Riley Minford: “I would have loved to transition while I was at school, but I also know that would have been really hard. If I had transitioned so young, I don’t think my parents would have supported me the way I needed them to, so it was better for me to wait. My mum and I have a whole different vibe now; she’s my biggest cheerleader. She was so excited for my move to Sydney, and when I started working with OPI. She calls me every morning and every night – she’s always up in my grill now that I’m the most successful bitch in my family, haha! Even my dad is so supportive now. He called me when I was in the middle of a nail appointment yesterday, and gave me some colour advice. I roast him all the time, so we have this really comfortable relationship now. I am so happy with where we are all at now, because it makes the whole twisty path we took to get here so worth it. Everything in my life so far, good and bad, has led me to where I am now and to being the person I am today, so I am grateful for all of it.”⁠ ⁠ Trans activist, model and influencer @rileyminford sat down with us to tell us about her transitional journey, from a difficult childhood to the glamour of fashion week, and gave us the scoop on her in-depth beauty routine, including triple cleansing and getting her ideal blush tone using four different products.
