She starts with a toner or micellar water to ensure she has a Nice and a clear base to apply her makeup.
She then uses the Weleda Skin Food Light cream, which currently costs £6.71 at Holland & Barrett.
Matilda says: “This is my favourite moisturiser, it makes me feel really dewy. I have dry skin so I need this before I put on my make-up.”
She then uses Elf’s Primer, which costs £10 at Boots, to ensure her make-up ‘stays in place all day’.

It makes her base ‘super sticky’, which makes the makeup you apply on top ‘stick’.
Matilda mixes the Fenty Beauty Glow Enhancer, which costs £29 at Sephora, with Charlotte Tilbury’s Flawless Filter Foundation, which costs £9 at Feel Unique and is great for a “light coverage, radiant look.”
Matilda, who is staying in the villa with Sean Stone, then uses Maybelline instant anti-age eraser, blending it in with a small, thick foundation brush and then a sponge.
Next, the reality star applies blusher and concealer to help contour.
Matilda revealed that the concealer is her “favorite part” of her makeup routine because it cleans everything up, no matter how messy it looks underneath.”
She also wants to make sure her skin glows, since she has “such dry skin,” so Matilda will focus on adding a sheen before applying a setting spray.
Then she sets it with Laura Mercier’s translucent powder and applies it with a powder puff under her eyes and anywhere she applies concealer.
After Matilda finishes her face, she focuses on her eyebrows.
Dry skin
One surprising trick she discovered is to use a beauty blender to blot the inner corners of your brows after applying the pencil.
She says, “It keeps them from being too hard.”
Matilda completes her look with a liquid eyeliner, lip liner and a lip gloss.

She also uses her eyebrow pencil to apply freckles around her nose, making her makeup look more “natural.”
The video shared on her TikTok has since gone viral and many beauty fans responded en masse to the comments to share their opinions.
One of them wrote: “I would literally die to be like you.”
Another added: “Wow your eyes are beautiful”
A third said: “Yeaaaah here for the content! We want more.”
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 is good for 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 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!
