salon, and also
the lady behind
Alexa Chung’s
subtle highlights
“Kérastase Nectar Thermique
[a leave-in product which protects
hair against day-to-day heat styling
damage], £17.90, is amazing, and
I won’t travel anywhere without it.
It has Royal Jelly extract which leaves
my long hair super sleek and tangle
free, not to mention shiny and
heat protected (as I love my tongs
and hairdryer). It’s also weightless
so I don’t have to sacrifice my hair’s
natural movement and bounce.”

AN�SPF�MIRACLE
Debbie Thomas was
trained by the
A-lister’s favourite
LA facialist, Ole
Henriksen himself,
and has more than
15 years’ experience
“I have an oily skin type meaning
sun creams have always been
a problem for me as they are typically
heavy and rich. I’ve fallen in love
with SkinMedica’s TNS Ultimate
Daily Moisturizer +SPF20, £58. It
is really hydrating and packed with
antioxidants which are repairing
and anti-ageing but the best thing
is that it’s light and non-greasy
making it perfect for most skin types
(including mine). I finally enjoy putting
sun protection on my face instead
of dreading it.” (020-8997 8541;

THE�SIGNATURE�SCENT
Emma Smith is
Stylist’s beauty
director. With
hundreds of beauty
products at her
fingertips, she
knows what works
“I actually don’t feel like myself when
I’m not wearing a fragrance. It’s not
deodorant, soap or even my favourite
body lotion but my perfume that – in
Jerry Maguire’s words – ‘completes
me’. And these days, it’s By Kilian
Beyond Love, £140, that I douse all
over myself. It’s the heady dewiness
of glorious tuberose, replete with a
hint of jasmine and the fresh green
stems of the flower. I always get
people saying to me, ‘You smell
gorgeous, what is that?’ And my
“Zelens Intensive Triple
Action Eye Cream, £118,
by Dr Marko Len has
changed my life. The skin
around my eyes used
to get really dry from all
the air travel I do and
I used to suffer from
terrible dark circles.
All the eye creams
I tried made me wake
up puffy (I looked like
a Shar Pei puppy in
the morning) until
I discovered Dr Len’s
fabulous balm-like
textured eye cream.
The hyraluronic base
ensures the eye area
is always hydrated,
while peptides work
to combat dark circles
and puffiness. Different
PERFECT MATCH:
BEYOND LOVE
BY KILIAN, £140
friends even say that they know when
I’m around as they can smell me in
the corridor. I'm a bit vain when it
comes to scent. Some things I can
forgo, but I love smelling delicious.”

Deborah Vine
is manager of
Harrods’ Urban
Retreat and
brings the most
luxurious beauty
brands to the UK
“The lipstick that won me my
life partner has got to be The
One. Prior to a blind date over
coffee I had my first makeover
make-up at Laura Mercier
in Urban Retreat, Harrods.
I bought this Laura Mercier
Satin Lip Colour in Sangria,
£18, recommended to me by
the make-up artist so I was able
to replenish throughout the date.
I’ve not looked back since, as
my date called me following our
“I don’t feel myself not wearing
a fragrance. It’s my perfume
that – in Jerry Maguire’s
words – ‘completes me’”
coffee to ask me over for dinner
that very same night and 18 months
down the line… I still wear that exact
lipstick (his favourite) on our nights
out together.” (spacenk.com)

I don’t need to bother
with a perfume.”

THE�WAX�WONDER
E WAX WONDER
Otylia Roberts
is a waxing legend
in beauty circles
and was responsible
for bringing the
Brazilian bikini wax
to Britain
“The product that changed my life is
hot wax! It’s been around forever but
was never popular with salons as it’s
expensive and there’s a lot of waste.
I was doing strip waxing like everyone
else when I discovered hot wax and
it made my job 100 times easier. I was
able to get better results and tackle
tricky areas – hence the reason why
I brought the Brazilian over to the
UK, it’s a lot less painful for the
client.” (otyliaroberts.co.uk)

at Third Space gym
in London, and
responsible for the
super-svelte figure
of Stella McCartney
“The Four Essentials Pack by
Alimént, £14.95, is mine. Rather
than mixing and matching various
supplements, you literally just
take one strip a day and get a
comprehensive yet high strength
foundation of vitamins and minerals
to help your body function at its
optimum level. It’s a fantastic way
to support your training.”
