Sheree Murphy exclusive: ‘My marriage to Harry Kewell ALWAYS comes before my career.’

Sheree Murphy, 42, has graced our television screens for years, having been on Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and I’m A Celebrity, and she’s now returning to her soap roots as Dakota in Neighbours. But would she ever be able to persuade her husband Harry Kewell and four children to move back to Australia with her?
You’re returning to Neighbours as Dakota. What can you tell us about the episode?

Raphael wants to know how his mum died, and Dakota is the only person who knows what happened. Paul Robinson has tracked her down in London and his son Leo offers to go and meet her. They don’t want her to know it’s anything to do with Paul Robinson, so he makes out he’s someone else, but then as he’s probing her about her past, Dakota cottons on and Leo just cracks.

She was always known as a troublemaker, so is she still causing havoc?

Let’s just say she’s as slippery and conniving as always. Nothing’s really changed, and I feel sorry for poor Leo because he messes everything up. I wouldn’t like to be..

Sheree Murphy, 42, has graced our television screens for years, having been on Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and I’m A Celebrity, and she’s now returning to her soap roots as Dakota in Neighbours. But would she ever be able to persuade her husband Harry Kewell and four children to move back to Australia with her?

You’re returning to Neighbours as Dakota. What can you tell us about the episode?

She was always known as a troublemaker, so is she still causing havoc?

Let’s just say she’s as slippery and conniving as always. Nothing’s really changed, and I feel sorry for poor Leo because he messes everything up. I wouldn’t like to be him when Paul Robinson gets his hands on him.

Do you think there is a chance of you making a more regular appearance?

Possibly, I’d love to move back to Australia, and I think it would also be great for the kids to be there again. If Harry ever got offered a job over there, yeah, why not?

You’ve been in Emmerdale, Neighbours AND Hollyoaks, and you’ve also said you’d love to star in Corrie or EastEnders. What is it about soaps that you love so much?

I love them because a) it’s regular work and b) you get to know your character. Even though you’re playing the same character for long periods of time, the storylines are played so dramatically in soaps that one minute you’re doing this and then another minute something really dramatic happens and your life is changed drastically. You also grow with the characters as well which is nice.

You’ve been married to Harry Kewell for nearly 16 years. What is your secret to staying together?

We spend quite a lot of time apart because of his work, but we’ve always said no matter what comes along career-wise, we will always consider each other. What is important is us as a couple and our children. No job is greater than our relationship, nothing is. And as long as we’re both on the same page, I’m so supportive of his career. Our kids are our responsibility and our relationship is stronger than anything. So we do put ourselves first, because it is hard to get lost in this world sometimes.

So Harry IS away a lot, as you said, and you have four children. How do you cope around the house? Do the kids help you out?

I’m like Sargent Major with the kids, everything runs like clockwork in my house. But the older two have jobs around the house and I don’t think I could do what I do without their help.

Can you see any of the kids going into acting or football?

My son Taylor is doing drama in A Level. He’s not interested in sport whatsoever. I was kind of hoping he might follow his dad because I love watching Harry play, but he’s not interested at all. He decided that from quite a young age, which was quite surprising, as he was quite good at it as well. Harry was happy, he was like, ‘As long as he’s happy it’s fine,’ but he loves acting.

And obviously you live in Cheshire. Would you ever consider going on Real Housewives of Cheshire like Paddy McGuiness’ wife Christine?

No. I have been asked actually. I love it, I’m absolutely obsessed with watching it, and I know half of them as well, but no. There’s no way. Harry can not stand it! He’s like, ‘I can’t believe you’re watching grown women who are married with children bickering over who said something at a party. Is this for real?’

Lip make-up: Tricks to enhance a metal lipstick

Healthy complexion, deep but natural look, slightly dewy cheekbones and lips. This is the look for the spring summer 2023 make-up that comes directly from the fashion shows. A perfect mood to start experimenting at this beginning of the year to shine on Saturday evening and at every social event. We have seen it on the catwalks of the Japanese brand Ujoh and the sustainable fashion brand Botter. In the center, in both cases, lipsticks in bright colors, from orange to lilac, rigorously metallic. Complete with a contrasting lip contour pencil for a totally new lip art, made up of broken lines and metallic explosions.
Ultra violet + ruby red, Holographic blue + brick, Bronze + fuchsia, make way for the imagination in color combinations, of course, but also in the design of the lips that everything can be anything but precise. With outlines over the line or even broken in half.

