No one puts
baby in a corner!
We all experience dry skin at some stage, and
it can be a real downer when you are ready to hit the town and want to shine
like the diva star that you are! But don’t despair, we have ways and means to
sort this out – no one puts baby in a corner!
Whether your skin is naturally a bit dry, or winter
has taken its toll on your lovely face, you can use some makeup tips to
disguise the dryness, while treating it at the same time!
Make like Da
Vinci – let’s create!
Start by using a creamy-textured foundation
and concealer, and apply gently with a soft brush. The important thing here is
not to use any long-wear or powdery makeup, as this will only enhance your skin’s
dry patches. Remember, makeup is all about playing up your best features, and
minimising any flaws.
My recommendation for when my skin is dry in
the winter months is the exquisite Guerlain Super Aqua-Serum BB Hydra+ SPF 25
PA ++.
This amazing product improves skin circulation, restores a
youthful appearance and provides skin with powerful age-defying hydration. It’s
light and silky, yet it somehow lasts and lasts on your skin. The only thing it
doesn’t do, is make you a cup of tea!
For cheek and eye colour, we follow the same
theme – use a creamy cheek colour and eye shadow to compliment your satiny-textured
foundation. Always use soft brushes on dry skin, as they irritate less and
don’t pull on the skin.
Now, turning to the gorgeous windows of your
soul (your eyes). Use a liquid eye liner, and not a pencil or powder liner, as
these flake and make lines on dry skin. SK-II Color Clear Beauty Liquid Eye
Liner is one of my most treasured possessions! It comes at a good price, glides on smoothly with a fine line and actually moisturises the delicate skin around the eyes. And it is long-lasting and never smears, even after a good night out!
Flaky lips can’t hold any lipstick or gloss,
so a handy tip is to dampen an old toothbrush and give your luscious lips a
gentle brushing – this gets rid of any small flakes and softens the lips, ready
for your signature shade of gorgeous. Don’t go for a matte lipstick or long-wearing
formula, as these will dry the lips more. Instead, something moisturising and
creamy will do the trick – are you starting to see a pattern here? Good!
So, you have gently painted your canvas with
soft brushes in exquisite colours that bring out the amazing beauty in your
face. But, you really like using powder, and your skin is dry, and I have told
you powder is a no-no! Ok, don’t go all rebellious on me now! If you have to
use a powder, choose one that is sheer, translucent and hydrating. Apply with a
loose, fat cosmetic brush and don’t overdo it, ok? A good bet is LANCÔME Teint
Miracle Natural Light Creator - Bare Skin Perfection
Translucent Loose Powder.
This gentle
mineral based powder spreads evenly on skin, with an airy sensation, and the
transparent finish compliments all skin tones.
And you are
ready to unleash your masterpiece to the world!
There you go you ravishing beauty! Enjoy
yourself and be good, or kind of good. Have loads of fun now.
