I can’t live without . . .

Dermalogica skin care products It took me a long time for find skin products that really suited me. The Multi-Active Toner is really refreshing and the Skin Smoothing Cream keeps my skin soft and blemish free.

Eve Lom Kiss Mix I love this lip balm. It has a fresh tingling feeling and the little pot lasts for ages.

Laura Mercier primer, tinted moisturiser, eyebrow pencil and Secret Camouflage concealer These are the most fantastic makeup basics. They blend into your skin perfectly and the concealer doesn't budge, even when swimming! I always use these products when I'm on stage.

Mac lipsticks I have too many Mac lipsticks to list them all! I love a strong lip with simple eye makeup to really make an impact. I think this works well on stage.

Shu Uemura eyelash curlers Makeup artists swear by these and I would never use mascara without them; they really open up the eyes.
