What are five products
that every girl should have to hand and why?
1) Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentre – a 3-in-1
cream that is a fabulous moisturizer for under make-up, which can be used as a
cleanser, and also works brilliantly when applied thick as a moisturizing
face-mask.
2) Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler – it’s the best on the
market, and curling your eyelashes will open up your eye.
3) Garnier Roll-on Concealer – for under-eye
circles, the texture is lightweight enough that it doesn’t emphasise lines or
crow’s-feet, and the rollerball applicator is wonderfully soothing on puffy
eyes. It will wake-up even the most tired-looking eyes.
4) Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara in ‘Blackest
Black’ – the brush is superb, and grips even the tiniest lashes.
5) Bobbi Brown Apricot Blusher – this fabulous
shade instantly brightens your complexion, and works on all skin tones
Is it a mistake to apply
a foundation to the eyelid before applying eyeshadow?
I always use NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base –
apply directly onto the eyelid, then apply eyeshadow directly onto this base.
It holds eyeshadow in place far better than foundations or concealers, and even
when I am working in temperatures of 80+ degrees, the colour stays true and
free of any creasing all day.
Sometimes ladies don't
want to wear a full face of makeup, so what do you recommend for a natural glam
look?
A great bronzer, not too sparkly, applied to cheeks
and eyes; two or three coats of
mascara; and a slick of Estee Lauder Lipgloss in ‘Bare Glow’ on lips and a tiny dab on browbones, just below
the arch of your eyebrow, as a highlighter - instant ‘Charlie’s Angels’-style
glamour!
I've noticed that coloured
eye liners are gaining in popularity; what would you say are the hottest colours
to use this season?
Bright-bright greens and turquoises are very big
right now, and suit all eye colours. For those looking for something really
fashion-forward try canary yellow – it’s not as scary as it sounds!
What would you say is
the "secret" to the perfect winged eyeliner?
I always use a gel-eyeliner; it doesn’t set
instantly so you have time to get it right! Starting at the inner eye, paint
across the lid while very gently pulling the eyelid taut with the index finger
of your opposite hand, then, reloading the brush, paint a line from the outer
corner of the eye about 5-10mm depending on how dramatic an effect you’re
after, then extend the liner from where it stops on your outer eyelid to meet
the end-point of that line to form a
triangle, filling in any space if necessary. Maybelline Gel Liner comes with a
great brush.
How can we get longer,
fuller-looking lashes?
Eyelash growth products really do work! I’m Molly
Ringwald’s make-up artist whenever she’s in England, and the second time I
worked with her, after she had been using Revitalash for a few months, her
lashes were 100% thicker and noticeably longer. I’d been rather cynical about
such products beforehand until I saw the results Molly had experienced. Far
better to invest in a treatment product like this than thickening mascaras which
can make lashes look too clumpy.

It's winter, so
obviously that can cause the skin to be very dry. What should ladies be doing
to fill fine lines in their lipstick?
I recommend applying Lanolips lip ointment before
lipstick. It has a very rich texture - a little goes a long way, so a tube
should last you for at least six months. With prolonged use, your lips will
become smoother, and the smoother your lips are, the better your lipstick will
look, as well as staying in place longer.
When choosing a lip
liner, should it be an identical colour to the lipstick or can it be used to
create contrast? Are there certain lip colours that make the lips appear
fuller? What tricks can women use to plump thinner lips?
I always outline the lips in a colour as close to
their natural tone; my favourite is Shiseido Smoothing Lip Pencil. You can use
this to rectify any unevenness in your lip shape, or to create a fuller
lipline. This is a perfect base for any colour lipstick (which you should apply
with a brush, over and right up to the edge of your pencilled lip line) and it
also acts as a magnet to prolong your lipstick.

Shades like blush pinks or vibrant corals are great
for making lips look fuller, but NEVER go for matte or pearl textures as these
will create the impression that the lips are thinner than they really are. Look
for gloss-stick lipsticks (Estee Lauder and Christian Dior do fabulous ones),
as they have the convenience of a regular twist-up-tube-lipstick, but all the
comfort of a gloss but with better wear. Don’t think a darker lipline will
create the impression of fuller lips; it will just look unnatural. And dark
lipline with a pale pearly lipstick is ALWAYS a no-no…unless you want to look
like a guest on Jerry Springer!

A wayward son and his manic-depressive mother must battle to discover themselves before they can start to love each other in this riotous memoir.
It’s the dress-to-excess `80s, and a mom-hating, vodka-soaked, drug-fuelled, shoplifting Birmingham schoolboy who’s reinvented himself as Boy George is desperate for the love she’s never been able to give. It’s the `90s and her skeletons are out of the closet. Today, now that he’s sober, it’s time for them to kiss and make up…
