Q&A with Beaver Falls actress Scarlett Rose Patterson

Beautiful young actress Scarlett Rose Patterson is one to watch this year.

Currently starring in new E4 series, Beaver Falls, Scarlett plays Lily Meadows, the most glamorous and infamous camper at Beaver Falls.

Beaver Falls follows best friends Flynn, A-Rab and Barry who make it their mission to have the best summer ever. They manage to blag themselves jobs at Beaver Falls, an elite American summer camp for the ridiculously tanned and beautiful teenage offspring of California's rich and powerful.

I caught up with Scarlett to chat about all things beauty!

 
 So Scarlett, can you show us whats in your make up bag today?

Have the products you use and the way you look after your skin changed since you’ve begun working in TV?

I definitely look after my skin a lot more as I have always suffered from the occasional break out. I am now a lot more aware of the importance of looking after my skin, especially as a actress you need to keep it looking it’s best for castings and shoots . 

I used to use any old cleanser and hardly ever wear moisturiser or SPF. I now really invest in good skin products and have seen a real change in my skin. I am currently trying MeMeMe’s Seventh Heaven face cream, it smells so refreshing. 

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

Yes we all loved discussing our daily skin regimes on set! And Candy one of the Make – up ladies gave me some great make – up tips!

 We all know that as Lily in Beaver Falls, you play the glamorous camper, but who would you say is the beauty queen on set?

We all looked forward to going out and dressing up at the end of the week after a shoot…. even the boys!

Do you have a beauty Icon? If so, who?

 My mum. She’s the most beautiful woman I know!

 What is your all time favourite beauty brand and why?

I love Shu Uemura for bases and brushes! And MAC for their eye shadows!

I cant stand having chipped nails so I always paint them. One of my favourite shades is by MEMEME Cosmetics called “ indulgent”. I also couldn’t live without my favorite perfume “Colette” by Tocca, am I allowed another one? Also Dermalogica pre- cleanse is a must have for taking your make up off!

Who do you think is the most beautiful actress on the scene at the moment?

Audrey Tatou, she is absolutely stunning! She is so effortlessly chic, I love her cropped hair!

Have you ever had a make up disaster? 

Bright pink lipstick! It didn’t suit me….at all!

What was the best piece of beauty advice you have ever been given?
Always wear a SPF every day and apply your foundation with a brush. You don’t have to put as much on and it gives a flawless glow.

Which actor or actress would you most like to work with and why?

I would love to work with Samantha Morton, she is so incredibly talented and her directing debut “The Unloved” was magnificent!

Scarlett Rose stars in DCI Banks on ITV, on 11th October- do not miss it!

I Am Fabulicious Meets Kimberly Wyatt

Kimberly Wyatt is best known as being a former member of the astronomically successful  pop group The Pussycat Dolls, where she found fame and success as an unquestionably talented singer and dancer.

Fast forward to present day and did you know that there is another side to Kimberly that you perhaps weren’t aware of?

Did you know that she has her own cruelty free cosmetic range called BM beauty which is approved by both the BUAV & PETA ?

No? Read on, as I Am Fabulicious chats to Kimberly about her BM beauty.

What made you decide to create a cruelty free make up brand?

Laura McComiskie and myself are both very passionate about making positive change.... and makeup! BM Beauty is a makeup brand that makes conscience, natural, cruelty free choices that both of us feel very proud of!!


How did you come to meet Laura Comiskie and how was BM beauty subsequently born? 

Laura and I met through her fiancée, Dave. Dave was in an awesome band, Driveblind, a label-mate at the time. He told me about the awesome work Laura was doing with organic, all natural beauty products with her company, Love the Planet. Laura came to a few PCD shows and brought some Love the Planet products that I fell in love with! Over the next few years we became fast friends and soon found a mutual passion for makeup with a conscience and decided we'd make an awesome team! Thus BM Beauty was born!

 What does the BM in BM beauty stand for?  

BM stands for Beautiful Movements. My website, www.beautifulmovements.com, is a place for self-expression where people listen, relate, and learn about self worth. Together we encourage growth through love, compassion, and positive action.  “Happiness is a journey not a destination.” –Souza

Kimberly in her Pussycat Doll days

  

Before BM beauty, had you always sought out products and brands that were cruelty free to use?

Yes, I've been a conscience consumer for about 5 years now. My conscience journey started by finding ways to manage stress and anxiety holistically which lead to greater awareness of the world around me. Gradually I've become more aware of  "conscience, cruelty free products". 

 What is your opinion of brands that do test on animals? Do you boycott them?

Anyone that hurts animals intentionally for beauty is ridiculous. I boycott them by gathering knowledge and making smarter choices as a consumer. I believe change comes by the classic saying, "lead by example."

What's inside Kimberly's Make up Bag?

What is your favourite item from the BM beauty collection?

Tough question!! I love wearing an all natural BM Beauty face from start to finish but if I have to pick one item it would be the finishing powder cause it gives you a beautiful dewy finish and marble sparkle because its awesome as eyeshadow, highlighter, and added sparkle!!

Can you tell & show me with a pic, what’s in your make up bag today?

My BM Beauty travelling kit of course!!  Contents include; BM Beauty brush set, Summer Warmth Mineral Bronzer, Naked Mineral Foundation, Noir Eyeshadow, Marble Sparkle Eyeshadow, Nude Lipgloss, Indian Summer Lipgloss, and BM Beauty Lash Curling Mascara.

Apart from BM beauty, what is your favourite beauty brand and why?

I love Illamasqua! I think they do an amazing job at being unique and theatrical! It's a brand that embraces self-expression, creation, and encourages people to be whatever they want to be! 

Kimberly is an  I Am Fabulicious fan too!

Do you have a beauty Icon? If so, who?

Gwen Stefani is one of my beauty icons. She is a pioneer in the world of beauty and fashion!! She does it all and still stays true to herself. 

If you were stranded on a desert island, which 1 beauty item would you miss the most and why?

I would miss my BM Beauty nude lip gloss!! It's so moisturizing and truly brings dry lips back to life! I have a feeling that if I was stranded on a desert island my lips would need the most help! lol

Can you share with us one of your trade secret beauty tips?

Exfoliate twice a week and drink lots of water to ensure you have the best skin you can. Wash and moisturize before applying makeup and afterwards mist Rose Water over your face to set the makeup and give your skin a flawless finish! 

Have you ever had a make up/ beauty disaster? What happened?

I used to have disasters every night after i would get off stage and see my face in the mirror! lol I dance so much and so hard that my sweat would smear my makeup as it  dripped down my face. I've learned a lot of good techniques for stage makeup and BM Beauty has been my sweaty stage savior!!

What was the best piece of beauty advice you have ever been given?

Don't be afraid to be different, try new things and express yourself.
