OHMYGOSSIP — Millie Mackintosh trained to be a make-up artist when she was a teenager.
The former ‘Made in Chelsea’ star has just released her own cosmetic line – featuring face and body products – in collaboration with Boots and has admitted she’s been dreaming of dropping her own range since she gained her qualification.
Speaking in an interview with Byrdie UK, she said: “Beauty has been a part of my life since I was a teenager. I trained to be a make-up artist when I was 18 and have continued my love affair with everything beauty since. It’s a dream come true to partner up with Boots as they are such an iconic British institution.”
The 28-year-old beauty has been working on the products for well over a year and is thrilled with the outcome because it’s been a joint effort between her and her team.
She explained: “The products where in development for about a year. I worked with a wonderful dedicate team of ladies who merged the technical elements with my creative ideas and aesthetic references … We endeavoured to incorporate all skin types for the body based products and tones for the makeup elements.
“For example the Shape Up Brow Set (£12) and the Deeply in Lustre Bronze and Glow (£16), you can build up to your preferred colour. I was also mindful that the range be all-inclusive, there’s a little bit of something in there for everyone.”
And, with her years of experience, Millie doesn’t mind not wearing make-up but always makes sure she has her eyebrows done and then she can “face the day” properly.
She said: “There are so many! However brushing up the eyebrow (not brushing out) will always make them look fuller and give a more open shape to your eye.
“If my eyebrows are done then I tend to feel ready to face the day. Shape Up Brow Kit is always in my bag.”
