Dannii Minogue
Never let it be said that Ms Minogue Jnr is a slouch in the beauty stakes. She couldn't choose between her two beauty staples, so, what the heck, we'll let her have both.

'I'm never without it,' says Dannii.

Liz Collinge
Beauty guru, Liz Collinge, believes that make-up should enhance the features, whilst looking as natural as possible. Being a pale and interesting lass herself, she devotes a good deal of her time to researching products that add a healthy glow. 'Green or gold shimmery shades on the eyes really warm up the complexion, whilst still looking fresh-faced,' she says. 'I love MAC's eyeshadow in 'De Menthe'.

Bharti Vyas
The voluble Ms Vyas is a devout fan of that most basic of beauty staples - Vaseline. 'It's the simplest, yet most effective product that hides a multitude of sins. It's great on chapped lips, good for slicking on cheekbones as a highlighter and if you have nothing else, it's great for removing eye makeup. Cheap and handy little pots, too!
