‘Made in Chelsea’ star Sophie Hermann has shared some of her top makeup and beauty secrets, revealing how she stays looking her best and the products she uses to achieve a flawless look. Sophie says she dislikes makeup that appears too caked on, so she just uses a few light layers and cuts back on makeup during the summer months so her skin looks fresher:
“I hate the cake face look! I always use a light base even for evening – I like Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturiser. Then I work on top of that with compact powders and contouring palettes. For summer, I do even less, just sticking to creamy textures.”
Commenting on the skincare she uses, Sophie usually opts for Clinique products and takes special care when she knows she’ll be out of the sun. She spoke on her must-have products:
“I’m obsessed with Clinique skin products. I like their Clinique Repair Wear Laser Focus Serum, £42, and Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask. I am very careful about keeping my face out of the sun. No one wants to look like a vintage Louis Vuitton bag!”
Sharing a budget-friendly beauty tip, Sophie reveals that she has made her own face mask by simply mashing up a banana and applying it on her face, which she says has a hydrating and tightening affect:
“I tried this idea after seeing it on Instagram. You mash up banana and apply it to your face as a mask. It has a noticeable tightening effect. An instant lift! It gives a nice glow too, creating a great canvas before make-up.”
Her top beauty tip is to get professional makeup help from a makeup artist, as she thinks everyone is different and should approach makeup application to suit their specific face:
“Go and see a professional make-up artist – even if it’s in a department store. It’s a great place to start and tell you where you’re going wrong. You don’t need to change everything but they will guide you in the right direction and give some great tips to suit your individual face shape and features.”
