What’s one beauty trick you do to instantly make you feel amazing?
I automatically feel confident when I pop on a red lip. It makes me feel powerful. Take us through your skincare routine … My twice daily skin routine begins with cleansing my face, followed by a toner that’s non-drying and alcohol free, sweeping gently upwards with a cotton pad. I always follow with a serum and my current favourite is L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Filler Serum with Hyaluronic Acid. It’s perfect under makeup and instantly makes my skin feel plump and hydrated. For day, I follow the same process and add an SPF before applying my makeup.
What’s your favourite look and why?
My go-to makeup is creating a creamy bronzed glow. After my skincare, I use L’Oréal Paris Infallible More Than Concealer, followed by L’Oréal Paris True Match Foundation. Then, I like to use a deep golden powder to contour my face and I also use it as an eyeshadow. I always finish with a spritz of Shake & Glow Dew Mist for a healthy looking glow. I love how I can vamp this look up as little or as much as I need, depending on my schedule.
What are some of the best beauty tips the pros have taught you over the years? Firstly, it’s skin prep. Prepping the skin ensures a better and more long-lasting finish. Hydration throughout the day to keep the lips and face plump is another key learning, as well as using a smoothing sheet mask before event makeup.
You’ve recently joined forces with L’Oréal Paris for their Women of Worth campaign. Tell us a little bit more about it?
I am so honoured to be joining the L’Oréal Paris family, I have always loved the brand and everything it stands for. It empowers all women to strive for confidence and empowerment, and encourages us all on our journey to self-fulfilment. A recent study commissioned by L’Oréal Paris revealed that a shocking 94 per cent of Australian women have low self-esteem, 73 per cent experience moments of selfdoubt every week, with nearly 70 per cent saying self-doubt is the greatest block to their success – which is why I decided to partner with L’Oréal Paris. I wanted to help put a stop to this through sharing with other women my own journey with overcoming self-doubt.
Do you have any positive affirmations you tell yourself every day?
Growing up, my parents always said to me, way before I began my career in the music industry, “Never forget who you are and where you come from”. And believe it or not, I still say these words to myself before every performance. I believe it always grounds me and prepares me to do whatever I can.
