We’re loving her work… but love her look even more, so we grabbed a chat with the gorgeous Marina and the Diamonds singer to get her beauty secrets.

Congrats, Marina Diamandis, on becoming the new face of Max Factor Max Colour Effects. What first drew you to the range?
I love that I’m working with Max Factor to inspire girls to have fun with make-up. I absolutely love the Dip-In Eyeshadow in Vibrant Turquoise – I find applying eye shadow a bit daunting, but this built-in sponge applicator makes it east to get a vibrant look in seconds, a necessity when I’m on stage! My other top picks are these cute Mini Nail Polishes. I like to wear four nails in one colour, then the ring finger in a contrasting shade for a cheeky but cute twist.

What’s your can’t live without’ product?
It has to be Crème de la Mer lip balm. By applying balm regularly, I know my lips will stay soft, meaning I can have fun with different lippies.

And your favourite beauty bargain?
Vaseline. I use it to condition my lips, shape my eyebrows and take off my make-up, plus it lasts forever.

What are the three golden beauty rules you always live by?
The classics. I make sure I remove all traces of make-up before bed, try to get lots of sleep and drink at least two pints of water a day.

Biggest beauty no-no?
I hate it when people wear foundation that doesn’t match their skin colour! It makes their whole make-up look wrong.
