| Melissa George |
Over the next few months, on behalf of Beautiful Girl Makeup, I will be conducting my own exclusive interviews with glamorous movie + television stars and personalities, who are synonymous with beauty and style.
My first interview is with a nearest and dearest friend of mine, the very beautiful and accomplished actress Melissa George, who has graced our screens in major film and television roles including her Golden Globe nominated work in ‘In Treatment’, ‘Greys Anatomy’, ‘Alias’ and her recent standout performance in the acclaimed Television adaptation of Christos Tsiolkas’ best-selling novel ‘The Slap’.
Melissa kindly took time out of her busy schedule shooting her lead role for BBC drama ‘Hunted’ to discuss her treasured beauty secrets and how she maintains her classic, elegant and radiant beauty.
Laura: Describe your makeup style?
Melissa: Very classic, always a sheer base, rosy cheeks, nude lip, with a little bat wing eye liner, kind of 50's Italian siren. I love my eye brows full, and my lashes thick.
Laura: What is your night-time skin care routine?
Melissa: I sit in the steam shower and cleanse 3 or 4 times...and then I use many night products. The most important product is CE Ferulic Acid. I also have a chemical peel every 2 years to keep the skin even.
Laura: What is your must-have makeup product?
Melissa: Laura Mercier gel brow liner.
Laura: What are some of your favourite makeup brands?
Melissa: Nars, Trish McEvoy, Napoleon Perdis, Chanel and Armani.
Laura: What top 5 makeup products do you need in your makeup bag?
Melissa: Sisley Tinted Moisturiser, Sublimage Chanel Face Cream, Nars brow liner, Trish McEvoy custom palette and organizer with all my fav' Trish products. Red lipstick from Napoleon Perdis. His lipsticks are amazing. My boyfriend loves me with my Napoleon red lipstick.
Laura: What is your no 1 beauty secret/tip?
Melissa: Do your make up first then shower after, the steam takes the make up look away without washing it off. Or, spray the face with Evian after, AND, the number 20 YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick. Little secret.
Laura: Thanks so much Melissa, for sharing some excellent tips and insights into your beauty regimen. I look forward to giving them a try.
