For those of us who aren't blessed with makeup artists, plastic surgeons and airbrushers on tap....here are the best little tips and tricks for masking those little imperfections and maximising your favourite features.
Follow these easy steps to get you looking celebrity gorgeous in no time.
1.Want lips to appear fuller? Wear light coloured lip colours and pop a dab of irridescant gloss of highlighter on the middle of your top lip to create a perfect pout.
2.For flawless skin... mix tinted moisturiser with a small amount of highlighter and blend into skin then spot apply a creamy matt concealer with a small stiff bristled brush for a precision finish.
3.To make eyes ...
Bigger- only line the outer third of the upper and lower lashlines, use shimmery, lighter colour shadows and curls those lashes ladies.
Smaller - Line the upper and lower lashes with black liner and use dark brown and charcoal shadows.
4.For a St Tropez worthy glow...mix a little bit of your fake tan with your facial moisturiser before bed time and wake up looking like you just got back from the French Riviera.
5.For a flirty just been kissed flush- apply a pop of rose coloured blush to the high apples of cheeks and then blend a gold highlighter along the tops of cheek bones. Look at you glow!
6.To make your nose positively Giselle-esqe...Blend bronzer or brown blush down the sides and brush a pearl hued highlighter or eyeshadow down the bridge. Stop short of the tip of your nose otherwise it'll look less sparkle-tacular and more like you are in the midst of an oil slick.
7.For baby soft skin mix a table spoon of baking soda with your normal cleanser or scrub...it'll gently cleanse away dirt and dead skin cells and is friendly on your face and your funds!
8.To fake ten hours sleep..line the inner rim of eyes with a white or pale yellow eye pencil and curl lashes before applying mascara. Finish off with pop of pink blush and a dab of clear gloss and you'll be left looking fresh as a daisy.
9.Want freshly washed hair on the third day?... Grab a dry shampoo from your local chemist (or talcum powder for blondes), clip up the top layer of your hair and then liberally shake or spray along your part. Unclip the top layer and brush hair thoroughly before running a little shine serum through the ends. A little spritz of your fave EDP won't go amiss either!
