THE new spray-tanned, sparkly contestants on Strictly Come Dancing have been announced, which means talent show season is officially under way.

But the competitors aren’t the only ones in the spotlight. The celebrity judges’ style is under weekly scrutiny and, being stuck behind a desk, a winning beauty look is required.

Here, three top judges reveal the secrets to their on-screen glow.

ALESHA DIXON

Britain’s Got Talent judge and face of Impulse Sweet Smile bodyspray.

Describe your daily beauty routine.

It’s minimal – shower, moisturising cream, a bit of mascara, bit of lip gloss, top knot in my hair and I’m good to go. A spritz of Impulse is great for a fragrance boost when I’m on the move all day. It’s very different when I’m working – it can take two hours but when I’m getting ready myself it’s more like 20 minutes flat.

What are your must-have skincare products?

At the moment, I’m using Sisley. It’s a real treat but you only get one face and one thing I spend a bit of money on is face cream. On my body I either use cocoa butter or coconut oil to keep my skin soft.

What are your essential cosmetics?

I love Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream – it’s a classic. It doesn’t matter how many lip balms I try I always end up going back to that. MAC Zoom Lash mascara is brilliant.

What’s the one beauty product you can’t live without?

My number one is coconut oil. It’s just really natural and a real multi-tasking product for skin and hair.

What’s your favourite feature to accentuate if you’re glamming up?

I love nails – I even co-ordinate my polish to my outfit.

What’s your best bit of beauty advice?

I think water is your best friend. If you drink at least two litres a day it just helps keep your skin looking really lovely. I swear by it, and green tea as well. I also use ice under my eyes to reduce puffiness.

How do you like to pamper yourself?

I like to put a treatment on my hair. Again, I’d probably use my trusty coconut oil or Moroccanoil.

DARCEY BUSSELL

Strictly Come Dancing’s new judge and the face of Sanctuary Spa Active Reverse skincare.

Describe your daily beauty routine.

In the morning I fully cleanse and follow with an exfoliator. I then apply Sanctuary Active Reverse Power Peptide Serum, followed by the Sanctuary Active Reverse Peptide Protect Day Cream SPF20, both of which hydrate and protect my skin. The only time I wear full make-up is in the evenings.

What are your must-have skincare products?

I get quite dehydrated so I use a facial oil at night as it hydrates my skin leaving it feeling fresh when I wake up.

What are your essential cosmetics?

After growing up in the theatre I enjoy not having to wear make-up any more but when I do my essentials are Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser SPF20, which I dab onto my cheekbones as a highlighter; Benefit Ooh La Lift under-eye brightener, and MAC Bronzing Powder for evenings.

What’s the one beauty product you can’t live without?

Maybelline Falsies Mascara. I don’t wear make-up every day but I do try to apply mascara daily. I have mascaras all over the place – in my handbags, car – there’s always one to hand.

What’s your favourite feature to accentuate if you’re glamming up?

My lips. If I’m dressing up I’ll use a fab lipstick, like MAC Spice.

What’s your best bit of beauty advice?

To keep your eyes looking open and big, never bring the eyeliner to the end of the eye, always lift it slightly at the end. I also apply my blush higher than my cheek bones to accentuate them.

How do you like to pamper yourself?

I like to put on a face mask and take time out.

My new favourite is the Sanctuary Active Reverse 30 Day Thermal Transformation Mask; I apply it and then relax as it warms up on my skin.

KIMBERLEY WYATT

Got to Dance judge and BM Beauty make-up founder.

Describe your daily beauty routine

I have a shower, exfoliate with natural Love the Planet Peppermint Sugar Scrub, wash my hair with LA Science Shampoo then I will add some Macadamia Natural Oil or Moroccanoil to my hair afterwards as I love natural products.

What are your must-have skincare products?

After moisturising, I use BM Beauty Naked or Stripped Foundation, which is great for my skin as it’s all-natural and anti-inflammatory so gives me a flawless polished finish. At the end of each day, Inika Certified Organic Eye and Make-up Remover is great – I love it, again because it’s natural.

What are your essential cosmetics?

BM Beauty’s Noir Mineral Eyeshadow and Lash Thickening Mascara on my eyes and Inika’s Brow Pencil to perfect my eyebrows. MAC also have some great bold lipsticks, like Costa Chica, that I love to experiment with.

What’s the one beauty product you can’t live without?

I love my BM Beauty Nude Lip Gloss as it’s a great handbag essential and I love the fact it’s non-sticky.

What’s your favourite feature to accentuate if you’re glamming up?

My eyes are my favourite feature to play with. I love experimenting with different colours and looks. I like a classic smoky eye but I’m also partial to a pop of colour to mix it up.

What’s your best bit of beauty advice?

Contouring. My make-up artist is an expert and has taught me how it’s done. It’s all about colour blocking and then blending.

How do you like to pamper yourself?

I love a regular facial. I go to DestinationSkin when I’m in the UK – they have an amazing natural facial that uses pineapple and papaya extracts called the DermaQuest. I pamper myself at home with a hot bath and essential oils.
