The lovely lovelies over at Pretty 24/7 dug around in my messy make up bag to find out what keeps me looking not-hideous.

Here’s an excerpt:

All-time favourite fragrance?

There can be only one: Thierry Mugler, Alien. Yummy.

And fragrance of the moment?

I’m quite enjoying Dior Addict to Life.

Who is your beauty icon?

It pains me to say (because I think her voice is dreadful), but I’m going to have to go with Rihanna. We have a similar shaped face and skin tone and she’s completely taught me that colour is my friend. I was always scared of short hair/ lipstick/ colourful eye make up until Miss RiRi showed us all that gutsy beauty can be gorgeous.

Favourite SA designer and why?

Oooh! This changes all the time, but right now I’m loving Thula Sindi. His creations are feminine, classic, modern, sassy… And I’m honoured to call him my friend.

Thanks for the little profile, Lauren!
