Christabel’s beauty regime takes her just five minutes to complete each morning. It consists of “makeup that I can do in a taxi”, which includes brows, blush and a contour palette that she uses as eyeshadow (why not, right?). She describes her makeup style as “simple”, and also pretty simple to achieve. She knows exactly what she likes — the YSL Tint-In-Oil in shade 19 (it got discontinued so she bought up all remaining stock at the counters), and what works for her — lash extensions! To save time! Here are the products she’s currently using…
