We asked the gals over on The Jennifer Zamparelli Show to answer some quick-fire questions on their top beauty buys and skincare tips. This week we're chatting to writer, artist and professional joy-bringer Taryn de Vere.
What hero product do you always need in your handbag?
Red lipstick, it goes with me everywhere.
What's your dream product if money was no object?
Dior Show On Stage Liners, I'll take one in every colour please.
What new product/trend are you loving at the moment?
L'Occitane Divine Youth Oil. I've been using it for the last few weeks and it's doing wonders for my skin. I'm a big L'Occitane fan.
What's the part of your makeup routine you’ll never change?
Moisturising every night, my skin starts to feel dry within seconds of getting out of the shower, it needs a lot of love and care.
What's a new beauty trick you've picked up?
My teenage daughter told me to put a bit of highlighter on the inside of my eye and I'm astounded by the difference it makes. It's probably not a new trick for anyone other than me though!

Who is your beauty guru?
My oldest daughter is excellent at makeup, and has taught me everything I know.
Is there an Irish brand or product you love or want to try?
I've only heard excellent things about cruelty free, eco-friendly Holos Skincare - would love to try.
What’s your favourite makeup hack?
Scrunching up a tissue and blotting on little patches of different coloured eyeshadow (sounds bad but looks amazing).

What's a trend you don't think you'll ever try?
The current eyebrow trend, or pretty much any eyebrow trend. I've found the eyebrow look that works for me (pink/purple/orange) and I can't see that changing.
Bonus...
My favourite make up product is L'Oreal Double Extend Mascara which they seem to have recently discontinued so I'm understandably devastated. It's so amazing I even wrote a song about it once.
