If you've not picked up our 10th anniversary issueyet, what are you waiting for? Not only is it a total whopper of a fashion issue - hello, more bang for your buck - to celebrate our birthday, we've also got an exclusive with Kate King on her love of lipstick.

Kate, or Dolce's girl as she's often referred to, is a Canadian model who hit the big time after Dolce & Gabbana fell in love with her bold brows, handsome features and unmistakeable pout.

Now the face of their makeup line, we grabbed a chat with Kate between takes at our shoot about her beauty secrets...

1. She's not a pudding-phobe

****When it came to healthy eating, Kate told us that she embraces an 80-20 rule. 'If I just eat salad, you know, I don't feel as good as when I eat healthily and have a glass of red wine and some dark chocolate or dessert, too. I just feel better when I have a balance.' Hear hear.

2. This model goes keeps it natural

"Dolce & Gabbana 'Petal' lipstick is my favourite for the day", Kate told us. "Sometimes I'll use a highlighter and a concealer, and no foundation. In fact, I try and avoid foundation as much as possible."

3. Her skincare secret is simple

"I just drink lots of water!' Kate said. "Other than that, find the skicnare routine that works for you - I love Dolce & Gabbana's Aurealux Range, especially the eye cream. If you don't need toner, don't feel like you have to use it."

4. She's had some beauty clangers

********'When I was in middle school (ed note: aged around 12) I read that green concealers cancel out red. So I put some on a zit, and I didn't know you were meant to put normal concealer on top...yeah, that wasn't good."
