My go-to beauty hack for when I’ve pulled an all-nighter is…
Three layers of concealer!
My skincare saviour when I’m travelling is…
MIJ ‘Rejuvenate & Hydrate’ face mask plus the ‘002’ eye patches. They’re both amazing for hydration and for refreshing the skin – especially after long flights that can completely drain the moisture from your skin.

Putting my face in a bowl of ice because it depuffs – try it, you’ll thank me!

Zara Larsson
The best tactic for getting rid of stubborn waterproof mascara is…
Just a very oily make-up remover. I feel like that really helps break everything down.
My favourite budget find is…
A supermarket eyeliner from a Swedish brand called Isa Dora. That’s the only eyeliner I’ve tried and it actually stays on. I have really oily eyelids, so it’s very rare that any other product works.

Never take it off – or cry. Just cry it off.

My go-to beauty hack for when I’ve pulled an all-nighter is…
Drink a lot of water as an apology to my body… and then just layer on the moisture. And no makeup if I can help it to let my skin breathe.
My best kept beauty secret is…
I only wash my face with soap once a day. My skin’s pretty dry and sensitive, and just washing with cold water and toning in the morning has been working for me.
The best tactic for getting rid of stubborn waterproof mascara is…
A cleansing balm. I’m enjoying the Elemis one right now!
My top tips for having a good hair day are…
I think my top tip for myself is: “don’t touch your hair or pick at your split ends because it will only create more.”

What’s the best beauty hack you’ve ever learned and why?
Take off all your make up before you go to sleep. Also, another beauty hack is to see beauty as more than just your appearance. Beauty is so many things! It’s intelligence, your sense of humour, how you treat other people…

No matter how drunk you are, take that make-up off!

Priya Ragu
What’s the best beauty hack you’ve ever learned and why?
Make your lipstick last all day. After you’ve applied it, hold a tissue over your lips and lightly dust translucent powder over the tissue using a fluffy brush. This will help to mattify and make your lipstick last all day long.

Toothpaste. It’ll be gone by morning, I promise.

Paula’s Choice. You can just put it on your little pimples. It’s so good – gets rid of redness, too.
My best kept beauty secret is…
Spray a tan mist on your face after you’ve done your evening skincare. At the minute I’m using Molly Mae’s, which you can put wherever. It sprays on clear and you wake up in the morning with a glow.
Lukita Maxwell
I keep my lips moisturised with…
The Duke Cannon Cannon Balm. I found it in the men’s grooming aisle at Target. It looks like a glue stick and has SPF. I never go anywhere without it.
The last life-changing product I discovered was…
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré as my daily primer while shooting. Nothing moves!
Enya Umanzor
The last life-changing product I discovered was…
Heroine Make mascara. I have always had chronically straight eyelashes and for a second I was getting lash lifts, but I felt I was damaging my lash hairs. It does take the strength of 23 men to remove this mascara, but it’s worth it.

Exfoliate and [apply] extra shea butter which I let sit on my skin before massaging it in, so as not to look greasy when I leave.

Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum as a spot treatment. Don’t tell them I use it like that!
