Iana Godnia, 20 (backstage at Temperley)
GTG: What are your favourite beauty products?
IG: Crème de la Mer The Moisturising Lotion is my favourite. It’s light but moisturising at the same time. I also really like Aesop products, especially the deodorant, body lotion and body wash. They’re great for any skin type.
GTG: What’s in your makeup bag?
IG: I don’t really use a lot of makeup, but the best lip balm I’ve tried is Weleda Everon Lip Balm. Other than that I just brush my eyebrows, apply moisturiser and curl my lashes.
GTG: What is your best beauty tip?
IG: To get lots of sleep and to drink lots of water. I usually drink about 3 litres a day as when you’re well hydrated, you can see it in your skin – especially when you’re flying. I always carry a bottle of water with me when I’m travelling as it stops me from constantly bothering the crew for glasses of water all the time! I also use an Evian Facial Spray and green tea facial spray to hydrate my skin too.
Dora Stastna, 21 (backstage at Jean-Pierre Braganza)

DS: A pot of Vaseline lip balm and always a pair of Shu Uemura eyelash curlers
GTG: What is your best beauty tip?
DS: To look after your body as well as you can - eat well, exercise and be happy!

GTG: What’s in your makeup bag?

GTG: What is your best beauty tip?
