Beauty Spot: Amber McIver

Tell us about you…I am the proud owner of my beautiful Boutique salon in Parnell (Verdo Nails).  I saw that there was a lack of Nail salons that offer the whole package when it came to the luxury of having your nails done.

What are your New Year beauty resolutions? To start experimenting with different colored eye shadow (I’m a black or brown eye shadow girl).

What’s your usual daily makeup routine? Cleanse tone and moisturize, followed by my makeup application of foundation, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara.

Does it take you long to get ready? Usually about 30 minutes.

What would you do if you had more time to get ready? Take a longer shower!

What’s your favorite evening look right now? Love the little black dress, with gorgeous heels. There is nothing quite like the feeling you get when wearing a stunning little black dress.

Are you an eyes or lips girl? Eyes.

Favorite nail polish color? I’m Not Really A Waitress – OPI

Long nails or short? Love them long, but with work they always end up shorter!

What’s the one beauty product you’ve used for years and can’t give up? Great quality shampoo and conditioner.  It’s well worth the expense.

What are you searching for? An eye cream that really diminishes those little lines!

Which fragrance/s are you wearing and why? Love Bluvgari, it’s soft and beautiful.  I do wear a lot of Jean-Paul Gaultier, love the bottles and the smell is very distinct.

What beauty faux pas are you always committing – even though you know you shouldn’t? Wearing my old clothes after losing 13kgs, they don’t fit me and probably don’t look good at all, but they are some of my favorite pieces.

Best beauty tip? Cucumbers on the eyes for tired eyes.

What advice would you tell the younger you? Use good skin care from an early age, again, its well worth the expense.
