Beauty director Sam Silver and celebrity stylist Gemma Rose Breger are the ladies behind the Instagram, Blog and Youtube known as This is Mothership. I’m a huge fan and check in daily to watch and read their honest and interesting tips on beauty, fashion and parenting. Here Sam and Gemma share their beauty routines, their favourite products and their top beauty tips.
What does your beauty routine consist of?
G: I’m really minimal when it comes to make-up but I’ve recently got into a few good skin habits. I never go to bed without taking my make-up of and Sam has taught me the power of a good serum or oil.
S: It’s so hard to find a strict routine when your job is to test hundreds of products but I think I’ve cracked it and simplicity is key – cleansing properly, vitamin c and a good SPF.
What and when was your last treatment?
G: I had a facial at home last week when my kids were asleep – I booked it via Ruuby app. It was a Dermalogica facial and it was heaven.
S: I actually had a facial today. I went into the House of Elemis and had a speedy resurfacing facial. It was 50 minutes so fitted into a lunch hour and included a neck and shoulder massage. The dream.
I know that you are both huge fans of the Becca Concealer (which is currently on my to-buy list). Which other 3 beauty products can you not live without?
G: Smashbox Always on in Bawse, Decleor Neroli Balm and L’Oreal Paris brow artist plumper.
S: Clinique Pretty Easy Eyeliner, Elemis Marine Cream and Paula’s Choice BHA.
What has been you biggest beauty faux paux?
G: We both had ultra thin eyebrows at Uni
I love watching your Sofa Sessions (Gemma and Sam interview celeb mums on their YouTube channel) Who would be your dream guest?
G: Eva Chen

Do you have any beauty tips for my readers?
G: Always take your make-up off at night.
S: Cleansing. If you don’t take your make-up off properly, nothing else you put on your face can do it’s job.
