Ruby Hammer, Make-up Artist and one half of Ruby & MillieApply your lipstick with a square-headed lip brush. Once you have applied your first layer take a tissue and separate the ‘plys’. Use one thin ply and blot the lip colour. Dust loose powder over the tissue, remove the tissue and re-apply. Do this up to three times for a luscious long-lasting lip colour. Finally use your lipliner to frame the lip colour and stop it bleeding.

Hair is incredibly porous so a great carrier for fragrance. Don’t spray your perfume directly onto your hair, however, as the alcohol can damage it.”Lyn Harris, founder of perfume house Miller Harris
