What started as a university project in a London fast food chain has catapulted 29-year-old Amelia Dimoldenberg into viral stardom. The Chicken Shop Date creator (now a presenter, comedian, and an undisputed internet icon for serial daters and singletons) has amassed over two million subscribers on Youtube, from 'dating' musical legends such as Cher and Stormzy to actors like Jennifer Lawrence and even the animated cast of Chicken Run 2 (trust us, it's a must-watch).
Outside of the realm of nuggets and first-date grilling, Dimoldenberg is swiftly venturing into the beauty realm. The Marylebone native is the first to share her dazzling on-screen and award show beauty looks, whether it's a wicked cat eye liner, sultry smoky eye or high-shine, à la Bieber, lip combo. Did we mention, she's the poster girl for Olay's latest Vitamin C campaign?
While her red carpet beauty ensembles are undeniably maximalist, the internet sensation's go-to date look is far more pared back. In her '5 In 5' with ELLE UK, Amelia reveals her skin-first approach to everyday beauty, along with her pro-artist and celebrity make-up must-haves for securing that all-important second date.
