'Always twirl strip lashes around a pencil or something similar to break the spine as they have been in packet so long, if you don’t do this they can ping off. Also always ensure you wait for the glue to go tacky on the lashes before you apply, this will give them better grip.'
Ariane Poole, Make-up Artist

‘For dramatic lips opt for a depth-defying look. Choose a darker and jewel toned lipstick like Illamasqua’s Disciple, £15, a deep navy shade and layer a deep plum lip gloss on top. Team this with a perfect complexion and groomed brows for a bold yet sculpted look’
David Horne, Illamasqua Director of Product Development & School of Make Up Art

‘For tired, day-old make-up, uneven foundation or unblended blusher, simply take a damp tissue or wet wipe and press firmly against the face and repeat a few times. This will lift and correct any excess or uneven make-up. Smooth your hands over the area afterwards in small circular motions to soften and blend the lines’.

‘Lack of sleep can result in skin looking dull and lacklustre. Look for foundations containing optical blurrers, high-tech light reflective particles that impart the skin with a soft glow and detract from minor imperfections and blemishes’.
