Mind, Body & Heart: All you need to know about...

Prep

Prepping your skin is always an important step before applying makeup – you want to start with a clean dry face, and then gently massage in a moisturiser. Next, apply an illuminating primer, and dab a bit of lip balm on your lips.

Foundation

Apply a lightweight foundation on your face using a foundation brush. Mist your beauty sponge with a setting spray and gently blend the foundation in to give yourself that second skin-like finish. Next, tap a creamy concealer into any areas that need coverage. Blend again.

Brows have it
To get perfectly-defined brows; use a brow pencil to fill in any bald spots. Push the hairs upwards and set the brows with a clear brow gel. Gently heat an eyelash curler under a blow dryer for 10 seconds, and then use it to curl your lashes. This will give your curl a better hold. Use a liquid liner to draw a thin wing across your lid. Finish with multiple coats of a lengthening mascara.

Highlight
Using your fingers, apply a liquid highlighter on your cheekbones, and tap it into your skin. Then, sweep on powder highlighter over it using a large fluffy brush. For a well-defined pout, start by lining your lips with a red lip pencil. Ensure the tip is sharp. Fill in with a creamy red hue. Dab a tissue on your lips to absorb any excess, then add a bit of gloss.
Finally, spritz on a setting spray to ensure your makeup stays put.
