my beauty picks BEAUTY rules British cosmetics lover shares her favorite products and tricks to look great. HAYLEY CARR londonbeautyqu een.com What is your daily beauty routine? I’ve always been one for cleansing thoroughly and applying a moisturizer, so I do this religiously twice a day.In the evening, I like using a cleansing balm and muslin cloth with an overnight intensive treatment, whereas in the morning l use an alcohol free cleanser and a lighter moisturizer that doesn’t interfere with my makeup. I like to apply a primer if I’m out all day too, so my foundation stays flawless for as long as possible. How do you care for your hair? I straighten and style my hair a lot, so I’m extremely careful with the products I use. They not only need to provide me with super soft and manageable hair, but help to repair damage and protect against my electrical styling products. I’m a big fan of Paul Mitchell Super Strong, Moroccanoil and Label.M products. What’s your best beauty discovery? Primers have changed my life, as have BB Creams. Using a primer can totally transform your skintone visually, as well as keeping your makeup in place all day with minimal need for touch-ups. BB Creams have allowed me to step out of the house without worrying that I’m makeup-free. 39
