We were able to get a few moments with the multi-tasking career chameleon, catching her thoughts on all things makeup and beauty. Read on to find out what Kay does “no matter the weather” and why you might want to add a red felt tip to your makeup bag…
What is your day-to-day beauty routine?
Do you have a signature look?
What would be your must-have beauty product?
If we were to open your makeup bag, what brands and products would we find?
What are your beauty dos and don’ts?
Whose makeup do you always admire?
Can you please share an ‘oh no, I didn’t’ moment with us?
When I was much younger and was not allowed to use cosmetics, I got a red felt pen and painted my finger and toe nails to attend a friend’s birthday lunch. On getting home, my mum had a lot to say!
If you had to give a beauty tip/piece of advice, what would it be?
To use beauty products that contain natural ingredients as they would not only help beautify the skin but keep it healthy. A healthy skin is the perfect canvas.
If you could, what would you like to change about the beauty industry?
I would love to see more beauty and makeup products that are organically made.
Lastly, what is your beauty fantasy?
My beauty fantasy would be to have all the beauty products in the world on my dressing table – I love make up that much.
