devices like red LED masks and an infrared sauna with a red LED panel. Nicole also emphasizes the importance of cleansing her face every night and uses products like Augustinus Bader’s Rich Cream, Serum, and Oil for hydration. She incorporates retinol and vitamin C serum into her routine, along with an ice roller for reducing puffiness.
Nicole is open to trying new treatments like the salmon sperm facial and Sofwave for anti-aging benefits. She values recommendations from experts and peers, like her husband’s endorsement of Sofwave. In terms of sun protection, she relies on Supergoop! sunscreen, which she finds effective and enjoyable to use. In her everyday life, Nicole prefers to focus on skincare over heavy makeup, saving elaborate makeup looks for her modeling gigs. When I head out, I prefer to keep my makeup minimal. I opt for a light touch of Charlotte Tilbury concealer, which acts like a translucent foundation. It provides just the right amount of coverage for a natural look, perfect for a day out. I apply it with a brush for a subtle tint that keeps my skin glowing all day.
Next, I focus on defining my eyebrows with Benefit’s eyebrow pencil, which creates natural-looking hair-like strokes. I pair it with some eyebrow gel and perhaps a lip liner, keeping the overall look clean and simple as I navigate my busy day as a mom. A sleek ponytail, light makeup, sunscreen, and I’m good to go. This is my daily routine.
I am also passionate about animal advocacy, which influences my choice of products. I have transitioned to using mostly cruelty-free makeup brands after learning more about the impact of animal testing. Brands like CoverGirl, Hourglass, and Tarte Cosmetics have become favorites of mine for their commitment to cruelty-free practices. I strive to do my research and make conscious choices when it comes to skincare products as well.
As summer comes to a close, I am focused on getting back on TV and have been exploring opportunities with various networks. I am also working on exciting projects with Sports Illustrated, although details are under wraps for now. I am eager for the change of seasons, as a Canadian at heart who loves experiencing all four seasons, even though I currently reside in the hot climate of LA. I am looking forward to the cooler days of fall.
