1. Prime it

Warm and humid weather will require a good primer.  It’s like a paint primer on old weather boards that sit in the sun. The wrong paint won’t stick.

2. Below the base

This means skincare. And right now the season is dictating the skincare you need.  Winter skincare products become a little too heavy in the spring.  Obviously more moisture is a good starting point but exactly how much more is something you may like to discuss with us.  Never apply makeup to dirty skin. Make sure you’re using a PH balanced skin care solution so that the make up can be applied effortlessly. 

Skincare is vitally important which leads me to my next top tip.

3. Clean out the cupboard!

Old expired product can have mould and bacteria which have health implications as well as impacting on how it looks.

4. On Powders

Choose the right one. Matt ones for oiler skin and shine/ glossy ones for dryer skin types. Again talk to us.

5. Colour

Autumn and winter colours can be richer while spring and summer is about brightness.  In fact right now I recommend a bit of pop. 

*Bonus tip

My final tip is to use a great SPF. You’ll need it to save your skin so that you look better for longer AND it needs to be refined so that it sits well as a base under your makeup.
