We can't get enough of Ab Fab heroines Patsy and Eddy. As a film version of their hit TV series opens in cinemas, we sneak a peek inside their deliciously decadent beauty bags. 

It's finally here and it's fabulous - naturally. The eagerly anticipated Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie sees Patsy and Eddy forced to go on the run after accidentally drowning Kate Moss. Not that being in exile means they've let their sartorial standards slip. 

HELLO! beauty editor Nadine Baggott persuaded Bafta-winning make-up artist Christine Cant to tell us about the make-up kit she used on the film's stars Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders...
