Alexa Chung is a British fashion and beauty icon who never fails to inspire both our wardrobes and beauty routines - whether she is wearing her signature red lipstick with a floaty prairie dress or cutting her own hair during lockdown.

Perhaps unsurprisingly then, when Bazaar asked for a look inside her beauty bag, the television presenter and designer unveiled not one but two pouches full of her favourite products, slipping in refreshingly honest snippets about her experimentations with skincare and make-up along the way:

"A red lipstick is an essential," Chung says. "It makes you look less tired and like you have actually made an effort when it is actually a really easy thing to apply."

Watch the video to discover her step-by-step advice to achieving a flawless red lip or the perfect cat-eye liner flick, plus discover her must-have products and the '90s trends she wishes she'd never experimented with.
