Anne Batley Burton says the key to lasting beauty is a smile and a well-looked-after liver.
‘Champagne lady’ and passionate cat welfare advocate Anne Batley Burton’s laugh is an early highlight of The Real Housewives of Auckland.
Here she shares her beauty tips – remember to always sleep on your back, and look after your liver.
SKINCARE
Over many years I have religiously used Clarins and Clinique but more recently I have been using some other products.
In the morning I splash cold water into my eyes, use eye drops and then I tone my skin with Meg 21 Toner, put on Meg 21 Antioxidant Cell Therapy and Clarins eye gel to reduce any puffiness around the eyes. I let that settle and then use Avene moisturiser and Clarins Eye Firming.
At night it is so important to religiously cleanse my skin with Clarins Gentle Cleanser, tone and remove eye makeup then follow it with Meg 21 Eye Treatment and Smooth Radiance face cream – both with supplamine. You have to read up on it, it’s an incredible ingredient.
BRAVO
Cuddly Bear and Anne Batley Burton drink champs while they wait for the electrician in an episode of Real Housewives.
Always a lip cream to keep the lips nice and soft and plumped up of course.

Just before going to bed I use my eye drops again.
Real Housewife Anne Batley Burton is passionate about cats and champagne.
I try not to go into the sun for any period of time but if I need to, I prefer Circadia by Dr Pugliese.
If I get a spray tan it’s form Jessica Binnendyk from Tan in the City.
I never have facials and prefer to do my own skin care.
The liver must function well in order to have glowing skin and I use a number of homeopathic and vitamin products to ensure mine is in good shape in spite of the constant onslaught from champagne.
Drink lots of water to keep it hydrated and keep out of the sun. As a teenager I foolishly did a lot of sunbathing but since the age of around 23 I have always tried to keep at least my face out of the sun.
I personally don’t tend to use a sunblock but there is always some in my foundation and if I was in a situation where I had no choice I would use a good quality one without parabens or nasty chemicals.
MAKEUP
Like most of us I was interested in makeup as a little girl, but I became seriously interested around 11 years old and loved to make up my mother’s friends. It was a struggle to be allowed to wear it myself and I suppose I was around 14 or 15 before I was allowed to wear it for special occasions. I started using it regularly at the age of 16 when I started university.
I use Clarins Skin Illusion Foundation or Estee Lauder Double Wear Light foundation for longer wear. I love Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks and use a range of those for an overall glow and blush.
For eyes I have been using MAC products usually in the brown/beige tones, lipstick – my favourite Frosted Apricot from Estee Lauder teamed always with a base pencil from Dior or MAC.
The eyes have it and even if you have nothing else a slash of lipstick and a glow to your cheeks makes a lot of difference.
I put makeup on every day – it’s always a boost to see yourself looking pretty and for everyone else too.
HAIR
I use a range of products always to add volume but currently Kevin Murphy Plumping range as well as Activance Hair care which stimulates hair renewal. Excellent product.
Gary Rogers has always looked after my hair and since I am allergic to hair dye he applies my organic dye Natur Vital. Although he is well-known for his hair extensions he is a great stylist too.
My hair maintenance is very simple. I regularly use my Ativance to maintain it, have a trim each month and colour. I don’t blow wave it but pop it into pin curls to give it some body and I’m ready to go
I use the occasional heated roller if no time to wait and a blow dryer just to dry it off rather than style it.
NAILS
About every two months I have a manicure and pedicure but the rest of the time I do my own. I’m not one for painted nails really – too busy – and as for coloured toenails, they are not for me. I prefer the natural look.
If I do use a nail polish it is always in the nude/pale pink or if I really splashed out it would be a pale coral.
FRAGRANCE & BODY
I’ve worn Coco Chanel for many, many years, but I’ve also enjoyed Bijan, Panthere de Cartier – for obvious reasons. I just love the bottles with the panthers on either side.
I have so many they don’t have perfume in them any more. So disappointed! They were my two favourites but I have used many – another favourite was Giorgio from Rodeo Drive. My very first perfume was Youth Dew by Estee Lauder.
I never use bath gels as I find them irritating however I moisturise all over daily usually with either Clarins or L’Occitanne – I love the product with shea butter.
I rarely take a bath and prefer showers. I used to love to take gorgeous bubble baths and luxuriate in it with a glass of champagne but the perfume wasn’t good for my sensitive skin so I had to refrain.
LIFESTYLE
I follow my mother’s advice and keep a smile on my face or at least a nice expression! I always sleep on my back – never on my side. I don’t use Botox, fillers or anything along those lines but I do the best I possibly can myself by religiously taking excellent care of my skin.
There may come a day where I succumb to these things but I don’t want to become a ‘desperado’ rushing off for another jab or nip and tuck. I would like to age gracefully like my beautiful mother. Also I believe that if you are a happy person it shows in your face.
When travelling I like to drink lots of water (and champagne of course). It’s good to wear minimum makeup, moisturise throughout the flight and spray with Avene or Evian water.
I love shopping for beauty products. In New Zealand I go to Smith and Caughey’s or when in Sydney it tends to be David Jones. I can just whizz around trying different things all in the one spot – so easy.
My mother would have to be my beauty icon.
Both my must-have product and my quick beauty fix are from Clarins – their eye gel and the Beauty Flash balm.
I used to think that using a lot of products at once was going to make a big difference for a glamorous night out. All it did was bring me out in a rash which took about a week to come down. I found often it’s best just to keep it simple.
I can’t bear heavy foundation that looks like a mask, totally covering the skin beneath. Makeup is supposed to enhance, not smother the real you.
If I had a magic wand I’d make it so I had never sunbathed and could get rid of freckles on my arms and legs.
I think most beauty issues do have products that can give a quick result but my concern is what chemicals are in them? I’ve seen lots of products (particularly on the internet) where the physical results are amazing but I’m too scared to use them in case there are a lot of downsides.
So products that are proven to be safe without chemicals are what we need to address a lot of beauty concerns.
