In Her Bag: Jemma Kidd

Face Case

By Zoe Schaeffer

A chic makeup pouch is necessary for keeping all your key beauty buys tidy. “I keep all my essentials in this pretty, hand-embroidered cosmetics case,” says Jemma. “It’s the perfect size for throwing in my handbag but big enough for everything I need when I’m on the go.” SHOP NOW: Jan Constantine “Love” Make-Up Bag, $84

British Pop

Like Jemma, we flipped over the recent launch of the beloved British house’s new makeup line. “I love all the new super-pigmented eyeshadows, and they come in a great range of modern neutrals.” Like their classic trenches, we might add. SHOP NOW: Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow in Gold Trench, $29

Ballerina Girl

Jemma says her hectic schedule prevents her from getting regular manicures. “I like to keep my nails nice and natural with a baby pink shade from this classic range.”

Facial Relations

“This is the next-best thing to a facial at her clinic in Chelsea!” says Jemma. “It makes my skin feel rejuvenated and leaves me with a healthy glow.” It’s also a great option for those of us who live Stateside.

First Blush

Jemma’s own line of makeup garnered a cult following (including client and friend Sienna Miller) from the get-go. “This cheek color gives a natural flush, is easy to apply and doesn’t feel sticky like so many other crème blushers can.” Her go-to shade is this coral-y rose.

Mouth Off

“I find that a stick is easier to apply than balm from a tube. Plus this one is hydrating, contains SPF and makes my lips feel so smooth.”

Fair Game

Blondes can have a hard time when it comes to finding the right mascara. “I have fair lashes, so I use this mascara religiously for definition and to frame my eyes,” says Jemma. “I feel bare and washed-out without it.”

Lovely Bouquet

“This is my all-time favourite scent,” says Jemma. “Because it’s such an old fragrance, few people still wear it, and so I always get lovely comments.”

Soft Focus

“This oil has transformed my hair, making it soft, shiny and healthy-looking. It’s great as both a pre-shampoo moisture treatment and as a leave-in conditioner.” SHOP NOW: Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Leave-In Oil, $65

Cream of the Crop

Jemma knows a splurge when she sees one. “When I need a pick-me-up, this luxury body massage cream is the perfect treat. Not only does it firm and nourish, it’s super-relaxing.”

SHOP NOW: La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Body Cream, $390

Oil Drill

Even though you can find this oil at the drugstore, Jemma claims it’s still a little bit of an everyday indulgence: “It absorbs into your skin really quickly and leaves it feeling silky smooth.”
