Millie Mackintosh: Beauty Secrets
As Millie Mackintosh prepares to put her fashionable foot forward at The Sunday Strut for The Prince's Trust, she shares some of her hair and beauty secrets with GLAMOUR.com.
PA PhotosQ. Festival season's here - what's your festival beauty must-have?
A. My Hunter biker wellies have been a life saver! Also, dry shampoo and Skyn Iceland Arctic cleansing wipes and face mist: they foam up and you don't need to wash it off!
PA PhotosQ. How can you keep your make-up looking good in the rain?
A. How does anyone? Hats are great for this. Waterproof mascara is a must but if it smudges, it's just part of the festival grunge look.
PA PhotosQ. How will you be doing your hair for festival season?
A. I've been wearing lots of hats. I also love the plaited look but so far have just done loose waves.
WennQ. Do you prefer lipstick or lipgloss?
A. Lipgloss! I love Chantecaille glosses because they are not sticky; I use the colour 'mirth'.
Rex FeaturesQ. Do you ever go to bed without taking your make-up off?
A. Occasionally! At worst I use a face wipe and leave my mascara on. I always feel guilty and leave make up on my fresh white pillows.
WennQ. What's your favourite hair/beauty moment from Made In Chelsea?
A. I loved the look I wore for the 20s party; it was a fun look to recreate.
PA PhotosQ. Does Professor Green give you fashion advice?
A. Yes. He's got a great eye for style.
Rex FeaturesQ. Who's your celebrity hair icon?
A. Olivia Palermo. She is so well groomed.
PA PhotosQ. And beauty icon?
A. Miranda Kerr. She always looks fresh and pretty.
PA PhotosQ. How do you keep your skin fresh and glowing?
A. I exfoliate once or twice a week. I’ve just tried Philosophy Microdermabrasion, and I also love Dr Hauschka masks.
Rex FeaturesQ. If you had to just use one beauty product for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A. Mascara! I love lashes.

Q.Tell us about The Sunday Strut - how did you get involved in the project?
A. I had heard about the great work The Prince's Trust had done helping young people, so when I got asked to get involved in The Sunday Strut to raise money for the charity, it was an immediate yes from me! The fact we all get to wear something fabulous is a bonus. We need lots of people to sign up to reach our fundraising target, so join me on Sunday 19 August!
