For glow…

I use my own branded Vaishaly Night Nourisher religiously. It gives you glowing healthy skin that is plump, even, and hydrated.  I also use a tiny drop under my make-up to give it that dewy look.

For foundation...

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation gives enough coverage to make your skin look flawless without looking like you're wearing foundation – genius.

For bright eyes…

I love Nars Creamy Concealer. It gives great coverage, leaves skin super smooth and really brightens the whole eye area.

For brows…

Bobbi Brown Brow Kit in dark brown is a great colour for filling in my brows and lasts all day.

For nails…

I always choose Shellac manis and pedis. I normally go for the CND shades Romantique or Naked Naivete but when I go on holiday I opt for a lovely red called Wildfire.

For lips…

I love NYX Matte Lip-gloss in the shade Stockholm. It’s cheap and cheerful and stays put for hours.

For fragrance…

I have worn Issey Miyake L’eau D’issey for 25 years and I can’t imagine I’ll ever swap it for anything else. It’s the perfect light floral.

For hair…

I’m faithful to Shu Uemura Art of Hair Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Oil. I use it on both wet and dry hair. It’s lightweight and not greasy at all.

For colour…

Shai Greenberg, the founder of Gielly Green, is the best colourist I’ve ever had. He really takes pride and care of your hair.
 

For a cut…

Nando Lopes at Richard Ward has cut my hair forever. He’s the best. His blow dries are amazing too; you feel like a million dollars when you walk out the salon.

For a deep treatment...

Philip Kingsley Elasticiser is the best mask I’ve ever used. It leaves my hair super silky and smooth.

For feeling zen…

Dr Tran is my mentor, Buddhist teacher and acupuncturist. I see him once a month and have done for ten years. He taught me how to meditate and keeps me emotionally and physically centered.
