THIS WEEK I’M…
bit. In front of the camera you do need coverage, but for real life I would try to have skin shine through so just dot concealer or tinted moisturiser to cover any dark circles, bits of redness around the nose or any imperfections. I think less is more as you get older.
If I can do mascara, concealer and a bit of a brow then I can leave the house. For mascara, I use

eyebrows look fuller, and

I wish I’d used sunscreen more. I had beautiful skin but at 16 and 17 I was all about getting a tan. And I had a really great little body and wish I could go back and tell myself to have more confidence, but it’s hard when so much is changing and your hormones are kicking in. You go through an awkward stage.
I’ve put my body through a lot – partying, lots of tequila, all kinds of things. I think it’s amazingly resilient. But I do enjoy looking after it – I love exercising, eating the right things, body brushing, all that kind of stuff. I like my body more now and have a good relationship with it. It takes a lot to say that but it’s a powerful place to be.
I had a bit of stubborn fat on my inner thigh and no matter what I did I couldn’t shift it. A doctor told me I was the perfect candidate for CoolSculpting, so I went for a proper consultation first. It complements my lifestyle because I do look after myself but I just needed that little something extra. And I loved the fact there was no downtime afterwards and it wasn’t an unpleasant experience – I was reading a magazine throughout.
It’s not for me to say. Some people aren’t comfortable talking about it but I just want to be honest.
It’s a number, at the end of the day. As long as I can stay healthy and happy and in a great relationship with lots of supportive people around me, then who cares? But ask me the day before and I may feel differently!
