What's in your make-up bag?

"I'm not one for the full face of slap, but I do believe in making the best of things. Any man who says he doesn't want to do that is lying. I like having a tan and I am lucky that I'm fairly dark, so whatever colour I get seems to last. I also have dark lashes, so don't need to worry about them. I am concerned about the quality and tone of my skin though, and I will always make an effort with it."

WHAT'S INSIDE: Redken Rough Paste: "My favourite grooming product. This has replaced gel for taming fluffy hair. It gives a good dry look." GHD ceramic irons: "Used occasionally when there's a party or special event. There's a narrow one that's great for blokes who want a spiky look, or to straighten and lengthen the back."

YSL Touche Éclat: Goes on any shaded areas as a pick-me-up. Especially under eyes and at the corner of my nose." MAC Concealer: "Just for my nose, where I have broken veins. It zaps them in one dab." Lancôme Flash Bronzer: "I use the body bronzer all over in between sunbed sessions." Clarins Beauty Flash Balm: "Apparently you shouldn't use this every day, because your skin gets used to it, but it's fantastic for giving a fresh look." L'Oréal Plenitude: "I have oily skin so I only moisturise at night."

THE VERDICT: Ken Boylan, make-up artist with Armani, says: "Gary's skin always looks amazing, in spite of all those sunbeds! I suggest he tries Eco Tan, that works like the salon spray-on tans. It's easy and the colour comes up instantly. Available from House of Fraser stores in the UK. Also, Gary should try Dior's Iod Fluide Matte, a mattifying moisturiser that's perfect for his skin type."
