Jessica Gomes

Jessica Gomes looked flawless on the red carpet as she paired radiant skin with a polished blowdry.

Michelle Bridges opted for a natural makeup look and styled her hair into a sleek low bun.

Kate Niven

Kate started working for BEAUTYcrew in early 2016, first as a contributor, and was then named Beauty Writer in 2017. She loves picking the brains of the industry's top experts to get to the bottom of beauty's toughest questions. Bronze eyeshadow palettes are her weakness and she's forever on the hunt for the perfect nude nail polish to suit her fair skin. Her words can also be found in Men's Health magazine, and she now works in PR.
