She starts off with a toner or micellar water to make sure she has a nice and clear base to apply her makeup on to.
She then uses the Weleda Skin food Light cream, which currently costs £6.71 from Holland & Barrett.
Matilda says: “This is my favourite moisturiser, it makes me really dewy. I’ve got dry skin, so I need this before doing my makeup.”
She then uses Elf’s Primer, which costs £10 from Boots from to make sure her make “lasts all day.”

It makes her base “super tacky” so her makeup which goes on top “will stick.”
Matilda mixes the Fenty Beauty glow enhancer, which costs £29 from Sephora, with Charlotte Tilbury's flawless filter foundation, costing £9 from Feel Unique, and is great for a “light coverage, glowy look.”
Matilda, who is coupled up with Sean Stone in the villa, then uses Maybelline instant anti-age eraser, and blends it out with a small dense foundation brush and then a sponge.
The reality star then applies a tint for her blush, and concealer to help contour.

Matilda revealed that the concealer is her “favourite part” of the makeup routine, as it just cleans everything up, regardless of how messy things look underneath.”
She also likes to focus on making sure she has a glow, due to having “such dry skin,” so Matilda will focus on adding a shimmer before applying a setting spray.

She then sets it with the Laura Mercier translucent powder and uses a powder puff to apply under her eyes, and anywhere that she puts the concealer.
After finishing off her face, Matilda focuses on her brows.
Dry skin
A surprising hack she discovered is using a beauty blender to dab on the inside of brows after applying the pencil.
She says: “It makes sure they are not too harsh.”
Matilda finishes her look with a liquid eyeliner, lip liner, and a gloss.

Biggest beauty mistakes
Fabulous' Beauty Editor Tara Ledden has shared the do's and don'ts when it comes to beauty.
"No matter how much time and money you spend on your beauty routine, if you’re not getting the basics right, the rest is wasted.
"There aren’t many non-negotiables, but these are the biggest beauty mistakes sabotaging your regime."
- Not wearing SPF: Sun-damage is the main cause of premature skin ageing, so if you want to keep your skin looking plump and glowing, sun cream is vital.
- Using expired products: Best case, they’re ineffective and don’t deliver the results they promise, worst case they cause irritation and infection. The shelf life of beauty products differ - for example, mascara is usually good for 3-6 months while lipstick can last for 9-18 months. Check the ‘POA’ symbol on the packaging (it looks like a jar and will have a number inside for how many months it’s safe once opened. If you can’t remember when you opened your product, throw it away and start again, marking the month and year with a permanent marker on the packaging.
- Not knowing your undertones: If you’re using make-up with the wrong undertones, it’ll never look natural no matter how much you blend it! An easy trick to work out whether you have cool, warm or neutral undertones is to check the veins on your wrist - if they look blue, you have cool undertones, if they’re green, you have warm and if they’re a mix you have neutral.
- Skipping heat protector: It might feel unnecessary, but much like sun damage on the skin, excess heat is the most common cause of hair damage. So, if you want shiny, healthy hair, or you’re trying to grow it longer, using a heat protection product is key.
- Not washing your face before bed: it’s as simple as this, if you’re not washing your face before you go to sleep, everything that’s been on your skin during the day is sitting there for even longer, clogging your pores and drying out the surface. Any skincare applied on top isn’t going to be effective with a layer of dirt underneath, and you’re probably going to end up with dirty pillows too - yuck!
