Vicky Binns aka. "Molly Dobbs"
On April. 14th the excitement was in the air, with the awaited arrival of the British actress Vicky Binns (who plays Molly Dobbs) on the wildly successful British Soap Opera Coronation Street!!!! I am a HUGE fan of the show, and every year around this time, I have the pleasure of meeting actors from the show, who come to Toronto for The British Isles Show.
When Vicky entered the makeup room, I smiled widely and exclaimed with enthusiasm "MOLLY"!!!! (Oh, yes I did)! She giggled (I'm sure she's heard that many times) and extended her hand to me. We exchanged pleasantries and talked about her time here in Toronto and brief visit to Nova Scotia. Then we got down to the good stuff...Coronation Street! Ahahahahahah!
In the pic below, is Dina Pugliese & Vicky playing around doing their best version of the infamous Soap Opera "Surprised" you just found out your husband is having an affair "LOOK"...and speaking of affairs, back to Corrie St.
*Quick Corrie Street Synopsis: Vicky's character "Molly" had an affair with her husband's "Tyrone" best friend "Kevin" and now she's pregnant with "Kevin's" baby! It gets better, "Kevin" is like "I don't want this baby, get rid of it" and "Molly's" like "Nah uh, I'm having it"! And this whole time poor "Tyrone" has no clue what's going on.....DRAMA!!!!!! Juicy, right?
So, I joked telling her how annoyed I am with "Kevin", and if he tells "Molly" to get rid of that baby one more time I'm gonna flip! Lol! She surprisingly says to me, "Well you're one of the only people who are on my side. Most people I meet are upset with "Molly" and say she's a slapper" (British slang for trollop). Lol! We continued to joke around about her character's situation on the show and then I thought I should get to some makeup talk at some point.
FAMOUS FAVORITES 
I asked her what her makeup must haves were and she told me she loves Max Factor's Pan Stick Ultra Creamy Makeup...that's quite a mouthful! She went onto say what her favorite lipgloss was, but she couldn't remember the name. She said it's from MAC, it's a coral color and it has a funny name. Right away I guessed "Lychee Luxe" and she said "Yup, that's it"!!!
I was so happy that I got to do her makeup from scratch, and here's what I used!
SKIN: Vasanti Concealer V1 (under eyes) & Kett Airbrushing Foundation on entire face. To set: C4 & C6 Studio Fix by MAC
EYES: MAC "Vanilla Eyeshadow" (Brow Bone), "Corduroy Eyeshadow" (Crease), "Brule Eyeshadow" (Lid), "Mystery Eyeshadow" (Lower Liner) & L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara
CHEEKS: MAC "Dame Blush"
LIPS: Joe Fresh Lipgloss "Petunia" mixed with "Flamingo"
Vicky was a complete pleasure to be around and do makeup on. I've been a fan of Coronation Street for years and I think I just found my NEW favorite character...Molly!!!!
