Anna Liese is a Mississippi native, community leader and the mayor of Diamondhead — currently the only female mayor on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Balancing civic leadership, family and a full calendar, she believes beauty should feel effortless, dependable and never overdone. Her approach blends time-tested classics with a few well-chosen splurges, proving that confidence — like great style — is built on knowing what truly works.
TRIED, TRUE AND TIMELESS
Our grandmothers knew exactly what they were doing. I still rely on Pond’s Cold Cream as my makeup remover and cleanser. It’s gentle, effective and never lets me down, proving that some classics truly stand the test of time.
THE ANSWER TO FLAT HAIR
Moroccanoil Root Boost is my secret weapon for volume right where I need it. It gives lift at the root without that heavy, sticky feeling so many products leave behind. This product is light, effective and effortless — just how I like it. Bonus: It smells great!
MAKEUP THAT GETS IT
Laura Geller Baked Full-Face Basics feels tailor-made for “women of a certain age (wink).” Everything blends beautifully, never settles and leaves my skin looking polished, but natural. It’s one of those products that just works.
MIRACLE IN A SMALL JAR
Tarte Maracuja-C Brightener Eye Treatment brightens, smooths and makes me look far more rested than I actually am. On tired mornings, this little jar works wonders. It’s a tiny step that makes a big difference.
THE MULTITASKER I SWEAR BY
Bobbi Brown Vitamin-Enriched Face Base replaces my moisturizer, primer and serum all in one step. It leaves my skin hydrated, smooth and perfectly prepped for makeup — or just the day ahead.
THE SPLURGE THAT’S WORTH IT
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Overnight Treatment is an investment, but I never regret it. I wake up with smoother, healthier-looking skin every single time. It’s the definition of beauty sleep in a bottle.
THE NAIL SAVERS
OPI Nail Envy & Nail and Cuticle Oil-to- Go have completely transformed my nails. They’re stronger, healthier and finally growing the way they should. I keep the oil close; it’s a small habit with significant results.
MY SIGNATURE SCENT
Cartier La Panthère is the fragrance I reach for every day. It’s classic, feminine and confident — clean without being boring and memorable without trying too hard. I feel finished the second I spray it on.
