We are covered in the stuff, but before we go slopping stuff on with a trowel, we need to look after the icing on our cakes.
I have normal to dry skin. I also have chemical burns on my cheeks (right side is worse) and therefore permanantly rosy cheeks. My biggest bugbear is dry skin, so this is how i take care of it:
Pat your face with warm water and exfoliate with Body Shops Facial buff, once a week.
Cleanse and tone with Body Shops Vit E range. This stuff is INSANELY good, deep pores on my cheeks, dry patchs on my burns, colour variation, all evened out.
When it comes to moisturising, if i need something light i’ll use Johnsons & Johnsons baby lotion or for something heavier, Nivea Creme.
Two things i do here. For light wear, i just use No7 Intelligent Colour Foundation. I have pale skin, and this blends in beautifully. It is also SPF15 .. very important !!
For a more complete look you can use a primer then your foundation. I add contoring by using a darker pigment powder, then finish by fixing the look with a translucent powder.
As with your skin, you need to prime the area. A mini compact like this, is perfect! Cream gives a better finish than powder, but don’t go to heavy if you want a sharp look that will hold it’s own for hours.
I hate liquid eyeliners with a passion. Go for a soft kohl pencil.. and for goodness sake make sure it is sharp, you dont want wood shards in your eye as you drag it along. Alternatively, wet a liner brush and pat it in the pigment of your choice. Dress it up how ever you fancy with colour and blending.
Mascara is a must and if you want to wear Falsies, go for it, they are easy. Don’t shy from them but try not to wear 3 layers at once. Your a human not a babydoll.
Red lipstick (corail des Mers) or a nude/apricot gloss. SIMPLE!
Takes me about 10 - 25 minutes, if i have my game on!
