Make-up secrets
Make your own body exfoliator
by adding a pinch of coarse salt to a dollop of your favourite
moisturizing cleanser.
Here is a great tip to keep your make-up intact for the night.
Loose powder is great for making your foundation last longer. Apply the first layer of foundation, wait 5 minutes, then apply another layer of loose powder.
Conceal that cold sore and stop it from spreading.
If you can't get to the pharmacist for any Zorivax, dab on tea tree oil. Allow the oil to
dry completely, then apply a cream concealer with a cotton bud (Use the
cotton bud only once if you need more concealer use another).
Eye definition.
To give your eyes definition, line your top lashes with a charcoal or navy blue shadow or pencil. Use your finger to
gently pull the skin at the corner of the eye outwards. This creates the best surface for applying line close
to the lashes.
Recovering from the night before.
When the eyes are looking tired, use navy blue mascara instead of brown or black. Blue will make the eyes look livelier
Vamp up to disguise stressed skin
Wear a dark, bold shade of lipstick to draw attention away from other features such as spotty skin or dark circles under the eyes.
No more dark circles!
Brush matt pale lilac or pink powder under the eyes to instantly brighten tired, dull skin
- it's a mini face-lift without the scalpel!
Get the look - a Flawless complexion
Apply foundation in a thin layer only where you need it. Pay particular attention
to areas under the eyes and around the nose. If you cover the whole face it will look flat, lifeless and mask like.
Go for glossy lips
Lips can become dry and flaky in warm weather, so try brushing them gently with a toothbrush dipped in
Vaseline. This will remove dead skin cells and leave a smooth base for the lippy. Enhance those lips naturally. Gloss is really flattering for older lips because it creates a softer look and the illusion of fullness. Apply a blob of gloss in the
centre of the bottom lip.
