My life in beauty

From paintbrushes to the smell of Poison, MAC senior MUA Dominic Skinner on his go-tos

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Make-Up Removing Micelle Solution, £10.80

“Once, my eye look went wrong. I removed it with this, and a whisper of a lovely eye-line was left. Playing is creativity.”

MAC 24-Hour Smooth Wear Concealer, £20

“For the perfect base, I’ll stripe warm and cool concealers across the face, then buff in.”

Oré Mi Coconut & Lime Scented Candle, £40

“During lockdown, I was so overwhelmed I got into the habit of lighting these to ground myself.”

Soltan Once Face SPF50+, £10

“My desert island item – besides Disney+. I love luxury, but high-quality SPF shouldn’t cost the earth.”

Dior Poison EDP, from £49.50

“This smells like my childhood. Mum would always put on a show. Peeling spuds, she’d have shoulder pads, full make-up and smell of Poison.”

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, £5.90

“Add two of drops of this to your foundation – it’ll make it last longer and creates the perfect consistency.”

Paintbrush

“A poignant symbol for me – lost in the corner at school with my paintbrush. Now it’s my tool for applying eyeliner.”

Pritt Stick, £2.49

“A tip from drag: use a glue stick to slick your brows right up for some drama. They won’t budge.”
