MAFS’ Domenica Calarco on her must-have beauty tool

Stephanie Darling

Each fortnight, Stephanie Darling gets inside the head of an industry expert or media personality. This week, sydney make-up artist Domenica Calarco – the irrepressible reality TV star from the last season of Married at First Sight who loves everything beauty.

What I am loving right now The Brow Code Brow Heist Brow Soap (mecca.com.au, $38). I have also fallen back in love with M.A.C Extended Play Gigablack Lash mascara (maccosmetics.com.au, $39). For my skin, Dr Miriam at Ageless Clinics (agelessclinics.com.au) in Bondi Junction prepares my customised skincare prescription.

Beauty icon Kate Moss and Hailey Bieber. Both are such a vibe. I am all about natural-looking skin and I feel these two do such a great job.

The rule I live by My dad said something to me and it has always stuck: “If you don’t ask, you don’t get.”

Top beauty tip Easy! LED light. I feel it fixes everything.

Must-have beauty product I would have to say my eyelash curler. As a make-up artist, it is something that I love doing on all my clients.

“My must-have beauty product? I would have to say my eyelash curler.”

Favourite colour Has to be pink! I just love how fresh and warm it makes me feel. Everyone is pretty in pink.

Favourite exercise routine Reformer Pilates! My go-to is KX Pilates (kxpilates.com).

Ask Steph

How do I stop my hands drying out?
Lanolips Everywhere Multi-Cream (mecca.com.au, $19) is our go-to for parched winter hands. Its thick, lustrous formula contains lanolin, so slather it on your hands and add a pair of cotton gloves at bedtime to lock in all that moisturising goodness.
