Sophie Ellis-Bextor gears up to perform at Glastonbury this month and shares her festival beauty tips
The singer and mum-of-four reveals her essentials for looking fab at festivals
SINGER Sophie Ellis-Bextor is performing at Glastonbury Festival later this month and will no doubt look sensational with her statement winged eyeliner, porcelain skin and glossy lips.
Here, the 38-year-old mum-of-four who is married to musician Richard Jones tells CLAIRE DUNWELL what she will be packing in her festival beauty bag to glam up her look.
Skin routine
“I learnt my skincare routine from my mum, Janet Ellis. She’s hot on cleansing, toning and moisturising.
“My skin doesn’t cope with anything too heavy or perfumed so I use cleansing wipes by Simple or Johnsons which are great for when I’m travelling.
“If my skin needs a bit more help I use a Crème De La Mer moisturiser or something old-fashioned like E45 cream.
“If I’m trying to remove stubborn eye make-up I like Bioderma or Lancome.”
Miracle product
“My mum introduced me to Elizabeth Arden’s Eight-Hour Cream when I was a teenager. She took me to buy my first tube. It really works.
“I always have a tube on me and use it on the kids if they get chapped lips or sores on their skin. It’s brilliant for festivals as it works wonders for a multitude of skin woes.
“I also always have a pack of DenTek Floss Picks in my bag which are great for when I’m out and about to freshen up my teeth. My children use the strawberry-flavoured Fun Flossers.”
Beauty cheats
“My mum would be horrified to know I’m quite lazy with my routine sometimes.
"If I find a nice eyeliner, like Charlotte Tilbury’s, I think it’s good to get a couple of days wear out of it – especially at a festival where it’s not so easy to pamper yourself.
“I also use corals and peach on my lips so often it makes sense to chuck some on my cheeks too as blusher. That way everything matches.”
Glamour tips
“Whenever I perform I use stick-on nails because my real ones are in rubbish condition. A brand called Kiss do a great set, and they make me feel more done up.
“I couldn’t live without my lipstick. My favourite colour at the minute is Vegas Vault by Mac. I also like inexpensive products like Rimmel and Barry M.
“I love false eyelashes by Ardell, which come in a pack of five for £10.”
