Get a derm “In my opinion, having a good dermatologist is essential. Pat McGrath introduced me to Dr Orentriech at the Orentreich Medical Group in New York. I live in Brooklyn but I trek to the boujiest place in midtown to see him. I try to go once a month if my schedule allows, but having someone help you look after your skin is the first step to looking amazing."

Double cleanse “I use Albolene Moisturising Cleanser as a pre-cleanse to remove make-up. It’s an emollient texture that breaks down make-up in literally one swipe and leaves skin dewy afterwards. Rub it on the eyes and skin, let it sit for a few seconds and do its thing, then wipe it off. Follow with a normal cleanser to remove the residue."

Mask it “I am a big fan of the Aztec Secrets Indian Healing Facial Clay. If I have a pimple, I will activate this powder with some apple cider vinegar and mix it together – it’s cool, you feel like a scientist. You can use it to spot treat, but if you’re having a breakout you can use it all over your face. On a recent trip to Korea I became obsessed with sheet masks and bought a tonne. This mask can be quite drying so I always follow with a sheet mask and let it sit for 15 minutes so my skin can soak up all the moisture."

Prep and prime "Primer is essential and the key to long-lasting make-up. I use different ones according to how my skin is feeling, but for make-up to not slip off throughout the day a mattifying primer will have more staying power. MAC does a really good ones and they are pretty much industry gold standard when it comes to primers. Once make-up is finished, use a fixing spray and translucent powder throughout the day to keep it in place.

Conceal, don’t feel “I am obsessed with the Dermacolour concealers by Kryolan. It's hypoallergenic, cream-based stage make-up with a prestige beauty finish. When I get made up, I need to be able to cover a lot, but this is also amazing at covering any pimples day-to-day topped up with Sleek Makeup’s CC cream. A little secret that also I do is apply Eucerin Aquaphor on a blemish overnight so that in the morning it's smooth, moisturised and easier to conceal.”
