Get the flawless look

Discover how best to apply makeup products that are right for you and your skin...

• Blend foundation into neck so you don't get a line around the face. This will avoid a mask look.
  
  
• Always use an SPF (skin protection factor) 365 days of the year as UVA rays are an ageing factor all year round.
  
  
• If your hands or skin on the body feel dry, mix a little sugar and oil and massage in circular movements. This will leave the skin feeling silky and smooth.
  
  
• When using mascara, avoid pumping product before applying to lashes as it can dry mascara out.
  
  
• If the consistency of your foundation or concealer is too thick and you would like a more natural base, mix a little moisturiser with the foundation.
  
  
• When painting nails, paint the tips and underneath the nail to hold and prolong varnish.
  
  
• Always use a base coat when painting which will give the nail bed a smooth surface to paint.
  
  
• You may need a different colour foundation depending on the season as skin pigment changes throughout the year.
  
  
• Skin tones change as we get older. Beware - the colour foundation you wore 10 years ago may not be the right colour today.
  
  
• Due to the elements in the winter i.e. wind, cold, heat and lack of water, skin can become more dehydrated. You may need a heavier moisturiser.
  
  
• Forget modern make-up or make-up at the moment as long as it makes you feel good about yourself.
  
  
• Try not to compare yourself to others. Don't be afraid of change.
  
  
• Study your face in the mirror and get to know your best features and focus on that area.
  
  
• Finding the right foundation is the key to a flawless finish - get it right and you will look glowing.
  
  
• Wear make-up with confidence.
