How to shine like stars
HOW do the celebrities manage once the photoshoot make-up artists and hair stylists have packed up their kits? Style icons Gwyneth Paltrow, Katie Holmes and Nicole Scherzinger disclose their beauty secrets.
Q: What’s your make-up must-have?
A: A good mascara and a little blush go a long way.
Q: How would you describe your signature look?
A: I love that really cool, kind of beachy look — a little bit undone, with a darker, smudgy eye. I like sexy and understated.
Q: Do you like to experiment with your beauty?
A: I feel inspired by women who can wear both strong, eye and lip make-up at the same time, but it’s not a look that suits me. I love a simple, red lip, teamed with an otherwise bare-looking face.
Q: Do you wear make-up every day?
A: No, I don’t wear make-up every day, especially if I’m just working from home or picking up the kids.
Q: Your best beauty tip?
A: I try to look after my skin, as much as possible, by keeping it fresh-looking through exfoliating and moisturising. I exfoliate my skin about four times a week.
Q: What’s your make-up must-have?
A: I always apply blush in the morning, because I have dark hair and I really need it.
Q: How does your look differ for evening?
A: When I’m going out, I apply eye liner on the inside of both the top and bottom lid.
Q: What’s your hero beauty product?
A: I love the new Bobbi & Katie palette. It complements different skin tones and the colours go from morning to evening.
Q: What’s in your make-up bag?
A: I used to carry huge tote bags with dry shampoo, Bobbi Brown shimmer brick, and a blush brush, but I had to cut back. Now, I carry a smaller bag, with just a make-up palette.
Q: What’s your best beauty tip?
A: Bobbi has taught me the importance of blending techniques. You don’t look like you have a lot of make-up on — it never looks cakey.
Q: What’s your daily beauty routine?
A: Every morning, I wash my face with SK-II facial treatment essence, followed by eye cream and moisturiser. The SK-II eye cream is one of my favourite beauty products.
Q: What’s your make-up must-have?
A: All I need is some eyeliner and lip gloss.
Q: What’s in your make-up bag?
A: Max Factor colour elixir giant pen stick, Diorshow black-out waterproof mascara, Jouer luminizing moisture tint, Jurlique rose-silk finishing powder, Herbal Essences bee strong strengthening spray and SUQQU nail polish.
Q: Do you like to experiment with your beauty?
A: I love to experiment with different looks. The other day, I wore turquoise-blue eyeliner underneath my eyes. I’m also really into bright, coral lips.
Q: How do you look after your long hair?
A: I use the Herbal Essences bee strong shampoo and conditioner daily.
