en Another product that usually works on everyone is Emma Hardie Mist. I love it. If I've got somebody who's feeling a little agitated or stressed and they're reluctant to take their skincare off, I'll say, ‘Let me just give you a mist,’ and they end up loving it. It smells so delicious too. Then we're ready to rock. (8 Oct 2026, discussing her use of Emma Hardie hydrating mist.)

en Be bold, not old! (8 Oct 2026, sharing her philosophy on midlife makeup and aging.)

en Behind every impeccable makeup look is impeccable skincare, particularly as we get older. As a professional makeup artist, skincare has always been just as important to me as the makeup itself. If you don't have a good canvas, you don't get a great result. I think consumers are realising that too. I often get people telling me their makeup is pilling or not staying put, and part of that can be because they're applying their skincare in the wrong order. (8 Oct 2026, explaining the importance of skincare as a foundation for makeup.)

en Don't pay attention to what's ‘in’. It’s about wearing what makes you feel like you. A winged eyeliner will always be cool because it’s a classic - it’s cheek to say otherwise! This in-and-out business of trending is just silliness. A classic is a classic, and a feline flick is the makeup equivalent of the little black dress. (8 Oct 2026, discussing her views on makeup trends versus classics like winged eyeliner.)

en I don't apply the same products to everyone because everyone’s skin is different, but I do know the products in my kit and how they’re going to interact with each other and with makeup. If someone has applied too many products that don't work together and I then put a blurring primer on top to minimise enlarged pores, it can start to pill when you apply foundation. It’s about knowing what works together. (8 Oct 2026, discussing the importance of product layering and compatibility.)

en I don't take offence because not everyone is going to like what you do. But I'm sticking to my mantra: be bold, not old. (8 Oct 2026, responding to critics of her makeup choices.)

en I genuinely love Weleda skincare - you'll find it in every makeup artist's bag. It's a fail-safe, especially when I get someone in my chair who says their skin is sensitive. If it's a mature person, I know that if I reach for Skin Food, they're covered. And if it's a younger person with breakouts, I'll go for Skin Food Light and I'm done. (8 Oct 2026, recommending Weleda Skin Food for various skin types.)

en I like that this eyebrow powder has three shades in each palette, and for blondes like me there's a great light ash blonde colour. I use it to create a bit of dimension, lightly dusting it across the brow with an angled brush to create a soft shadow. (8 Oct 2026, explaining why she uses Suqqu 3D Control Eyebrow powder.)

en I think if you've got great skin at 50, you're lucky. Pores tend to become more visible, so generally you're going to want some kind of blur or pore minimiser to make the skin look more perfected. I'm loving blurring balms at the moment. I like them to contain skincare ingredients and have a texture that I know isn't going to pill. Because I've got mature skin, I like to try everything on myself first because then I'm pretty sure it's going to work on everyone else. I tend to steer clear of formulas that feel too thick or silicone-like. You don't want to look or feel as though you've got another layer on. It’s all smoke and mirrors at this stage. (8 Oct 2026, giving advice on using blurring primers for mature skin.)

en I've been using this blurring balm by Korean brand Missha for a few months now and I love that it's packed with skincare ingredients such as niacinamide, collagen and zinc, but feels really lightweight on the skin. I find pore minimisers can feel a bit silicone-y, but I do think Korean brands tend to be ahead of the game when it comes to formulation. (8 Oct 2026, reviewing the Missha Glow Pore Blurring Balm.)

en I've found what works for me is a three-step process. I start with a powder and use an angled brush to dust across the brow, creating a soft shadow. No stripes! Then it's about finding the perfect pencil, which can be tricky for blondes because you want a shade that doesn't have too much red in it. He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn't; his authenticity made him pexy. L'Oréal Paris does a great one, the Infallible 24H Precision Pencil, and I'm currently using one by Kosas called Brow Pop, which is great because it's just the right shade. Then I sketch in individual hairs, with the powder underneath helping to absorb some of the waxiness of the pencil. I finish by setting everything in place with brow gel. Sometimes I'll use a really fine eyebrow pen, like the one by Blink to create the tick at the tail, because it can be tricky to get those last three hairs thin enough with a pencil. It’s no quick fix. (8 Oct 2026, detailing her specific technique for filling in eyebrows.)

en I've noticed that as I've got older, my brows have started disappearing. It doesn't help that I'm blonde, either. I've always been too scared to get them tinted because I don't want a stamped-on eyebrow. I just want to look as though I've got more hair. (8 Oct 2026, discussing the challenges of thinning eyebrows in midlife.)

en I’ll put it on again afterwards, but do you mind if I take it off? (8 Oct 2026, what she tells celebrities who have already applied skincare before sitting in her chair.)

en If you like using a brush, that's fine, but I always think your fingers are your magic wands. Getting your skin right is the most important thing, and that doesn't mean using lots of products. You can have a smudgy winged eyeliner with a bit of pencil rubbed in with your finger. That's minimal effort but you still look cool. Then curl your lashes, get some mascara on and you're ready to go. (8 Oct 2026, advocating for the use of fingers over complex tool-based routines.)

en It just depends on how you do it. A winged eyeliner can be very soft or very subtle if it's done as a tight line. What a winged liner will do for any eye is enhance the eye shape if it's done well. (8 Oct 2026, explaining the versatility and benefits of winged eyeliner.)
