Coronation Street fans often see Samia Longchambon looking camera-ready as Maria Connor, but now the actress has revealed what actually goes into her workday makeup routine. After receiving several messages from viewers asking about the products she uses, Samia decided to open up her dressing room makeup bag and share the favourites she genuinely reaches for before filming.
Samia Longchambon Reveals Why She Does Her Own Makeup At Corrie
Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria Connor in Coronation Street, shared her makeup favourites in an Instagram reel after fans kept asking about the products she uses at work. The actress made the video feel casual and personal as she explained that she wanted to run through a few of her regular favourites for those who had been curious.
She began by saying, “There is quite a lot of you who message me and ask for my makeup products that I use at work. So, I thought I’d run through a few of my favourites.” Samia then gave fans a little behind-the-scenes detail about how makeup usually works on the Coronation Street set.
She explained, “I must say, first off, most people at Corrie go down to our brilliant makeup department to get their makeup professionally applied, but I just choose to do my own because I quite like just sitting in my dressing room listening to a podcast while I do it all.” That small detail gave fans a sweet glimpse into her pre-filming routine and showed that her makeup time is also a quiet moment for herself.
Samia also made sure viewers knew the video was not a paid promotion. While talking through her products, she said, “None of this is an ad, by the way. I’m just literally sharing my favourites.” That made her recommendations feel more genuine, especially because she showed products she clearly uses often.
Samia Shares The Base, Concealer, Blush, And Bronzer She Uses
Samia started with the base products she uses all the time. She said, “But yeah, anyway, this is the base that I use all the time. It’s Tarte Base Tape and it’s double duty beauty.” She then revealed that she mixes it with another popular glow product, adding, “It’s really good and I mix it with a bit of Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter and it just gives a bit of a glow.”
For concealer, Samia chose Tarte Shape Tape and praised it strongly. She said, “Concealer wise, this is amazing. It’s Tarte Shape Tape and it goes under my eyes and anywhere else I need a bit of help.” Her words made it clear that the product is one of the main staples in her everyday work makeup routine.
The actress then moved on to blush and showed a MAC product that looked very well-loved. She said, “Blush, this MAC one, and I clearly need a new one, and that’s in shade Peaches.” The comment added a fun, relatable touch because fans could see that this was not just a product she owned, but one she actually uses regularly.
For bronzer, Samia shared one of her strongest favourites. She said, “Bronzer, this is the gold. It always will be. Chanel Soleil de Tint and I use that in medium. I think I need a new one of those as well. But yeah, I love that. It’s so good.” Her excitement over the product showed that it has been a long-time favourite in her makeup bag.
Samia Finishes Her Look With Tarte, MAC, And e.l.f. Favourites
Samia then spoke about the eyeshadow she has been using recently. She said, “Eyeshadow wise, again, it’s Tarte. None of this is an ad, by the way. I’m just literally sharing my favourites. I use this summer palette at the moment and just use whatever I feel like.” Instead of naming one fixed shade, she kept that part of her routine relaxed and flexible.
For lips, Samia revealed a product she has trusted for years. She said, “And lips, MAC lip pencil is Spice. I used this for forever. It’s just a great shade.” The shade has clearly stayed in her routine for a long time, which explains why she mentioned it as one of her favourites.
She completed the routine with a lip gloss from e.l.f. and said, “And the lip gloss I’m using is Elf and that is blush much.” After running through all the products, she wrapped up the video simply by saying, “And that’s it. I hope you found that useful.”
Samia’s full list of favourites included Tarte Base Tape, Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, Tarte Shape Tape, MAC blush in Peaches, Chanel Soleil de Tint in Medium, a Tarte summer eyeshadow palette, MAC lip pencil in Spice, and e.l.f. lip gloss in Blush Much. For Coronation Street fans who wanted to know how she creates her fresh work look, the reel finally gave them a clear answer straight from Samia herself.
