Getting Ready With Sabrina Dhowre Elba And Her Beauty Essentials

Model and podcaster Sabrina Dhowre Elba is getting ready for a day of shows and FROWS at Paris fashion week - Giambattista Valli followed by Mônot - when she sits down to talk to Grazia, exclusively, about her beauty prep. 'I love a more skin-focused beauty look,' says Sabrina as make-up artist Georgi Sandev arranges his kit beside her, 'and I always like my eyes to look bigger, but I'm not a huge eyeshadow person.'

Beauty Prep With Sabrina Dhowre Elba

Glowing skin is a prerequisite for Sabrina, who routinely smoothes on a 111Skin sheet mask pre-make-up application. 'The masks are soothing and that's really important for me,' says Sabrina as Georgi places the first half of a 111Skin Celestial Black Diamond Lifting and Firming Treatment Mask, £140, over the top half of her face, 'it feels like you're getting pampered. To me that's an important part of skincare.'

The 111Skin Celestial Black Diamond Contour Gel, £90, is next on Sabrina's hit list. 'This is my favourite,' enthuses Sabrina, 'it really is one of the best products I've ever tried. It doesn't feel too harsh or tingly but you get this immediate lifting effect.'

Georgi moves on to his favourite foundation, MAC Cosmetics Studio Face and Body Foundation, £32, a cult classic amongst make-up pros worldwide. 'It has such a light texture,' says Georgi, 'it's very natural and has a beautiful glow to it too.'
