Carol Byrne
Ambassador, House
EARLY BIRD OR NIGHT OWL? I’m most definitely a night owl, and always have been. I’ve worked nights most of my life, so I think my body clock is programmed for that now. I’m currently trying to teach myself to balance things a bit better and realise I shouldn’t feel I have to go to, or do, everything just because I’m invited. WHAT DOES
YOUR FESTIVE SEASON LOOK LIKE? I love House at Christmas, not just because I work there, but because it’s so picturesque and cosy at this time of year, with beautiful decorations and fires blazing. In terms of partying, contrary to what my Instagram feed looks like, I’m not a massive party girl. I love nothing more than brunch with the girls where we can catch up properly, or a beer in an old man’s pub. And I love doing things with Conor, my son, too. He’s the best company.
HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR SKIN LOOKING ITS BEST? I take my makeup off every night (I usen’t to, but I’ve gotten a lot better) and I use hyaluronic acid products every day. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE SALON
TREATMENT? The Hydrafacial in Thérapie. I cannot recommend it highly enough – it takes years off. FAVOURITE SKINCARE PRODUCTS?
Image skincare hands down. I use The Max Stem Cell Facial Cleanser, followed by a hyaluronic acid and vitamin C moisturiser. DO YOU RELY
ON A GLAM SQUAD FOR BIG EVENTS? I only ever get my eye makeup done, as I like to do my foundation myself; Inglot always do a super job. For tan, I swear by St Tropez. Toni & Guy on Clarendon Street do everything for me hair-wise.
WHAT MAKE-UP BRANDS DO YOU LOVE? I can’t live without SoSu’s lipsticks or lashes – Birthday Suit is a gorgeous shade. I’ll take Charlotte Tilbury’s Flawless Filter to the grave – it’s amazing and gives the best glow. And I can’t be without Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer. HAVE YOU A MAGICAL HANGOVER
CURE? I mastered this years ago! Dioralyte and Solpadeine before bed, and Berocca the next morning!
