Made In Chelsea’s Nicole Berry Reveals The Contents Of Her Make-Up Bag Including Her Favourite £21 Blush

Nicole Berry caused quite a stir when she joined the cast of Made In Chelsea for its 22nd season in 2021. The model then disappeared for a couple of years before making her triumphant return for series 26 aka the current season of Made in Chelsea and already she's bringing the drama yet again. In fact, preview clips of tonight's episode suggest that Nicole and Olivia 'Liv' Bentley still haven't resolved their beef. Originally from Toronto, Canada, Nicole made the move to London because of her mother.

'Living in the UK has always been a dream of mine,' Nicole Berry tells Grazia. 'My mum often travelled to London for work there and would always come back glowing because she loved it so much, so I always had a bee in my bonnet about moving to the capital.'

Appearing on Made In Chelsea might prove entirely new territory to some, but Nicole Berry has been modelling since she was 17 and is used to life in front of the camera.

'I got scouted when I was still in high school outside Yorkdale - the biggest mall in Toronto - but I didn't really take it seriously until a few years later,' she says. 'I needed to become financially independent, so I began investing more time and effort into modelling. I started looking after my skin and looking after my body.'

Nicole Berry credits her modelling career with honing her make-up skills to explaining, 'I always pay attention when I'm in the make-up chair. It's really fun, I love seeing a make-up artist's entire kit spread out in front of me, I always take a good look at the products in it.'

Nicole Berry learnt a handful of beauty lessons on the Made In Chelsea set too.

'First of all, there's never any air conditioning, that was the first thing I learned,' Nicole laughs. 'There can't be any background noise so the AC has to be off the whole time and we were filming in summer so it was really hot. I learned very quickly that no amount of powder can help you in that situation.'

And for those who assume that the Made In Chelsea cast's make-up is kept in check by the pros, think again. 'I always knew that we were responsible for our own glam,' explains Nicole Berry. 'But I did think there might be someone there to provide the odd powder touch-up if someone got too shiny, but there was no one.'

Nicole Berry found a solution though, 'I got friendly with a girl in production who promised she'd give me the nod if my glow was getting out of control, or my lips were looking really dry or my hair was a mess.'

She quickly assembled her own on-set touch-up kit too. 'There are certain products that I soon learned were worth having to hand on filming days,' Nicole Berry explains. 'Take blusher for example, it takes a lot of blusher for it to show up on camera in Made In Chelsea, and if you're in quite a dark room it's likely that your eyeliner won't show up as much either. It was all trial and error.'
