Sarah Harding Currently on a break from Girls Aloud, Sarah Harding has plenty of time for pampering while she balances her party girl lifestyle with a more relaxed approach to life. ::

Fav products “For make-up, my eyelash curlers. When eyelashes are curled, it really opens up your eyes and eyes are very important in my ‘look’.

For hair, I like L’Oreal’s colour ranges, S Factor by Tigi, and Sexy Hair also have great products.”

“I love Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. I even bought a handbag size on the plane recently.”

:: Treat yourself “I tend to go from one extreme to the other. I don’t wear much make-up during the day – just a little mascara or lip gloss and maybe a bit of concealer, but at night I like to glam up.”

 “I also like to book into Champneys and go for a good massage, facial, manicure and pedicure. If I’m at home, it’s a nice long hot bath, facepack and treatment in my hair.”

:: Beauty secrets “My Veet Suprem’ Essence Spray On Hair Removal Cream is a lifesaver. When you’re touring it can be hard to keep on top of things like waxing, so you need something quick and easy.”

:: Sarah Harding is currently fronting the new premium range from Veet, Suprem’ Essence.

Beauty

Q.1 What is your best beauty secret? Lots of sleep! I like my sleep – a good eight hours. Lots of water is also really important. I fill a jug up and put in half a lemon and half a lime – that way I get my full 1.5 litres a day.

Q.2 What is your face cleansing ritual? I don’t stick to anything for too long, I like to switch products. I use a daily exfoliator and face wash, a rose toner which helps remove dirt and a light moisturiser in the morning. I use a heavier moisturiser in the evening and a good eye cream.

Q.5 What do you use to keep your legs looking so smooth, toned and moisturised? Having hair-free legs instantly makes legs look and feel great. I’ve been using Veet’s hair removal products for years, but I’ve just started using the new Veet Suprem’ Essence Hair Removal Cream which smells lovely as well as being quick and easy to use. It leaves my legs silky soft and so moisturised.

Q.6 Do you wear much make-up or do you prefer the natural look? I don’t wear much during the day – just a little mascara or lip gloss and maybe a bit of concealer. At night I like to glam up as I like to feel special. I tend to go from one extreme to the other!

Q.7 What is your favourite foundation? I don’t tend to wear a foundation, I prefer the Mac concealer pots and Mac Mineral Powder for the day time.

Q.8 What is your favourite blusher? The Lancome bronzer/blusher or Chanel – a pinky shade.

Q.9 What colour eyeshadow do you wear and why? Goldeny brown – it makes my eyes look bluer!

Q.10 What is your favourite mascara? I like waterproof macsara as it holds your lashes better. Maybelline Colossal Effect during the day, and Mac Splash Proof in the evening because the brush has great pick up to give you a really voluminous effect.

Q.11 Do you wear lipstick or lip balm? Which brand and colour is your favourite? It depends on occasion and the look, but the majority of the time, I mix a bit of lipstick with a gloss on top. I tend to go for frosty peach or a pinky shade for a fresher daytime look.

Q.12 What one beauty product could you not do without and why? For make-up, my eye lash curlers. Because when eyelashes are curled it really opens up your eyes. The eyes are important in my ‘look’. For body, I can’t live without Veet’s new Suprem’ Essence In-Shower Hair Removal Cream for instantly hair free legs when I’m in a rush.

Q.16 What is your favourite perfume/scent and why? Chanel Mademoiselle. I bought a travel size Chanel Mademoiselle on the aeroplane recently, it’s a handbag one. I really like Rock and Rose too.

Q.17 What’s your secret to instant glamour? A good pair of shades and a bit of lipgloss!

Q.19 If you only had five minutes to get ready what would you do? Scrape my hair back, put on a big pair of shades and some lip gloss.

Q.20 What’s your rescue remedy for instantly lovely legs? My Veet Suprem’ Essence Spray On Hair Removal Cream is a lifesaver. It’s not messy and you can be precise about the amount you use. When you are touring it can be hard to keep on top of things, so you need something quick and easy.

