True Velvet Lipstick in Velvet Ribbon Dhs135 Lisa Eldridge
I’ve tried and tested hundreds of lipsticks over the years, but a classic red is my go-to – if I ever need a confidence boost or pickme-up it’s the first thing I reach for. My True Velvet Lipstick in Velvet Ribbon is the one I wear most often – it’s a classic pillarbox red with a hint of blue, and teamed with the velvet finish it is such a dreamy pairing. Gloss Embrace Lip Gloss Dhs94 Lisa Eldridge
I have dry lips, so I’m never without a balm or lip treatment. My Gloss Embrace lip glosses are a high-pigment gloss-meetsindulgent treatment, with moisturising oils and butters that leave lips smooth and plump. I always have at least two in my handbag at any time!
A good concealer is underrated. It’s my secret weapon for even, flawless skin, and it’s not just for spots or dark circles (though it will of course brilliantly cover that too). If you have pigmentation, redness or unevenness that you want to cover concealer is all you need. This has been in my professional kit and personal makeup bag for years. Eyeshadow Palettes Dhs100-150 OPV
I love discovering new indie brands and used OPV’s colourful eyeshadow palettes on Dua Lipa’s new album campaign. The formulas are brilliantly creamy and pigmented and full of surprising, inspiring shades. The Sculpting Powder Dhs175 Kevyn Aucion
Contouring is shadow, and shadow isn’t the colour of bronzer – it has a lot of grey. I love Kevyn

Aucoin’s Sculpting Powders for exactly this reason as they’re realistic shades. Monsieur Big Mascara Dhs130 Lancôme
I’ve used Lancôme mascaras personally and professionally for years and they are consistently
the best. It’s hard to choose favourites but I was personally involved from the outset in the development of Monsieur Big, and I’m really proud of that.
3D Moisture Infusion Mask Dhs230 Sarah Chapman
My hair is fine but frizzy and wavy and I love these products because they really make my hair feel nourished without weighing it down.
I love face masks, and sheet masks are especially good for a quick glow boost. I always have one of these on standby in the fridge in case I wake up looking puffy – it plumps up the skin amazingly well.
Facing Toning Device Dhs835 Nuface
Renaissance Cleansing Gel Dhs180 Oskia
I first discovered this when I was working with a celebrity client who asked if I could help her find something she could use at home to help tone her skin. After using it solidly for a month I really noticed a difference in my skin.
The most divine, melting cleansing gel that turns immediately to an oil, then a milky cleanse when you add water to rinse it off. It has pumpkin enzymes so you can leave it on for a couple of minutes for more of a treatment.
