It has been a busy time for Rachel Stevens. Not only is the singer back touring with S Club 7, she was a coach on The Voice Ireland and took part in the Strictly Come Dancing Tour back in January. Rachel, 37, and husband Alex Bourne also have their hands full looking after their two daughters, Amelie, four, and Minnie, one. Here, Rachel, who has regularly topped \u201cworld\u2019s sexiest women\u201d lists, reveals her top beauty secrets and why she\u2019s taking part in Elizabeth Arden\u2019s My Eight Hours campaign, which reveals eight hours in the day of eight inspirational women.<\/p>\n

Why are you supporting the Elizabeth Arden #My8Hours campaign?
\nI\u2019ve always been a big fan of the Eight Hour range, so it was great to be asked to be involved. People always ask me what my day is like from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed, and it\u2019s really varied. At the moment I\u2019m on tour, so it\u2019s a fun way to be able to share a snapshot of my eight hours and great to work with seven inspirational women, getting an insight into their lives.<\/p>\n

What do you think was captured within your eight hours that reflects your lifestyle the most?<\/p>\n

The variety and pace of life is crazy at the moment, so there\u2019s no real normal day but this definitely shows a typical day on the road touring fairly well! I\u2019m always working on different projects, whether I\u2019m on tour with S Club 7, in Ireland filming The Voice, or being at home with the family. I\u2019m lucky to be able to have the experiences that I have and to do a job that I love. No day is ever the same and it is always fast paced! One day I can be at sound checks, dance rehearsals, in hair and make-up and then on stage, and the next I can be on mummy duty at home with my girls.<\/p>\n

If you were given an extra hour in the day, how would you spend it?<\/p>\n

Having a massage!<\/p>\n

What would be your perfect eight hours?<\/p>\n

My perfect eight hours would be spent with my family. It would probably start with a lovely lie in, with the girls jumping into bed with us, followed by a big family breakfast, maybe a walk and then a relaxing afternoon at home \u2013 there\u2019s nothing better!<\/p>\n

Why are you a fan of the Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve used it for as long as I can remember. It\u2019s one of those products that everyone knows about \u2013 or should know about! I use the Eight Hour Cream on dry areas like my knees and elbows but it\u2019s also great for your eyebrows because it\u2019s so conditioning. It\u2019s also a great product to use after you\u2019ve been in the sun because it\u2019s so hydrating \u2013 especially for your lips.<\/p>\n

Who has inspired your career?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always had a strong team of advisers who I work alongside and trust, which I think is really important, especially in my career. I do throw myself into things and give them my all \u2013 I love a good challenge! Even when I was at school, I was determined to do what I needed to do to go to the London College of Fashion and, when I left there, I wanted to go straight into work. I think it\u2019s just in my make-up.<\/p>\n

What is your career highlight?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been very fortunate in my career, so there have been lots of highlights \u2013 from meeting the Queen and travelling the world, to helping the charities I work with and visiting projects for WaterAid in Ethiopia. I wouldn\u2019t be able to pick just one. Being back on tour with S Club 7 and experiencing it a little bit older than the first time has been amazing. It\u2019s allowed me to be in the moment much more than
\nI ever could have been when I was younger. And it\u2019s been fantastic to take everything in all over again, meeting the fans that have followed us since we began and just celebrating what we had.<\/p>\n

Which strong women do you find inspirational?<\/p>\n

Mums constantly inspire me! Becoming a mum to my two gorgeous girls has really made me appreciate what it means to be one. I\u2019ve found that I have much more of an understanding and compassion towards people of all different generations. There is no better job!<\/p>\n

What is the best make-up tip you have ever received?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been very lucky to have some absolutely brilliant make-up artists throughout the years, so I have collected lots of tips and tricks along the way. I think it\u2019s important to know which colours and shapes work for you. I\u2019m always learning about new products too. As well as applying concealer under your eyes, you can apply it down the bridge of your nose, where the light bounces off it \u2013 that really helps to contour the face.
