‘My beauty journey has taken time and patience but I’ve finally found a lot of products that work well with me, my skin and lifestyle,’ British model and activist Munroe Bergdorf tells us as she takes us through her morning make-up routine at the Belmond Cadogan Hotel.
For our latest episode of Waking Up With, Bergdorf walks us through how she starts her day, from waking at 7.30am and ‘slaying’ her face with serum for ‘that no make-up, make-up glow,’ to wearing Urban Decay eyeshadows and Fenty Beauty foundation.
‘I love what she’s done with the brand,’ the model and recently appointed National Advocate for UN Women UK says of Fenty Beauty founder Rihanna. ‘In terms of the diversity of shades and products, she’s thinking about the needs of different women which is something that’s really needed in the beauty industry right now.’
