Natural beauty: Ada Nicodemou

We love a bit of inside goss from a TV starlet, so it was a pleasure to grab a few precious minutes with Ada Nicodemou, a.k.a Leah Patterson-Baker on Home and Away, and the face of new mineral make-up brand Nude by Nature. Nicodemou tells us why she loves mineral make-up, her bedside table essentials and why undiluted tea tree oil is so not a good idea.

What the most interesting beauty product you own?
Nude by Nature mineral make-up as it’s all natural and good for skin.

The best beauty tip I’ve ever heard is…
Always wash your face at the end of the night. The one night you don’t, you’ll wake up with huge spots the next morning.

Name a worst-ever beauty blunder.
I tried to treat spots on my face with tea tree oil but didn’t realise it had to be diluted first…I ended up burning my face!

Who’s your beauty icon and why?
There are a few! Kate Hudson, Charlize Theron and Jennifer Aniston to name a few. They’re always so effortlessly beautiful and natural, as though it’s taken no time at all to get ready.

What’s on your bedside table?
A book, cuticle cream, hand moisturiser and a good lip balm.

What’s the last beauty item you bought?
I just bought a new eyelash curler. I love the look when I use one.

What’s your usual beauty routine?
I cleanse, use a light moisturiser when I need to, eye cream. I exfoliate twice a week, try to get regular facials, eat well, drink loads of water, exercise as much as I can and finish by wearing Nude by Nature mineral make-up to let my skin breathe.

What must-have beauty product would you not leave home without?
Lip balm and perfume – every chick needs these in your handbag for touch-ups!

If you were shipwrecked on a desert island what three beauty products would you want with you?
The entire Nude by Nature range, especially the Mineral Bronzer and Finishing Mineral Veil.

If you weren’t an actress you’d be…
A Real Estate Agent, Financial Planner, running some sort of business or a Life Coach …there are so many things!

Why mineral make-up?
My skin was going through a terrible stage of really breaking out, and I didn’t know why. At work I can’t really control how much make-up is put on my face, so in my downtime, I wanted to cover my flaws but in a way that would allow my skin to breathe. I decided to look into the natural side of make-up and discovered Nude by Nature.

Not sure about mineral makeup yet. Still researching, I am a Revlon Colorstay girl from way back. I need to learn more about minerals and maybe test some out.

oh i have done the tea tree oil mistake too, nude by nature looks like it might be a high quality mineral make up, worth testing

Jennyvuong 26 Jan 2010 11:56 AM

Lipstick_Princess 8 Nov 2009 11:35 AM

DanniiBeauty 6 Nov 2009 10:03 PM

dont know much about ada, only that she is on home and away - which i dont watch.

Raiychie 26 Oct 2009 11:02 AM

I love the product too, but the medium is a bit too dark and the light is too light. Does anyone know of a contact email for the company, as I'd like to give this feedback to them.

MissZoey 16 Oct 2009 12:40 AM

i LOVE the nude by nature range, but its sad how it only has 3 colours of foundation..

beauty_muskin69 8 Oct 2009 9:27 AM

great article havent heard of "nude bu nature" but it sounds worth trying:)

Aleisharobinson_ 2 Oct 2009 8:41 AM

im definitely going to try out mineral makeup as im having the same problem as she was, maybe its because my skin is getting clogged and cant breathe?

Neverland 1 Oct 2009 12:20 PM

Wow Ada seems lovely. I have seen the Nude by Nature advertisements on tv, they look pretty good, and best of all it's natural :)

chiara-louise 20 Sep 2009 12:27 AM

Ada is stunning, i think ill try this nude by nature makeup

Juliewalker 8 Sep 2009 6:51 AM

I luv this product,glides on effortlessly and looks like I have natural tan all year round!

Tangoette 31 Aug 2009 9:53 AM

I had a trial of the Nude by Nature mineral make up when I was at Chadstone last week and am still undecided on it. It felt really light but it looked really heavy on my face.

Beautygeek135 19 Aug 2009 3:16 AM

Great to hear more positive feedback about mineral makeup!

InJessT 12 Aug 2009 12:43 AM

She is a great product ambassador because she is so natural, which is perfect for natural mineral make up. Oh and I've also done that with tea tree oil! Put it on with a bandaid overnight, woke up the next morning with a burn. Way more embarassing than a little pimple! Those bottles should have huge warning labels on them!

I like her. Been a fan of her's since she was on Heartbreak High !
