Sit back as we enter the world of Ireland’s busiest model, as she divulges beauty secrets, workout routines and what’s next on the cards for the Kendall Jenner look alike. WHAT IS YOUR MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE? In the morning, I start with a good cleanse using the Casmara Cleanser 3 in 1 (Edenbeautygroup.ie, €20). Then I mix the Environ AVST Skin Essentia Vita-Antioxidant Moisturiser (Skin1pharmacy.ie, €57) with the NeoStrata Bionic Face Serum (NeoStrata, €55.15). Eye cream is essential for early morning puffiness so I use the Casmara Eye Contour Eye Correct Anti-Puffiness Dark Circles Salon Care (Amazon, approx. €40.62). I finish up with a hit of hydration with the Casmara Balancing Moisturizing Cream (Carethy.ie, €28.18) and some Aliso Certified Organic Lip Balm (Meaghers, €9.95). WHAT IS YOUR NIGHTTIME SKINCARE REGIMEN? At night, I use the same cleanser but I double cleanse with a muslin cloth to get all my makeup off. I go in with the same two serums mixed together and the same eye cream. I use the Casmara Rose D-Tox Super Concentrate (Edenbeautygroup.ie, €48) to detoxify and energise my skin after a day of makeup and I finish up with the same moisturiser as the morning. Every few days I use a sheet mask, some of my favourites are the Garnier Moisture Bomb Hydrating Face Sheet Masks (Boots, approx. €4.09) and the Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask (Charlotte Tilbury, €24).
WHAT ARE THE MAKE-UP PRODUCTS THAT YOU USE EVERY DAY? I use the Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation, shade 5 (Charlotte Tilbury, €40) to start - it gives a gorgeous natural finish to your skin. Next, I use the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer, shade 5 (Charlotte Tilbury, €30) under my eyes to conceal dark circles. I have an oily t-zone so I brush the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder (Cultbeauty. co.uk, £32) over those areas. For brows, I love the Benefit Goof Proof Eyebrow Pencil, shade 4.5, (Benefit, €26.50) and Benefit Gimme Brow+ Volumising Eyebrow Gel, shade 4.5, (Benefit, €26.50) to brush them up and make them look fluffy. Spraying a spoolie with hairspray is an affordable and effective way to get gorgeous brushed up brows too. My go-to contour is the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow - Face Sculpt & Highlight, Fair/ Medium (Charlotte Tilbury, €65). It’s the perfect contour shade to give you the most amazing bone structure. I also use this on my eyes. For blush, I use the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour Stick, shade no. 24 (Brown Thomas, €44) it’s super dewy and natural. For my eyes, if I’m in a rush I stick to the contour shade but if I have extra time, I use an orangey copper shade from the Charlotte Tilbury, Darling Easy Eye Palette (Charlotte Tilbury, €54). It looks really fab on brown eyes!
