“too much ego will kill your talent”
What’s in your make-up bag?
I always have about eight different lipbalms, lipglosses
and lipsticks - just in case! I also carry a powder compact
for touch-ups and refreshing makeup, as well as a Clinique
or Bobbi Brown concealer in case I get a pimple halfway
through the day.
Do you remember your first beauty product?
It was a Rimmel Heather Shimmer lipstick - I loved it!
I also had one of those hideous palettes from Argos that
contained all the eyeshadow and blusher shades that no
women should ever touch, but in the 90’s they were
a must-have!
What is your signature scent?
I don’t have a signature, preferring to change things up
and use my fragrance as an accessory. I change it daily,
depending on my mood, the weather, what I’m wearing...
I’m currently loving Burberry Body, as well as Jo Malone’s
Lime, Basil and Mandarin. For the evening, I’ll wear something heavier such as Guerlain’s Le Petit Robe Noir
or a Molton Brown statement fragrance.
Nails – nude, bright or au naturel?!
When I’m busy and don’t have time to change them, nude.
When it’s summer and I feel the need to change my nails
daily, bright! Never natural though, unless my nails need
some serious recovery time.

Any beauty indulgences you try and make time for?
I’ve learned that facials are really important and help
your skin to rest and recover - I try to make time every
three months and it really pays off. Having a really great
pedicure every few months (even in winter when we forget
about our feet) is vital to maintain foot health.
What’s the best beauty trick you’ve ever been shown?
Where to apply a concealer. So many people apply it
all over the eye, but if you apply just to the crease where
your under-eye meets your cheek you’ll reflect the light and
create a much more natural result.
“ For me, doing my makeup or styling my hair is an
enjoyable experience rather than a task I have to do.”