Q.21 Tell me your desert island essential. Hairy legs are a total no-go, even if I’m stranded on a desert island, so hair remover! And sun block.

Q.22 What’s your biggest beauty indulgence? La Prairie Cellular Cream Platinum Rare. I love it. It adds a great glow to your skin.

Q.24 Tell me your current favorourite nail polish (name and make) I like Nails Inc & Duri nail polishes. I like frosty steel greys at the moment.

Q.27 If you’re going away on holiday, what essential beauty products would we find in your suitcase? I have a bag full of hair and makeup products, a good spray on sun cream – usually factor 20 or 30, face wipes, a good deodorant, and the Veet Bikini Cream Kit as it’s much less irritating than shaving. It’s perfect for sensitive body areas as it comes with a finishing cream to leave skin moisturised.

Q.28 In my make-up bag you’ll find… Eyelash curlers, waterproof mascara, Mac products and lipgloss.

Q.29 My daily beauty routine is….I get up and jump straight in the shower where I wash my face. I then moisturise my face and body and put on minimal make up if I’m staying at home, or a little more if I’m going out for the day.

Q.30 What’s the best beauty tip you’ve been given? Never go to bed with your makeup on

Q.31 What’s the beauty secret/tip you would share with a friend? Always play up Mascara and eyelashes. Eyes are the main feature of your face.

“My hair colour is naturally mousey brown. I dye it blonde, so I use Redken All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner, from £10 each, to stop it drying out. I love experimenting with different wigs when I’m on tour with Girls Aloud, and I’m thinking about going dark at the moment.”

“Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, £13, is a great all-rounder. It keeps my lips moisturised and shiny. Christian Dior does really good, natural lipglosses, and sometimes I’ll mix them up with a Mac lipstick or liner.”

“With my bright-blonde hair, I can look really washed out if I don’t have a tan, so I always use St Tropez Everyday Gradual Tan for Face And Body, £13. I love having tanned, smooth legs, and Veet Suprem’ Essence Spray On Hair Removal Cream, £4.23, is really effective.”

“When I wear make-up on stage, it’s like I’m wearing a mask: I feel confident. I’m not going to say if I’ve had Botox or not – but I can still frown and my lines move. Age gets the better of us all at some point.”

“I like my eyes. I can look feisty with make-up or innocent without. I use La Prairie Cellular Radiance Eye Cream, £186, morning and night, and I keep my lashes looking big with Maybelline Colossal Volum’ Express Mascara, £6.99.”

“I’ve not been on stage dancing so much in the last year, so I’ve got my curves back. I hate my muffin top – it spills over jeans – so I’ve started Pilates to tone up. I get cellulite too, but body-brushing helps – I do it every day before I shower.”

GIRLS Aloud singer Sarah Harding has just been announced as the face and legs of beauty brand Veet . LIZ LAMB discovers her fashion and beauty secrets and finds out how she stays looking so good.

 

DO you feel under pressure to look good or thinner because you’re in a girl band? 

Yeah of course. Anyone who is being photographed on a regular basis is going to care what they look like. When I’m at home behind closed doors I don’t care though, that’s me time. 

What three products would you take with you if you were stuck on a desert island? 

Veet! Hairy legs are a total no-go, even if I’m stranded on a desert island! Also I’d take Piz Buin sun block and a good waterproof mascara. 

What are your top tips for keeping your skin looking good? 

Lots of sleep! I like my sleep – a good eight hours. Lots of water is also really important. I fill a jug up and put in half a lemon and half a lime – that way I get my full 1.5 litres a day. 

How do you keep yourself in shape? 

Having dogs and living in the countryside is a great help as I’m up and down hills walking the dogs everyday. I love horse riding, which is great, but I don’t get chance to ride so much at the moment. Before the Girls Aloud tour last year we all used the FitVibe – it was great for last-minute toning. 

How would you describe your style? 

It totally depends on what I’m doing and where I’m going. When I’m at home I like to be comfortable and relaxed. I like to try lots of different looks. 

