RUBY HAMMER, MBE

makE-uP artist and brand founder ruby, 60, has been a mainstay of the beauty world since the 1980s and launched her beauty range ruby Hammer in 2019.

I’M of an age where I can’t mess around with lots of different cheap products that don’t deliver, so I buy Augustinus Bader the Rich Cream (£69, cultbeauty.co.uk). It is expensive but I know it works for my skin.

Conversely, CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser (£10, boots.com) can hold its own next to any product — and it’s a bargain.

the past few years have seen the rise of make-up with skincare benefits. My Ruby Hammer Lip Serum Balm (£18, rubyhammer. com) is a good example. It has oils and cocoa butter to nourish your lips but you can also build up the colour. I layer it over lipstick.

It’s fantastic to see how far the industry has come in terms of inclusivity. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation (£44.50, armanibeauty.co.uk) was one of the first brands to offer a good range of shades for all skin tones and it delivers every time.

Brands such as Clarins are now doing products specifically designed for menopausal women, which is great to see. Ignore older women at your peril!
