A good skincare regime alongside a healthy diet and lots of water will really help to improve your skin’s condition.

This will create the best base you can have for applying your makeup. Always use a good cleanser to properly remove your makeup and the grime and pollution of the day. I love using a clean flannel wrung out in warm water to remove my cleanser as it also has a slight exfoliating effect.

Serums and moisturisers will keep your skin really well hydrated and a separate eye cream applied sparingly with your ring finger to the delicate eye area.

Primers are my secret makeup weapon.

I absolutely adore the Smooth Like Silk Face Primer and use it every day AFTER my last skincare item but before makeup.

It will help to smooth and blur and fill fine lines and wrinkles so that when you put your foundation or Light Look Beauty Balm over the top it will go on smoothly, not sit in any lines and will last all day.

I also always use the Eye Primer but only a small amount on dry, oil-free eyelids, blended with a concealer brush and a clean finger. This is perfect for holding eyeshadow crease-free all day long.