What are three essential items in your wardrobe? 

A pair of great shoes, a pair of sunglasses and a great maxi dress for the summer. 

Do you exercise regularly? If so, how long for and what is your routine? 

I’m quite lucky as my upper body looks after itself but I need to work at keeping my bum and legs toned. If I’m feeling self-conscious I wear a really great pair of tight jeans and a baggy top and I feel great. 

What is your favourite Veet product? 

I love the new Suprem’ Essence range as the products give me that hint of luxury and pampering at home. If I’m in a rush to get out of the house I use the In Shower cream as I can do two things at once! 

Why did you chose to become the ‘face and legs’ for Veet? 

As well as being the leading depilatory brand in the UK, Veet is a beauty brand and the products do what they say – they leave skin touchably smooth for longer! The great scent of the Suprem’ Essence range (1) and the fact that they are moisturising, ensure that I look and feel great. I have been using Veet for years. 

It’s really important for me to make sure I care for my legs and how they look. I’m always doing appearances and shoots and I generally wear short dresses and Veet’s creams are brilliant for giving me smooth, gorgeous legs. It’s so easy to use (and it lasts twice as long as shaving) which means that I’m ready for anything! 

What do you consider to be your best feature? 

I like to dress up my eyes and love trying different looks. Your eyes are a great blank canvas to change your look. I also like my legs – when they’re tanned and smooth, I feel instantly sexy. 

What are your essential holiday beauty tips? 

I have a bag full of hair and make-up products, a good spray-on sun cream – usually factor 20 or 30, face wipes, a good deodorant, and the Veet Bikini Cream Kit (2) as it’s much less irritating than shaving. It’s perfect for sensitive body areas as it comes with a finishing cream. 

What is your favourite foundation? 

I don’t tend to wear a foundation, I prefer the Mac concealer pots (3) and Mac Mineral Powder for day time. 

What is your favourite blusher? 

The Lancome bronzer/blusher or Chanel – a pinky shade. 

What colour eyeshadow do you wear and why? 

Golden brown – it makes my eyes look bluer! 

What is your favourite mascara? 

I like waterproof mascara as it holds your lashes better. Maybelline Collosal Effect during the day, and Mac Splash Proof (4) in the evening because the brush has great pick up to give you a really voluminous effect. 

Do you wear lipstick or lip balm? Which brand and colour is your favourite? 

It depends on occasion and the look, but the majority of the time, I mix a bit of lipstick with a gloss on top. I tend to go for frosty peach or a pinky shade for a fresher daytime look. 

What one beauty product could you not do without and why? 

For make-up, my eyelash curlers. Because when eyelashes are curled it really opens up your eyes. The eyes are important in my look. For body, I can’t live without Veet’s new Suprem’ Essence In-Shower Hair Removal Cream for instantly hair-free legs when I’m in a rush. 

What is your favourite perfume/scent and why? 

Chanel Mademoiselle (5) . I bought a travel-size Chanel Madamemoiselle on the aeroplane recently, it’s a handbag one. I really like Rock and Rose too. 

What’s your secret to instant glamour? 

A good pair of shades and a bit of lipgloss! 

If you only had five minutes to get ready what would you do? 

Scrape my hair back, put on a big pair of shades and some lip gloss. If I’ve got my legs out, I’d use Veet Suprem’ Essence Hair Removal Cream as it leaves my legs hair free and moisturised in just three minutes! 

My daily beauty routine is…. 

I get up and jump straight in the shower where I was my face. I then moisturise my face and body and put on minimal make up if I’m staying at home, or a little more if I’m going out for the day. 

I protect my skin and hair in the sun with…. 

A Dermatologica high-factor facial moisturiser, a leave-in conditioner and a headscarf. 

What’s the best beauty tip you’ve been given? 

Never go to bed with your makeup on. 

What’s the beauty secret/tip you would share with a friend? 

Always play up mascara and eyelashes. Eyes are the main feature of your face.
