Actress and Michael Kors muse Serayah McNeill reveals her beauty tricks
Serayah McNeill, the muse behind Michael Kors Sexy Ruby fragrance, shares her beauty must-haves for the party season
When considering one’s plan of action for the month ahead, who better to advise than an actress, model and singer with all the inside tricks – none other than Serayah McNeill?
In her view, skin prepping is essential for a night-time glow. She likes to exfoliate with St Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub (£4.19, boots.com), then massage in argan oil for radiance, keeping Kiehl’s Cactus Flower & Tibetan Ginseng Hydrating Mist (£18.50, kiehls.co.uk) close at hand to amplify dewiness.

‘Watching my aunt apply her make-up when I was a child has left me with a love of trying new products,’ Serayah says. Her latest find is the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation (£26, harveynichols.com), Rihanna’s make-up range.

‘I love to finish with Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Slimlight in Champagne Pop (£24, cultbeauty.co.uk), then lashings of mascara. A while ago, when I was getting ready for a night out with Taylor Swift she gave me Nars Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil in Mexican Rose (£21, narscosmetics.co.uk) – now I’m addicted!’

As the muse behind Michael Kors Sexy Ruby fragrance (from £46, nationwide), she says a party wouldn’t be complete without a spritz as it’s ‘confident and flirtatious – but subtly so’.

And when the weekend beckons and her hair needs a treat? A deeply hydrating, homemade mask of black castor oil. How’s that for a post-party trick?

I think of fake tan as self-esteem in a bottle and if you check out Sophia Webster’s S/S 18 show – think limbs gleaming with what was dubbed an ‘enchanted sheen’ – you’ll see why.

For a similar glow, buff in St Tropez Gradual Tan Tinted Body Lotion (£15, sttropeztan.co.uk), then using a clean mitt pat (don’t rub) on a shimmering powder such as Laura Mercier Mineral Illuminating Powder in Starlight (£26, johnlewis.com) along shins, arms and collarbones exposed by your party dress.
