Morning after face.

If you woke up this Sunday morning looking like this , as i did .....read on !
I didn't mean to . I just had a "little rest" on the couch at 3am , then my next conscious thought is 11am and i'm still in last nights clothes and makeup ....oops naughty !
Here are a few tips on how to repair the damage and not look scary to the neighbourhood children!
First Cleanse that skin and moisturise well. Alcohol dehydrates the skin , so this is vital .
Im currently using
embryolisse
Weleda Almond intensive facial cream
Trilogy organic rosehip oil
No 7 protect and perfect eye cream

Drink lots of water while the moisture is soaking into the skin .
Next brighten up that Post Party "dug up "looking complexion with a radiance boosting serum
I love No7 Instant Radiance beauty Balm

When it comes to foundation , less is more using a little over the eyelids to cover any redness.
A touch of a creamy concealer used lightly over those dark circles will do wonders.
Daniel Sandler Hide it concealer or Estee Lauder Double wear concealer.

Use a highlighter to put life back into tired skin . Use  on the cheekbones the brow bone and a touch on the eyelids .
I recommend Mac Strobe cream , Illamasqua Gleam Cream, Daniel Sandler Watercolour in Icing .

Curl the lashes and apply mascara. Define the lashes without overloading them .

Cream or liquid blush will give a fresher look
Try Daniel Sandler Watercolour in "Flush "

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour Cream on the lips and you are back to life , and full of good intentions to "never never ever do it again".....til next saturday night!

My First Time.....

My first post on my first blog! i need to get into the swing of this whole blogging thing, so here goes......

Top of the wish list of  models i'd love to work with , the incredibly beautiful Karen Elson, working one of my favourite looks, the statement Red Lip !
There is nothing like putting on a red lip to make you feel glam and sexy .
Its not a complicated look but it needs a little patience .

• Prep is so important . Brush the lips gently with a toothbrish to remove any dead skin . apply lip balm to moisturise. My favourite is Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream .
• Blot off any excess balm and work the lipstick into the lips with a lipbrush. Then blot with a tissue.
• Go back over the colour and perfect the edges using a steady hand .
• Tidy up and little mistakes with your concealer brush .
• Check for any lipstick on your teeth(not a good look), and you are good to go !

More on the red lips later. I could dedicate an entire blog to this subject!
