Beauty Talk with Rachel Shenton

Yes your eyes are deceiving you and No this is not Cheryl Cole.

Fans of soaps will recognise this gorgeous girl as Rachel Shenton, otherwise known as Mitzee from Hollyoaks.

Rachel’s character in Hollyoaks is a wannabe glamour model and she states that Mitzee is completely the polar opposite to herself in real life.

We chatted with Rachel to find out what her take on beauty is and find that unlike her character, she is very much a natural beauty.

Hi Rachel, what’s in your make up bag today?

There is a lip stick (red) some tinted moisturiser, a bronzer and a blusher

Have the products you use and the way you look after your skin changed since starting on Hollyoaks?

I use a stronger moisturiser now as my skin has make-up on all day as well as is under the lights all day

Do the girls on set ever share beauty tips with each other?

If someone discovers something new that they think is great, then yes of course we all share and then report back

Who’s the biggest beauty queen on set?

 They’re all beauties
