Amber’s beauty kit

WHAT’S YOUR MAKEUP ROUTINE?

“It’s very casual! No one cares what I look like and I actually think people don’t trust a makeup artist who wears a lot of makeup. If I’m feeling crazy I’ll wear a red lip.”

DO YOU HAVE A DEFAULT LOOK?

“It’s basically the same routine every day. I change the products all the time though.”

DO YOU HAVE ANY PRODUCTS THAT YOU DON’T STRAY FROM?

“MAC Pro Longwear eyeshadow in One to Watch, and Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair.”

HOW MUCH MAKEUP DO YOU TAKE WITH YOU ON TOUR?

“There’s a main kit that’s checked in but my personal kit is just like anyone else’s

– I don’t need 30 eyeshadows, just the two I use every day. Of course I can dip into the main kit if I forget something or want to try something different.”

HAS THE MAIN KIT EVER GONE MISSING?

“Because it looks so unusual when it goes through the scanner it’s constantly being waylaid at airport security, sometimes for a couple of days. Whenever that happens I’ll have a tiny heart attack, I’ll be playing it very cool but be dying on the inside. It always shows up in time though.”

DOES IT WORRY YOU THAT YOUR LUCK MIGHT RUN OUT?

“The other day I spoke to a makeup artist who works with one of the biggest singers in the world and she travels with two kits, one that she checks in and a smaller carry-on one. I’m going to copy her.”
