Beauty regime before a night out?
I have a routine and I stick to it. This is the order: foundation, concealer, setting powder, bronzer, blusher, highlighter, eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, mascara, lip balm, lipstick.
I pretty much always wear the same make-up. The only choices I ever have to make are, sable eye or feline flick? Red lip or nude?
What make-up items are always in your make-up bag?
Bronzing powder, lipstick and a hairbrush.
What three beauty items take pride of place on your dressing table?
Perfume bottles, Eve Lom Cleanser (Dhs587) here and make-up brushes
Top tip for long-lasting make-up…
Setting powder.
My S.O.S skincare product is…
Eve Lom everything!
My all-time favourite lipstick is…
Any from the Tom Ford Lip Color collection (Dhs108) here
My go-to nail varnish is…
Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Ballerina (Dhs95) here
For facials I go to…
My bath. I don’t like facials as my skin is super-sensitive. I would rather see a dermatologist.
My look is…
Simple, clean and classic.
My preferred make-up look…
Eyeliner, mascara and a red lip.
My top three go-to hair styles are…
The wave, a big bun or a low side ponytail.
Best beauty advice…
My mother told me never to wear too much make-up.
My beauty secret…
I dry my mascara and curl it at the same time against my finger. It gets rid of lumps and leaves a more natural look.
My best feature is…
My hair.
My favourite beauty memory is…
Smelling my mothers’ make-up brushes when I was little.
If I’m feeling daring I try…
A smoky eye, but I don’t think it suits me much.
I trust my tresses to…
My stylist, Rupert at Nicky Clarke in London.
My favourite spa is…
The Four Seasons Langkawi, Malaysia.
My signature fragrance is…
My secret.
