There’s a bit of a running theme from the women featured in this issue – that wonderful lesson of how the older we get, the better we get. And when I say better, I don’t mean better in the way that we weren’t good before; more that the better comes from having experienced life with all its ups and downs, and we’ve learnt where we fit in the world. Better in the sense that the more years we’ve ticked off, the more confidence we have in our decisions and opinions, the more purposeful we are in our wants and needs, and the better we are at leaving behind the stuff that just doesn’t fill our cup.

The first make-up lesson I learnt was … How to cover a spot. I feel at my most beautiful when … I’m listening to music in the car with my daughter, feeling incredibly relaxed as we’re driving around. My motto in life is … You never know what is behind a closed door. My friends would say I am … Loyal, energetic and loving. In the movie of my life, I’d like to be played by … Myself! My guilty pleasure is … Frozen yoghurt with chocolate chips. Every night at the moment. It’s a really bad addiction. The last time I cried was … The Ukraine invasion.
