Holly's makeup artist Patsy O'Neill is great to follow on Instagram as she is always name-checking the great products she uses on the Dancing on Ice star.
Speaking about her fave neutral lip colour, Holly once said of Burt Bee's 100% Natural Satin Lipstick: "This is a really lovely product I first discovered at the NTAs. I was wearing this pink dress and we wanted something quite neutral and Patsy, it was her find. It's Burt's Bees. And I love Burt's Bees anyway because it's really lovely and natural. So she bought in this lipstick and it's my favourite one is called Blush Basin. And it's got loads of shea butter in it, and it just feels like a lip balm with colour in it. It's just the nicest lipstick, it doesn't get stuck on your lips."

Holly hates fake tan. Speaking on Beauty Full Lives podcast, Holly said that she uses a skin perfector instead - the Vita Liberata 'Body Blur'. "This is a leg makeup but, to be honest, I would never wear it in real life. This is for the telly. Everybody thinks I wear fake tan but I hate fake tan! Never been able to get on with it. I'm always linked to different fake tan brands and it's nonsense because I've probably had three fake tans in my life. But this leg stuff, I really like it. If I'm wearing a skirt on This Morning, sometimes I put a bit on my legs just to even the tone out a little bit."
