What are your top tips to transform a look from day to evening quickly?
Glam it up for the evening with dramatic eyes or dramatic lips. Only go for one or the other, otherwise you’ll overdo it.
What are your best tips for a more youthful appearance?
Keep foundation fresh and natural, with colours that compliment your skin tone. Don’t overdo powder as this will cake the face and create lines. Always keep a good skin care regime to ensure that you maintain fab, vibrant skin.
Which products should you never be without?
Lip gloss, mascara and blusher are my three essential products.
Which products should you spend more on and which can be cheaper versions?
I love eye shadows by Nars, the colour pigmentation is fabulous. These can be quite expensive but for a cheaper option, try Bourjois eye shadows. The Trio collections are inexpensive and accessible. For lips, Stila and Mac both provide an excellent range of glosses and lipsticks. Cheaper products are available from No 7, which are young and vibrant.
Which are your favourite products and brands?
For skincare, I’m currently loving products by Pure Logical and Higher Nature. These are collagen based products that help plump up the skin, keeping it young and fresh. Guerlain Kiss Kiss lipstick is fab, Christian Dior Show Mascara gives thick lush eye lashes. All Laura Mercier bronzers are a must. I like Mac Studio mist foundations for a light weight spray foundation.
What small make-up trick can make a big impact?
Try an eyeliner to dress up eye make up. This can create a dramatic and sexy look. Try some sparkle on the face, especially the eyes. Shimmer always looks sexier than matt. Glitters look fabulous at night and can attract attention from admirers.
What are women’s most common beauty mistakes?
Make up should never look too much or caked. This will immediately put people off you. Go for tinted moisturisers, soft eye tones, creamy soft cheeks and coordinate your colours. Get rid of any old and out of date make up from your cosmetic bag. Be experimental and remember if it doesn’t work, you can always remove it and start over.
How can you disguise tired eyes?
There is no easy answer to this, whether it is a genetic problem or brought on by excessive drinking, sunbathing or smoking. Try Monu Active Collagen eye patches. They contain 99 per cent freeze dried collagen which provides an intensive hydration treatment, helping to smooth and plump up fine lines.
What’s the best shape for eyebrows this season?
A fuller eyebrow is always more attractive. Don’t over pluck but try to maintain a good shape, paying particular attention to symmetry for both brows.
Which beauty treatments should women have regularly?
I’m a great believer in exfoliating to help maintain a perfect glowing skin. You should have facials every 3-6 weeks, depending on your skin-type. Dermalogica and collagen masks from Erno Laszio Ultima are my favourite products