How to wear makeup on Saturday night: lips are metallic
For spring, the lips with a very bright semi-transparent effect are back in vogue, in an irrepressible way. The desire to see them more and more fleshy and luminescent will increase with the arrival of the first heat. Even the companies that still offer the mat now do it in a less exasperated way.

Guerlain, for example, has found the right compromise. The lipsticks of its Rouge G Luxurious Velvet Metal line combine a velvety effect with a bold metallic finish. It’s the new matte metal trend, inspired by the play of reflections generated by the flutter of butterflies’ wings. “With their captivating colors, these insects offer a magical show”, says Violette, Guerlain make up creative director, who admits “I’ve always dreamed of being able to reproduce these glitters on my lips”.

Contrasting matte lip pencil for creative strokes
With a lipstick as important as the metallic one, the lip contour pencil should be as neutral as possible, in a natural, even transparent shade. But no! This spring, ultra-matte finishes and contrasting colors win, even as bright as fuchsia. To put on make-up on Saturday night, therefore let your imagination run wild.
As for the line, the trend of over-the-line lips continues, appearing larger and plumper without the need to resort to touch-ups from an aesthetic doctor. But this diktat is accompanied by another one, that of the lip art which highlights only a part of the outline. It can be the upper one or vice versa lower. Sometimes the line is even broken midway through the cupid’s bow. A perfect technique for those who don’t want to go unnoticed and already have plump lips.

Pay attention to the texture of the pencil which must be strictly long-lasting and non-transfer so as not to ruin the work of art. Outline Waterproof Lip Pencil by Astra Make-Up, for example, is ultra-resistant but not dry, its formula, enriched with hyaluronic acid and ceramides, helps the lip mucosa retain hydration for a comfort effect that lasts all day.

Pixie Cut: Ideas for wearing short hair during 2023

The Pixie Cut was born to be a symbol of rebellion and, in a sense, it is also a trend in 2023. A light, cheeky and fun short haircut that rejects traditional aesthetic conventions. In the 1920s and then in the 1950s, in fact, the Pixie cut was the tomboyish look to show off as an alternative to long hair.

A shortcut with an androgynous charm which, also for 2023, refers to icons of the past, which have made the Pixie Cut timeless, such as Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy, Mia Farrow, and Sharon Stone. Without giving up a touch of novelty. The classic silhouette of a haircut like the Pixie is transformed in 2023 and conquers the stars of the moment.

Pixie Cut is very short and feminine but capable of conquering even with its androgynous soul. The classic short garçonne cut for 2023 is further shortened, revealing all the beauty of a micro fringe or lengths so mini that they almost completely vanish. The most interesting element of the short Pixie Cut is the innate elegance of this cut. To be worn straight or curly, it is the right idea to give 2023 hair a futuristic, almost alien allure.

Mixie and Bixie are the hybrid short cuts of 2023
Mixie cut blends the silhouette of the mullet with the typical lengths of the Pixie cut. A balance to be maintained through a skillful game of scaling.

On the other hand, the union between bob and Pixie Cut is the basis of another great hair trend for the season, in this the short hair lengthens slightly, almost as if to reach the typical lengths of the bob. A soft cut that wraps around the face and frames it lightly.

Pixie Cut 2023 medium and long
Forget dramatic shaves and sharp layers, the Pixie Cut 2023 is a homogeneous cut. A game of volumes and movements, which lengthens the strands of the cut to obtain a soft and texturized effect. A silhouette that seems to conform to that of the bowl cut thanks to its roundness, without actually being so. A fundamental element is a fringe. Full coverage on the forehead, it softens according to the natural texture of the hair. The medium-long Pixie Cut is perfect also, accompanied by a side tuft. The effect is elegant and refined, but also extremely sensual.
