It's mid-November, and team Marie Claire UK are in full Black Friday prep mode. My head is foggy, my desk is overflowing with products and my inbox is at 8,000 unread. But the arrival of one email was enough to break me out of my daze. The subject line: Dua Lipa Interview.
I had caught wind of the news that Dua Lipa was set to become the new Global Make-up Ambassador for YSL Beauty, and the prospect of an interview with her was enough to make me clear my schedule. The singer has spent the majority of her adult life in the spotlight, with seemingly every moment of that covered by tabloids. It only makes sense, therefore, that she has a fair few life lessons to share for My Life In... . Beyond that, she is, in my opinion, one of the most influential women in the world of beauty. Hell, she only has to step out of the house to set a new hair trend or nail trend.
