What Tanning brands do you swear by?
My guilty pleasure is Rimmel Sun shimmer instant tan for a golden glow over already tanned skin. It leaves an iridescent sheen to pick up the light as if the sun was hitting your skin. I also use St Tropez bronzing mousse for a natural tan that you can actually see as you apply.
Which make-up brands to you use?
I use all brands ranging from high street to luxury. The technologies are so advanced now and the ingredients are pretty similar so often I am aware of weather I’m buying the packaging or the product. I love the texture and pretty candy colours of Bourjois little round pot eye shadows, they blend amazingly. I have to have the best when it comes to foundation and for me that is Armani Luminous silk. Instead of using one brand find your favorite product from each one.
Do you use bronzers to enhance a tan and if so which brands?
A bronzed skin tone always makes your complexion look better so I use a light dusting of Nars Bronzer over my clients to lift any look.
Do you feel tanning has become more fashionable?
I dread the season trends being pale skin. I don’t see tanned skin as fashionable but a way of looking and feeling better.
What Celebrity do you enjoy working with the most?
I love all my clients but Lady Gaga is so experimental with make up that going to work is automatically more fun.
Have you found a big rise in tanning with you clients?
I find that a lot of people now require less tanning from me due to better products being available resulting in people feeling confident enough to do their own tan at home.
Name one make-up accessory you can’t live with out?
I can’t live without my Individual lash extensions but only if I must!
Name one fashion accessory you can’t be without?
It has to be my new Armani Vanity case, it has to come everywhere with me as it contains my life!
