Make-up artist at NARS Anna Priadka

What’s the last piece of clothing you bought?

An Isabel Marant coat for winter.

What are you addicted to buying?

Skincare. I’m obsessed with a lot of the indie brands out there and will always be on the look out for the latest innovation. The Ordinary and Sunday Riley are my favourite brands at the minute. I especially love her U.F.O. Ultra-clarifying Face Oil – it’s incredible.

Best ever bargain?

A Miu Miu clutch bag I bought for a friend’s wedding this summer. I got it for £55 through an ebay auction.

Who has great style?

I love the blogger Style scrapbook. She is a client of mine and always puts outfits together so amazingly well.

Name your favourite high street shop.

Zara.

Any fashion disasters you’d care to tell us about?

I used to be obsessed with crop tops, tight ripped jeans and cowboy boots during my late teens and early twenties. It was literally the only outfit I wore when out clubbing for about four years.

What’s your favourite item in your wardrobe?

My Balmain for H&M emerald green dress I bought two seasons ago. It was so hard to get hold of one and I just love it SO much. I could look at it all day. n
