My body and I: Alesha Dixon

The singer and Strictly judge, 31, lives with her cousin in Hertfordshire

 

Your make-up bag staples?

I have a fantastic Mac lip liner in Cherry red, plus Mac Studio Tech Foundation, Bobbi Brown Powder Blush in Nectar and a Chanel eye pencil in black.

Desert island beauty essential?

It would have to be Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. It can be used anywhere, from lips and eyebrows to cheeks and elbows, leaving your skin with a dewy glow.

Your feel-good philosophy? 

Laugh a lot and surround yourself with positive people.

Alesha’s beauty icon is ‘Beyoncé (left);  Dolce & Gabbana is a favourite designer

What is your daily beauty routine?  

I don’t really have one, to be honest. I make sure I put on Bobbi Brown facial moisturiser every day and lots of her Beach Body Lotion.

Is there a beauty product you have recommended to friends?

Sanctuary Spa Covent Garden Salt Scrub.

Would you consider plastic surgery?

Never say never. You don’t know how you will feel until your looks change. Done right, it’s no different to changing your outfit.

What makes you feel glamorous?

Wearing a beautiful frock and being made up by make-up artists.

Do you have a guilty pleasure?

Milk bottle sweets. I could eat a whole packet in one go, and I have asked my local shop to order them in for me.

Your favourite clothes shops?

I’m definitely a high street kind of girl. Arrogant Cat would be my absolute favourite, then Zara and Topshop. I also shop online at Asos.

Alesha is a big fan of juicing (‘I love carrot, ginger and beetroot’) and herbal tea

‘I love running, but also love more gentle exercise such as yoga’

Best beauty treatment you’ve had?

I love having a massage. When I want to spoil myself, I call my friend Lucy Mansell from Bury House Natural Body Wellness and Skincare [tel: 07715 9407321]. She comes round to give me and my mum massages and pedicures.

What’s in your fridge?

Lots of cheese, avocados, salmon and eggs.

Tea or coffee?

Herbal tea.

Her ultimate great escape is Jamaica (‘Lying on a beach drinking cocktails’)
