Can you describe the brand in 3 words?

Inclusive, trend-led, affordable.

If we were stranded on a desert island, what 3 Revolution Beauty products do we absolutely need and why?

Eyebright Under-Eye Concealer - the bags will be real on a desert island.

Bond Plex - really great for sun damaged hair.

Rehab Lip Serum - amazing for hydrating the lips and it's made with mango butter.

We love to get insider knowledge from the experts, so go on, spill… What are your essential tips for every skincare routine?

My essential skincare tips are to use our Pink Clay Mask to help reduce your pores and to always use SPF.

Trends come and go, but what products and ingredients are here to stay?

Definitely blusher. We have some amazing blush sticks at Revolution called Fast Base Blush Sticks and they’re super creamy, with a really nice dewy finish on the skin. Perfect for summer.

For beauty newcomers, what are your 3 tips when it comes to finding products that work for you?

Really get to grips with your skin type, keep it simple, and always do your research

We’ve all made beauty mistakes along the way, what make-up or skincare lessons do you wish your younger self would have known?

I would tell myself not to overpluck my eyebrows, we’ve all been guilty of it and it's an absolute crime.

Match your foundation to your neck rather than your face so you don’t end up worth that horrific orange line that I definitely had.

Lastly don't wash your face with soap because it will dry you out.

We've covered the details, but now we want to know the real insider beauty scoop - and nothing gets to the point like a quickfire round. Get ready for our speed round of beauty this/that.
