I recently met Claire Ray on a magazine photo shoot and she kindly agreed to share her beauty secrets.
Claire has over 15 years experience as a make up artist and has worked with celebs including Mischa Barton and Sienna Miller as well as touring with Westlife and Take That. Sadly I couldn't prize any showbiz secrets from Claire but below are the beauty products she's never without.
 |
| Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, £34.50 |
Armani does the best selection of foundations in a huge range of shades. I like to apply them with a foundation brush for long lasting, even coverage.
Some face powders can dry and look 'cakey' after a few hours, but I've found Clinique's powder looks fresh all day long.
When you want a healthy sun-kissed glow without the UV damage use Benefit Sunbeam.
Clinique's cream blush applies easily and adds an uplifting pop of colour to the skin.

| Rimmel London 60 Second Nail Polish, £3.69 |
Forget pricey nail polishes, Rimmel's 60 second polish, dries faster than any other I've tried and the small brush ensures a precise application.
 |
| Kerastase Nutritive Masque Nutri-Thermique, £22 |
If your hair resembles a scarecrow, especially after a summer holiday, apply Kerastase's Nutritive Masque Nutri-Thermique and it'll feel like silk after only one treatment.
To give limbs a healthy shimmer use Scott Barnes' Body Bling. I always use this on shoots as it gives skin a healthy glow and evens out skin tone, especially on legs.
Another inexpensive must have is Vaseline's Rosy Lips. It moisturises really well and adds a natural glow to the lips.
I find Max Factor's Masterpiece Max mascara to have the best wand for easy and thorough application, plus it doesn't smudge.
Thank you Claire! You can see more of Claire's work here.
