She’s a broadcasting host, a mum-of-two, a charitable ambassador… the list goes on. But despite such a busy schedule, Carrie Bickmore always looks flawless – and we want to know more.
For one, her fashion sense is impeccable – her maternity styles on The Project of late have inspired the masses, and they’re surprisingly affordable.
As for her glowing skin and sleek ‘do’s? Well, there’s no denying Carrie is a natural beauty, but she also has a few tricks up her sleeve that anyone can try.
Lucky for us, Carrie has been vocal about her beauty routine, providing some handy tips for women who, like the TV host herself, want to look amazing and not spend an age doing so.
Here, we round up Carrie’s best beauty tips, because who better to take advice from than the Aussie style icon herself?
Wear sunscreen (and even better, use products with sunscreen in them!)
Carrie has previously stated she uses a SunSense anti-aging face lotion, as well as an SPF30+ lip blam. She told Popsugar: “I’ve learnt that sun protection is necessary even in the cooler months as apparently up to 80 percent of UV radiation can filter through light cloud, so I’ve become a stickler for a daily solution and this really suits my skin.”
Purple shampoo works a treat
There’s no denying Bickmore’s blonde locks are enviable, and it turns out she uses purple shampoo from keeping her colour going brassy. We’ll take your word for it, Carrie!
Change up your makeup shades to match your hair colour
When Carrie went brunette, one of the most exciting things about changing her hair colour was mixing up her makeup colours. Carrie told Beauty Crew that her eyes looked greener with brown hair, which meant she could experiment with different eye shadow colours. She also changed the colour of her foundation so her skin didn’t look too pale in comparison.
Have bobby pins at the ready
Carrie has attended a number of Logie awards in her time, and her ultimate never-fail hair tip for the event is simple: always have bobby pins. You never know when your tresses will need a boost!

Keep it simple
Carrie isn’t one to spend hours in the bathroom. In fact, she told Beauticate that her skincare routine is much like her mum’s: “She would duck in, have a few go-to products (I can still remember the smell of her apricot/almond night cream that she used to put on) and that would be it. Now I’m the same when I’m not at work!”
Micellar water is key
While Carrie keeps things simple when she’s not at work, her makeup for The Project certainly isn’t. After filming, she loves to come home and remove all the product with Micellar water, some serums and moisturiser.
Embrace your face at any age
In August, Carrie shared a funny anecdote about the joys of aging. Her daughter Evie asked what the “stripes” (aka wrinkles) were on her forehead. Carrie explained that the wrinkles were there because “Mummy is old”.
Adorably, her daughter responded: “No Mummy, you are not old, you are young and pretty like a stripey tiger.”
With that kind of compliment, who wouldn’t want to embrace their wrinkles!?
