Shavaughn Ruakere
Shavaughn Ruakere (36) is an actress and former Shortland Street star.
My beauty philosophy is… Smile. A confident, happy smile is the ticket.
The skincare products I can’t live without are… I’m a Kiehl’s convert. Their Super Multi-Corrective Cream is my little pot of gold. I also love their Ultra Facial Oil Free Cleanser and
famous CrÈme de Corps hydrating Body Moisturizer. It’s dreamy.
My haircare secret is… Pantene all the way. I’ve been a fan since Rachel Hunter told me, “It won’t happen overnight but it will happen” – and it did! Affordable and it really does the trick.
The must-have products in my make-up bag are… MAC lipstick in Ravishing, MAC Liquid Eye Liner, (don’t be afraid of the liquid, ladies – practise makes perfect!), MAC Sheertone Blush in Peaches, MAC Blot Film (get rid of that shine!), and MAC Haute & Naughty Too Black Lash with the double brush. I also love Benefit Watt’s Up highlighter pen and Kiehl’s Lip Gloss in Mango.
My favourite beauty treat is… A hot bath with Epsom salts.
My biggest beauty sin is… My posture. I have a habit of rolling my shoulders forward and looking at the ground. Standing straight and tall
makes you look and feel better.
The best thing my mother taught me about beauty is… That it’s more than skin deep. Now ain’t that the truth.
Shavaughn Ruakere makes her theatrical debut in Dog from August 19-30 at Auckland’s Basement Theatre. For bookings, visit basementtheatre.co.nz.
