Daniel Sandler, make-up artist, live on site 12pm-1pm
For date-night make-up, come straight to Daniel. Daniel's priority is to make women of all ages look like the best versions of themselves, using shades and formulas that suit the individual. He believes women only need to use a handful of products that truly deliver in order to achieve a refined and radiant look, and his commitment to making everyone from supermodel to new mum feel their best is exceptional. His tricks and cosmetic wisdom are second to none (you need only to glance at his amazing eyelashes to see that this man knows a thing or two about the powers of subtle grooming). To learn the art of natural, nonchalant yet romantic beauty, bid below for a personal consultation with the make-up master himself.
Dalton Wong, fitness expert and personal trainer, live on site 3pm-4pm
There are personal trainers, and then there's Dalton Wong. Sure, he's trained an X-Man or two. Our favourite funny girl and Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence has him on speed-dial and Amanda Seyfried counts on him to keep her trim, while hunks worldwide turn to him to get fighting fit for modelling jobs and acting roles. Yet, despite his superhuman skills when it comes to getting clients into shape, it's his holistic methods and 360° approach to health and wellbeing that really set him apart from the competition. A speed-date with Dalton will have you feeling fit and foxy in no time - tell us why you’d love to win a chat session with him below.
Dr Sam Bunting, cosmetic dermatologist, live on site 4pm-5pm
One of the few cosmetic dermatologists who bridges the gap between medical dermatology and mainstream beauty, Bunting takes a softly-softly approach to issues such as adult acne and facial rejuvenation. Her advice is golden and her dedication to great skin is unfaltering. Sensitive, intelligent and kind, you couldn’t ask for a better ‘speed date’.

Dear GTG - I'd love the opportunity to talk to Dr Sam Bunting about adult acne. I struggled for years and years to become a happily healthy person, and always somehow assumed that my skin health would just follow along when that important detail was in place. Now I'm 25, finally have my live going in a good direction, and I'm happy. My skin is still really bad though, and it is feels like a visible emblem of the bad years. I've finally realized that I probably should be proactive about that, too, so some pointers from the Dr would be a great help!
Hello! I'd love to chat to Daniel Sandler to help me shake up my boring make up routine. Thanks!
I would love a chat with Andreas Wild for tips on how to sort out my dull lifeless flat hair out once and for all! I need a restyle but i dont know which styles would suit my face whilst giving me a well needed volume boost!
