Actress Laura McMonagle, who has starred in Lip Service, River City and the Paul Ferris biopic The Wee Man, reveals her beauty secrets.
What is your essential beauty tip?
My beauty tip is to take your makeup off at night and to cleanse, tone and moisturise. Although I have to remind myself to do so!
What are your favourite products?
Dermalogica Ultra Calming Cleanser (£25.50)
It’s not too heavy on your skin and removes make-up pretty easily.
Dermalogica Multi Active Toner (£25.50)
This leaves your skin feeling super refreshed.
Kiehl's Centella Skin Recovery Salve (£39.50)
I use this morning and night to rehydrate my skin and leave if feeling nice and soft.
Kiehl's Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub (£24)
I love this stuff. You should only use it once a week if you have sensitive skin like me. It smells so good!
Schwarzkopf Osis Dust It Mattifying Powder (around £10)
I hate nice perfect hair, so I sprinkle a little bit of this and it matts your hair, making it easier to style in a more messy way.
Simple cleansing facial wipes (£3)
I always use these if I’m in a rush and don’t have time to do a proper beauty regime. So good for removing makeup (especially mascara) and they are soft on your skin.
Le Sourcil De Chanel Perfect Brows (£42)
I’m obsessed with big eyebrows and have tried so many different kits. This one is definitely the best!
MAC Studio Finish Concealer (£14.50)
This is the best blemish/spot cover ever! Just apply a tiny bit on the spot and it disappears. I couldn’t go out without this in my makeup bag!

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
