I’m a supermodel and my secret weapon for a flawless face and perfect lips is £3
VICTORIA’S Secret model Candice Swanepoel has revealed her secret weapon for the perfect pout – and it’s super affordable.
The 35-year-old is known for her striking features, perfectly formed outfits and the fact that she wears more lingerie than any of her contemporaries on the catwalk.
But her daily beauty routine isn’t as lavish as the rest of her glamorous life.
The mother of two loves to wear a “faux-natural” makeup look that she can apply in 10 minutes — sometimes even two.
On Vogue’s YouTube channel, she even showed off her £3 must-have product, which you can buy from Superdrug.
Candice said she “doesn’t leave the house without it.”

The Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Ultimate Moisture Swivel Stick is her holy grail.
It’s designed to hydrate even the most chapped lips, but that’s not all it’s good for.
The £3 discount can also be used to treat spots, blemishes and rough skin.
It is also perfect for topical hydration of cuticles, softening rough areas and reducing the appearance of scars.
“It’s formulated with antioxidant vitamin E and naturally harvested cocoa butter,” Palmer’s bosses explain.
“Vitamin E helps minimize the appearance of scars, stretch marks and skin imperfections, creating a smoother, firmer appearance.
“Cocoa butter is a nutrient-packed natural moisturizer, rich in antioxidant CMPs (cocoa mass polyphenols) for superior skin care and moisture barrier protection.
“This combination of active ingredients leaves your skin feeling soft and silky smooth, transforming even the roughest, driest patches into buttery soft skin.”
The supermodel’s beloved Swivel Stick also has a light cocoa scent and provides up to 48 hours of hydration.
Not only is Candice regularly hailed as one of the sexiest women in the world, her bank balance doesn’t look too bad either.
Biggest Beauty Flaws
Tara Ledden, beauty editor of Fabulous, shares the do’s and don’ts of beauty.
“No matter how much time and money you spend on your beauty routine, if you don’t get the basics right, everything else is wasted.
“There aren’t many things you can’t negotiate, but these are the biggest cosmetic mistakes that are sabotaging your regime.”
- Do not use SPF: Sun damage is the number one cause of premature skin aging, so if you want to keep your skin looking firm and radiant, sunscreen is essential.
- Use of products whose expiration date has passed: At best, they are ineffective and do not deliver the results they promise, at worst they cause irritation and infection. The shelf life of beauty products varies – for example, mascara is usually good for 3-6 months, while lipstick can last 9-18 months. Check the ‘POA’ symbol on the packaging (it looks like a jar and has a number inside it for how many months it is safe to use after opening. If you can’t remember when you opened your product, throw it out and start over, marking the month and year on the packaging with a permanent marker.
- Not knowing your undertone: If you use makeup with the wrong undertones, it will never look natural, no matter how much you mix it! An easy trick to figure out if 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 look green, you have warm, and if they’re a mix, you have neutral.
- Skip heat protectant: It may seem unnecessary, but just like sun damage to the skin, excessive heat is the most common cause of hair damage. So if you want shiny, healthy hair, or if you want to grow it longer, using a heat protection product is essential.
- Not washing your face before bed: it’s as simple as this, if you don’t wash your face before you go to bed, whatever has been on your skin during the day will stay there longer, clogging your pores and drying out the surface. Any skincare you apply on top won’t be effective with a layer of dirt underneath, and you’ll probably end up with dirty pillows too – yuck!
In 2016, she was named the 8th highest-earning model in the world by Forbes.
Since the birth of her sons in 2016 and 2018, she has not stopped modeling.
She is considered the world’s top lingerie model and her estimated net worth is over £19 million.
This is not only because she has the most followers, but also because her online posts have much more impact than those of her contemporaries on the catwalk.
