MATCH TO YOUR SKIN TONE
Test foundation colours on the side of your face, not the back of your hand, and check the match in day, not artificial light.
2.BRUSH IT ON
If you prefer lighter coverage and struggle to achieve an even finish, try a foundation brush.
3.MAKE IT LAST
To set your foundation and get rid of excess shine, brush your T-Zone with a little powder.
Your eyes are the key feature to play up if you want to make a dramatic, sexy statement. Whether it's with lashings of mascara, wearing falsies or contouring your eyeshadow for a smokey-eye finish, made-up peepers really complete your look.
'Mascara should emphasis your lashes and stay put all night. choose one that you can build a little for a fullness and doesn't clump. The trick is to apply a coat alow it to dry and then apply another.'
