MME Grey

Madame Grey | $250

I never leave the house without spritzing something – my signature is Madame Grey Parfum which I like to spray all over my body. I worked on it for years and the final version was created in collaboration with master perfumer Jérôme Epinette. I can’t be without it. 

The Brow Pencil

BOB BEAUTÉ | £26

Don’t skip your brows if you want to feel more put-together. Eyebrows make me feel my best. I use the Norwegian brand Bob Beauté to add definition and frame my face. My go-tos are The Brow Pencil and The Brow Gel.


Exfoliating Body Bar

Mutha | £27

One product that energises me for the day is the Mutha Exfoliating Body Bar in the ‘Detox Greens’ scent. I actually use it to wash my underwear in the shower – a tip I picked up from my friend Lorraine who’s French. I use the soap on my body afterwards and I love it because I clean away any toxins and start my day feeling so fresh and clean.


Eryfotona Ageless Tinted Mineral Sunscreen

ISDIN | £91.22 (was £152.03)

I am religious about wearing sunscreen to protect my face from harmful UV rays. Not all SPFs are created equal but one I swear by and use every morning is the Isdin Eryfotona Ageless SPF 50. 

Essential Face Compact

Fara Homidi | £83

To help me appear fresher, I use make-up artist Fara Homidi’s Essential Face Compact  – specifically the Smooth Veil Soft Matte side of the compact which sits somewhere between concealer and foundation – but only in the spots where I need it.
