We take a peek into her kit bag.
Art Toolkit palettes
Absolutely amazing as mini palettes for everything from lipsticks to a full range of dermacolors allowing you to streamline your kit and making it easy to take everything to set for touch ups.
From £24, from TILT Professional Makeup
Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentré
I’m all about the skin and find this a versatile moisturiser for both men and women. From £13, available from Boots, Feel Unique, Look Fantastic and ASOS.
Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Eye Cream
A light moisturising eye cream that helps the eye area stay hydrated and allows for concealer and colour correctors to glide on. From £16 available from Beauty Bay, Look Fantastic and Liberty.
Early starts, late nights, long days and dehydrated skin mean eyes can look seriously tired. I like to prep my actors skin really well before applying makeup and using a cold eye massager to apply eye cream is ALWAYS a winner. £10 from Temple Spa.
Airbrushing
When my on-set touch up time is minimal, silicone based airbrushing guarantees a flawless finish and usually means little to no touch ups required. I use Airbase and Temptu to give me a wide selection of colour.
Osca Brush Cleaner
I really love this brand and like the fact that the soap can be purchased as a replaceable round. They come in a nice selection of scents but my favourite is the citronella. £17.99, with refills from £6.80 available from osca, TILT Professional Makeup and PAM.
Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Crayons
A lovely selection of colours, a great taste/smell and they do exactly what they say on the packet. These long-stay lipsticks don’t crumble and go dry like a lot of other long wear options so I keep all 16 shades in my kit – and, they have a built-in sharpener in the bottom. £9.99 from Boots, Superdrug and Look Fantastic.
Clear folio wallets and pockets
Decanting products has always been preferable, but has become essential since Covid-19 and having all my favourites organised into small, airless pump bottles, sprays or tubes has been a godsend. It also means I can carry more options around with me without having to worry about weight and keeping them in a wallet means you can set up your work station in record speed as well as knowing where everything is – great for a busy crowd room or live TV. From £9.98 on Amazon.
A kit staple – long-lasting eye liner that simply doesn’t budge.
£17.50 from M.A.C, ASOS and John Lewis.
Kiko Scrub and Peel Wipes
I don’t really use these for the face, but instead cut them into small rectangles and store in an airtight container to use as lips scrub sheets. Absolutely genius; a lovely smell and a wonderful treatment for the lips ensuring lipsticks and glosses look amazing.
£5.99 from Kiko Cosmetics and Feel Unique.
