This one's from TV Quick just before Christmas.

I like glitter I do

Who needs tinsel at this time of year when former BIG BROTHER housemate Helen Adams is around to spread her own special festive sparkle? We asked fun-loving Helen for some of her dazzling beauty secrets so that you too can leave the fellas blinking this Christmas.

Helen Adams, the Welsh disco-dancing diva with a love of sparkles, had us glued to our screens during this summer’s Big Brother.

Since then, the former hairdresser has bagged herself a top job as a beauty expert on Sky One’s Lorraine show and has her own fitness video, Dance Workout with Helen, coming out on Boxing Day.

Fast becoming a member of the gllitterati, TVQuick asked her for her glitziest fashion and beauty advice for all those parties coming up.

‘Ooh,’ says Helen, ‘I love talking about make-up! I need at least two hours to get ready when I go out – you have to if you want to look your best!

‘Paul (Clarke, her Big Brother housemate and boyfriend) can’t understand why it takes so long, but that’s everything from shower through to hair and make-up. These days, I often have a make-up artist if I’m filming, but I like to do my own make-up best.

‘I like to look brown so I use bronzer – the more shimmery, the better! I start with Hard Candy eye shadow. Hard Candy have great products in their Glitter Nights range… my favourites are their Loners eye shadows in Cyber, Platinum and Star. They can be used wet or dry for different effects.

‘My mascara has to be dramatic, the cloggier the better! I’m thinking of getting my eyelashes tinted as I’m so fair. Individual false eyelashes are good, too. Oh yeah, I like false lashes a lot!

‘I use BeneTint by BeneFit on my cheeks. It stains them with a rose tint. I sometimes use it on my lips… that’s a tip I got from my mum, she says your cheeks and lips should match!

‘Next up is lip gloss… I think everyone knows how much I like lip gloss… I’ve even got a T-shirt that says so! I know this sounds really posh, but I use Versace Lights on Lips in strawberry with Lipglass by M.A.C on top. Amma had it in the Big Brother house, and now I can’t live without it. It’s like superglue. My lips are always dripping with it!

‘Then I put a little bit of vaseline on my cheeks and add some Dazzle Dust by Barry M. You can’t have too much glitter!

‘Last, but not least, is my hair. I like to wear it up. I tend to do it in the same way, so I need new inspiration. I use Bourjois glitter spray on it, and then L’Oreal Gloss control, which is only available in salons. It’s brilliant and leaves my hair as glossy as glass.’
