Both Bilverstone and makeup artist Sophie Cox worked on Aimee's makeup this season, which was a mix of modern and retro. First, she started with a little skin care: she used the Pestle & Mortar Pure Hyaluronic Serum (£21) — "love this and use it on anyone and everyone," Bilverstone said — then used the same products as she did on Ruby. (Plus a little Benefit Hoola Bronzer (£28) and Glossier Cloud Paint Blush (£15).) Aimee's lips, when they had a hit of colour, were usually a mix of the red-hued Lisa Eldridge Velvet Morning (£26) mixed "with a touch of" the berry-hued Charlotte Tilbury Love Liberty (£25).
The hair inspiration for Aimee was a handful of '70s icons, hence the "Farrah flip" hairstyle you'll notice in most of the episodes. To get that iconic feathery texture, hairstylist Kennedy used an assortment of products from Hair By Sam McKnight and Bedhead by TIGI.
