    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.

    And Ada is gorgeous, though Im still skeptical about the Nude by Nature mineral range :P

    Dazzlepants 10 Aug 2009 10:06 AM

    I've made that tea tree oil mistake too XD

    Shes beautiful and she always looks so healthy!. I havent tried this yet but i think id like to. Mineral makeup seems to be the way to go to help combat pimples .. god knows my skin needs that help!

    Ada sounds lovely in her interview! Good to hear that her skin breaks out just like ours do too!

    akalalouie 21 Jul 2009 12:41 AM

    she has such good skin & never heard about the Nude by Nature range before this

    I think Ada is so gorgeous, and she skin is always very radiant when i see her on TV

    tammerly sara 18 Jul 2009 4:07 AM

    Ada always has beautiful skin (and a great natural tan) and so she would look lovely wearing natural and mineral products because they would not cover her lovely, radiant skin.

    Vcorreiapinto 17 Jul 2009 12:34 PM

    She has given such good advice. She is a natural beauty who always looks like she has minimal makeup but I do agree sometimes you can see that she had bad acne and the makeup emphasises this.

    Trikk3 17 Jul 2009 7:32 AM

    from what i see on t.v, the poor thing has quite bad acne

    Strawberries 17 Jul 2009 7:10 AM

    good advice, thanks :)

    Candyfairy 16 Jul 2009 11:34 AM

    Love Ada, great interview, and some great advice from her. Thanks heaps BH! Much love...xox

    Yes Ada still does Avon, cause I had a book last week and she was in there. I think Ada is lovely but everytime I see her on Home & Away, she has blemishes on her face that look like heavy make-up has been put over them. I've seen Nude by Nature advertised but why can't you just buy it from a chemist?

    rrswong 16 Jul 2009 9:52 AM

    Ada has really natural looking skin, and I will have to try using tea tree oil on my spots, then!

    Bisbal 16 Jul 2009 9:49 AM

    nude by nature is a great mineral makeup doesn't clog pores feels great on skin I LOVE IT!!!

    hot chillies 15 Jul 2009 7:57 AM

    adas face does look good in this photo, i have seen her, in home and away and her skin had quite a few blemishes, looks like nude by nature is definately working for her, i have spoken to quite women that have switched over to mineral make-up, it seems that the mineral powder is not so harsh on their skin.

    She is so natural gorgeous, i will have to try that makeup..and i use tea tree oil too on my spots, works a treat!!!

    She is so natural gorgeous, i will have to try that makup..and i use tea tree oil too on my spots, works a treat!!!

    bluerose 15 Jul 2009 5:11 AM

    I've used undiluted tea tree oil on my spots, thankfully it didn't burn my skin!

    cake crusader 15 Jul 2009 4:19 AM

    She is lovely. I've not heard of Nude by Nature, will look out for it now.

    Fuss Free 15 Jul 2009 2:13 AM

    My mum was talking about this, i haven't tried it as yet, I wasn't sure "mineral makeup" really is the in thing at the moment, I might try this.

    Delicious Girl 14 Jul 2009 11:23 PM

    She is beautiful. So true that she can't control the amount of make up going on her face. Skin care is so important.

    annibaby 14 Jul 2009 10:40 PM

    I have used this and sad to say the palest shade was still too dark for me, otherwise it is a great product as it contains natural minerals and didn't make me break out.

    Cinduki 14 Jul 2009 10:26 AM

    Never heard of Nude by Nature 'til now and it sounds good so far, bring on the reviews ladies!
