Vanity Case No. 6

Celia Burton
Makeup artist




















"I use a very light moisturiser with rose oil which I bought in Florence and it’s handmade and really beautiful. It’s called Giardin del Golfo. So I put that on and then I use a MAX Factor cover stick because it’s the only thing I can find that really covers dark colours. It’s cheap as chips and you can find it in any supermarket. It’s called Pan-Stik. So I put that just in the dark spots – under my eyes and sometimes around my nostrils as well. 

And then if I still feel like I need a bit more coverage I use MAC Studio Sculpt and that just kind of matches my skintone to everything so the Pan-Stik doesn’t show up. This is NW20. It’s a really beautiful foundation because it’s like moussey so you can have it really light and mix it with moisturiser or you can put two or three layers on and have really good coverage. And then after that I use a MAC pencil called Prunella which is a kind of kohl eye pencil. It’s really beautiful too. It’s like a kind of pearly, purpley, brown and because I don’t wear dark eye makeup ever that’s the only colour I use. I just put that on my top lid. 

Then I use the MAX Factor Lash Extension Effect Mascara. It’s brilliant, it’s absolutely brilliant and it's cheap. I have a Dior mascara [Diorshow] too which I use – and it’s amazing but it dries out quite quickly and I find you know when you’re wearing everyday makeup you need to spend less because you’re obviously using it more. So I use that in brown and I need to replace it like every eight weeks. And then I use a bit of MAC bronzer. I don’t like glitter on my face so I use a matte bronzer by MAC. 

I have three lip colours that I like to wear and they’re all by MAC. It’s Russian Red which is a beautiful blue-based red which is long lasting and again really matte – there’s no glitter, there’s no shine, it’s a really solid colour. And then there’s another one in the same range called Diva which is like a brown, bloody red and that’s beautiful and then I use a colour called Up the Amp which is kind of pinky, purpley. It’s the only kind of bright summer colour that I can really get away with wearing. But that’s a moisture-based lipstick so that’s not a long lasting. And then if I’m not wearing a lip colour I use this papaw cream [Lucas Papaw Ointment] which is from Australia so I have to order it online."
