I’m a supermodel and my secret weapon for a flawless face and perfect pout is £3 – I don’t leave the house without it

VICTORIA’S Secret model Candice Swanepoel has revealed her secret weapon for the perfect pout – and it’s super affordable. 

The 35-year-old is famed for her striking features, perfectly-toned rig and shifting more lingerie than any of her catwalk contemporaries.

But her everyday beauty routine isn’t as lavish as the rest of her glitzy life. 

The mum-of-two likes to rock a “fake natural” make-up look that she can whack on in 10 minutes – sometimes even in two. 

Taking to Vogue’s YouTube channel, she even revealed her £3 must-have product that you can pick up in Superdrug. 

Candice said she “doesn’t leave the house without it”. 

The Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Ultimate Moisture Swivel Stick is her holy grail buy. 

It is designed to hydrate even the most chapped lips – but that’s not all it’s good for. 

The £3 bargain can also be used to treat marks, blemishes and rough skin.

It is also perfect for spot moisturising cuticles, soothing rough patches and reducing the appearance of scars.

“It has been formulated with antioxidant Vitamin E and naturally harvested Cocoa Butter,” Palmer’s bosses explained.

“Vitamin E helps to minimise the appearance of scars, stretch marks and imperfections on the skin, leaving a more even, toned appearance. 

“Cocoa Butter is a nutrient-packed natural moisturiser rich in antioxidant CMPs (Cocoa Mass Polyphenols) for superior skin care and moisture barrier protection. 

“This combination of active ingredients leaves your skin soft and silky, transforming even the roughest, driest areas into buttery soft skin.”

The supermodel’s beloved Swivel Stick also features a light cocoa scent and delivers up to 48 hours of hydration.

Not only is Candice regularly lauded as one of the world’s sexiest women, her bank balance isn’t looking too bad either.

Biggest beauty mistakes

Fabulous' Beauty Editor Tara Ledden has shared the do's and don'ts when it comes to beauty.

“No matter how much time and money you spend on your beauty routine, if you’re not getting the basics right, the rest is wasted.

“There aren’t many non-negotiables, but these are the biggest beauty mistakes sabotaging your regime.”

• Not wearing SPF: Sun-damage is the main cause of premature skin ageing, so if you want to keep your skin looking plump and glowing, sun cream is vital. 
• Using expired products: Best case, they’re ineffective and don’t deliver the results they promise, worst case they cause irritation and infection. The shelf life of beauty products differ – for example, mascara is usually good for 3-6 months while lipstick can last for 9-18 months. Check the ‘POA’ symbol on the packaging (it looks like a jar and will have a number inside for how many months it’s safe once opened. If you can’t remember when you opened your product, throw it away and start again, marking the month and year with a permanent marker on the packaging. 
• Not knowing your undertones: If you’re using make-up with the wrong undertones, it’ll never look natural no matter how much you blend it! An easy trick to work out whether 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’re green, you have warm and if they’re a mix you have neutral. 
• Skipping heat protector: It might feel unnecessary, but much like sun damage on the skin, excess heat is the most common cause of hair damage. So, if you want shiny, healthy hair, or you’re trying to grow it longer, using a heat protection product is key. 
• Not washing your face before bed: it’s as simple as this, if you’re not washing your face before you go to sleep, everything that’s been on your skin during the day is sitting there for even longer, clogging your pores and drying out the surface. Any skincare applied on top isn’t going to be effective with a layer of dirt underneath, and you’re probably going to end up with dirty pillows too – yuck!

In 2016, she was ranked by Forbes as the 8th highest-earning model on the planet.

She has not scaled back her modelling since welcoming her sons in 2016 and 2018. 

In fact, she is considered the world’s top lingerie model and has an estimated net worth over £19 million.

That’s not just because she has the most followers but because her online posts have far more impact than her catwalk contemporaries.
