What is your daily morning beauty routine?<br />
When I enter the bathroom, I always put on<br />
StuBru to listen to the Peter van de Veire<br />
morning show. It’s so funny I fi nd myself<br />
laughing out loud in the shower. And of<br />
course I sing along. It’s a fun way to start the<br />
day. After the shower I blowdry my hair and<br />
put on my day cream. I almost never leave<br />
the house without make-up on. Generally,<br />
I use foundation, concealer, eyeliner, m<strong>as</strong>cara<br />
and blusher. I live with two other girls<br />
at the moment, so our bathroom can get<br />
quite messy. It’s happened before that I had<br />
to call them <strong>as</strong>king where they put my stuff<br />
because I couldn’t fi nd it.<br />
Did you learn anything being made up professionally<br />
at TMF?<br />
I always pay a lot of attention in the makeup<br />
room, and Fientje, our make-up artist at<br />
TMF, h<strong>as</strong> taught me a lot. I’m actually quite<br />
good at it, too. L<strong>as</strong>t summer, when I w<strong>as</strong> covering<br />
the festivals with my colleague Wendy,<br />
I always had to do her make-up. Not e<strong>as</strong>y,<br />
when you’re living in a little tent which gets<br />
sizzling hot from the sun shining in all day.<br />
64 — THE THIRD WORD<br />
What’s the difference between your regular<br />
day make-up and the make-up on television?<br />
Everything h<strong>as</strong> to be heavier when your face<br />
is on TV. Regular make-up just disappears on<br />
camera. Also, I would never go out with fl <strong>as</strong>hy<br />
blue eye make-up, a colour Fientje h<strong>as</strong> used on<br />
me before for TMF. It’s not that I don’t like experimenting<br />
with colour, but I tend to stick to<br />
gold, green and grey tones in my free time.<br />
Do you have a beauty trademark?<br />
My nose ring gets a lot of comments, and<br />
it’s something people recognise me by. But<br />
here at TMF they’re always calling me “that<br />
red-haired chick”, so I guess my hair colour<br />
might be something of a trademark. I also<br />

I’d like to discover more from<br />
M.A.C.<br />
Motto?<br />
Redheads do it better!<br />
have a slightly punky, short haircut I like to<br />
experiment with. Not that it always works<br />
out though. L<strong>as</strong>t time my hairdresser put in<br />
fl <strong>as</strong>hy pink streaks, which I’ve since tried<br />
covering up <strong>as</strong> much <strong>as</strong> I can!<br />
Experienced any beauty dram<strong>as</strong> experimenting<br />
like that?<br />
Yes actually, and it had to do with my hair<br />
<strong>as</strong> well. When I w<strong>as</strong> about 15, I went to the<br />
hairdresser and <strong>as</strong>ked for bright orange<br />
streaks. While that’s exactly what I got, it<br />
didn’t really came out like I had in mind. I<br />
came home in tears, although I didn’t have<br />
the courage nor the money to go back to the<br />
hairdresser and have him do something<br />
about it. It’s my worst beauty memory ever.
