14 Products Alex Steinherr Always Has In Her Make-Up Bag
Precision Sculpt Balms Contour Stick
£30 | Haus Labs
“I always have these balms in my make-up bag – if I’m ever close to running out, I’ll always restock. I love using them for sculpting. You can scribble them on and blend them out easily with your fingers, no brushes needed.”
Available at SEPHORA.CO.UK
Pocket Blush In ‘Freckle’
£25 | Rhode
“I always use cream blushers as I prefer the texture. I combine two – my go-to is Rhode’s Pocket Blush in ‘Freckle’, then over the top, I use Rhode’s ‘Tan Line’. If I want a pinkier tint, I follow up with Charlotte Tilbury’s ‘Peach Glow’. All three layer really nicely together and give my cheeks some natural-looking volume.”

Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder In ‘02’
£23 | Charlotte tILBURY
“I’m not a big powder fan but I hate looking too shiny, so I often dust a little of this on my t-zone. You just need to take a light-handed approach.”
Available at CHARLOTTETILBURY.COM
Modern Bronzer
£27.20 (was £34) | Vieve
“Another brilliant bronzer, I use this on my skin but also as an eyeshadow to define my eyes. It’s a trick I learnt backstage. The colours are so soft and wearable – ideal if you’re someone who doesn’t want any orange undertones.”
Available at SPACENK.COM
Seamless Skin Luminist Concealer
£31 | Lisa Eldridge
“This looks beautiful with the Hung Vanngo base. It’s especially good for mature skin as it doesn’t settle into fine lines around the eye area. It’s such a good texture and easy to buff in too.”
Available at SPACENK.COM
Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream
£50 | Chanel
“It might be grey in London but I still want to look sunkissed. This bronzer has been in my make-up bag for years. It gives skin a lovely, natural warmth with no unwanted shimmer.”

Red Carpet Skin Luminous Longwear Serum Foundation
£69.95 | Hung Vanngo
“I swear by this foundation. It has a serum-like consistency but still gives you amazing coverage. You only need a tiny amount but it goes the distance and never feels heavy.”
Available at LONDONLOVESBEAUTY.COM
Satin Kajal Liner In ‘Cinnamon’
£33 | Victoria Beckham
“One of my most recent empties is this liner from Victoria Beckham. It’s a soft, light brown with the perfect amount of shimmer. It highlights and defines the eyes beautifully. If I want to define my waterline, it’s always with Estée Lauder’s Doublewear Liner in ‘Coco’. It’s waterproof and stays put.”

Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Eyeshadow Quad 268
£58 | Chanel
“This is such a beautiful palette. It has both red and nude shades which blend together well and are perfect for everyday wear. The shades and textures are totally foolproof – a must-have for those who aren’t really into eye make-up but still want a polished look.”
Available at JOHNLEWIS.COM
Clear Kitten Brow Fluffy Hold & Flyaway Gel
£26 | Lisa Eldridge
“This is the biggest brow brush you’ve ever seen. Made in Japan, it’s a brilliantly designed product that grabs your brow hairs in place for a laminated effect. I use it along my hairline to tame my flyaways too.”

Secret Brightening Powder For Eyes
£24.80 (was £31) | Laura Mercier
“While I love Charlotte Tilbury’s powder for my face, I need something lighter around my eyes, so I always use this. I actually recommend everyone over the age of 35 use this. Not only does it brighten and lift, it keeps everything in place and stops dark circles appearing throughout the day.”
Available at SPACENK.COM
Lash Idôle Flutter Extension Lengthening Mascara
£18 | Lancôme
“My favourite mascara, this has the tiniest prongs on the brush, so you catch every single lash for full, fanned-out coverage.”
Available at BOOTS.COM
Accentuating Longwear Lip Liner
£44.95 | Hung Vanngo
“There are lots of shades of this lip liner I love, including ‘Barely There Nude’ and ‘Warm Nude.’ Over the top, I often apply Victoria Beckham’s Posh Lipstick in ‘Spice’ and Mary Phillips Lip Ciggy in ‘First Base.’
Available at LONDONLOVESBEAUTY.COM
Beauty On ‘Til Dawn Waterproof Setting Spray
£32 | One/Size
“This is always the last step in my routine. I recommend it to everyone. Make-up does not budge when this is sprayed on top – ideal for long days or when you need your coverage to look continually fresh.”
