Has Maura Higgins Ever Gotten Plastic Surgery?

I used to be utilizing the L’Oréal Infallible Setting Spray [Editor’s note: This won a Best of Beauty Award in 2025!], which is an absolute godsend since you want your make-up to final all day, clearly, you are doing missions, and also you’re out within the chilly, and the rain, and the climate was simply not one of the best. That positively helped. I used to be utilizing the Patrick Ta blushes, which I’m obsessive about.

The mascara I used to be utilizing was the L’Oréal one. It’s a gold one. I’m not too certain if that is waterproof. But weirdly, I by no means have mascara issues, even when it is not waterproof. I’ve by no means had mascara all down my face. I do not know why.

When did MAC Spice change into your go-to?

Oh my God, I’ve been utilizing that for years now. I can not keep in mind what I ever used earlier than that. I simply actually love the colour. I haven’t got a lot pigment in my lips. What’s it known as the place folks get that lip blush, and it is everlasting? I all the time suppose, Oh, do I simply get it? But then I’m like, oh my God, no, as a result of I’m afraid then that Spice will look totally different on me. I all the time discover that with my girlfriends, they’re going to strive Spice, and it seems to be so totally different on them. But as a result of I’ve received no pigment, I feel that is why totally different tones look totally different on my lips in comparison with different folks’s. My make-up artist says it to me on a regular basis as effectively; she’s like, “You have no pigment.” And I’m like, “I know, I’m very Irish.”

Were you in a position to work together with folks within the fort when you had been preparing or had been you preparing by your self?

You’re preparing by your self. You’re alone. I’m fairly certain we had Spotify on our TVs as a result of I keep in mind I used to placed on music. Obviously, there’s day off digicam the place you possibly can discuss to folks, however clearly, it is no recreation chat. You can speak about anything. And these had been moments the place we might actually get to know one another. But no, for glam, we had been simply alone.

There wasn’t an terrible quantity of sleep. The filming hours had been insane. You may’ve solely had three hours’ sleep the evening earlier than, so that you positively want that point to only chill out, have your espresso, and do your make-up in silence or with a little bit of music, no distractions. I’d all the time placed on Ludovico Einaudi. He’s my favourite, and there is one thing about his music that’s actually stress-free to me.

How does your on-camera glam differ out of your on a regular basis glam? Do you flip it up for the cameras?

That’s one factor I do not do, which is flip it up for the digicam, as a result of I do know that it might finish in a catastrophe. If I’m going for lunch with my ladies, I do the very same glam. I can not change my glam. Maybe if it had been an evening look, I’d strive slightly bit extra of a wing, however that’s it. I personally do not suppose I’m that good [at makeup], however everybody’s like, “You’re so good at your own glam.” But when I’ve my make-up artist do my glam, I’m like, “Oh my God, you’re just so good.” When she does my glam, it lasts. I might sleep in it. Not that I’d, as a result of I’m very loopy about my skincare, however I might genuinely sleep in it and it might not budge. But once I do my very own make-up, I all the time discover it would not final as lengthy, and it is clearly the way in which I’m making use of it. I all the time do the identical factor, which is so boring, however I simply suppose I do know what works and I do know what fits my face. Don’t repair what’s not damaged.
