How to get the natural look in only 10 minutes
|
|
|
1) Use a mineral primer that won’t clog pores to make your makeup last all day – essential for mums on the go.
2) Next step is to apply a mineral base foundation which gives SPF and absorbs oil; the Sheer Cover travel brush is genius! Use quick swirling motions starting at the nose and moving outwards toward the jaw.
3) Use a creamy concealer where needed tapping with your ring finger.
4) Apply mascara on top & bottom lashes; good mascara means you can go without eyeshadow.
5) Swipe on a bright cheery shade of lipgloss
6) Apply some pinky blusher on the apples of the cheeks; it’s essential to have a glow with minimal makeup.

How to cover under-eye bags
|
|
1) Use two shades for puffiness; a slightly darker shade for the puffy area, and a lighter shade of concealer in the shadow area. The Sheer Cover concealer is ideal for this as it comes with two tones.
2) Tap using your finger to blend – use your ring finger as it has the lightest touch. Your eye area is 40% thinner skin to it’s important to be gentle.
3) Don’t forget to apply concealer on the eyelid which is often forgotten so the entire eye area is the same colour.
4) Use powder over-top if you have oily eyes to make sure the concealer lasts all day. A mineral powder will protect the delicate eye area from sun damage.

For mums on the go, what are the best day-to-night makeup tips?
|
 |
1) Update your lip for quick & easy updates. Bright fuscia and orange are the best colours for this season and we saw them on all the LFW runways. A natural gloss is normally best for day while a bright statement lip can dress up any outfit.
2) A subtle shimmer under the cheekbones takes seconds to swipe on, but really helps to emphasize your bone structure.
3) My must-have would have to be a multi-purpose lip/eye/cheek palette like the Sheer Cover® ones!

What is a great gift to help any woman feel beautiful?
|
|
1) A set of palettes with a variety of lip colours, will suit all skintones and can easily fit into a handbag.
2) Mums tend to hoarde makeup – give her a reason to ditch the old makeup bag and brushes by giving her a beautiful new makeup kit - anything that can be wiped down is great. The Sheer Cover makeup bag is great as it zips up and is a chic patent.
3) Good brushes can make all the difference to a makeup look and are quite expensive if bought individually so try to buy as part of a set.

| What trends will work well for everyday women? |
 |
1) Colour! Bold stripes of colour were on the runway – try wearing bold eyeshadow without blending for an on-trend look. It’s a more architectural look.
2) Block tones on the lips. Strong and angular looks that mirror colour blocking in fashion.
3) Have fun! The gold-leaf seen on Vivienne Westwood can carry through in a smaller way to gold tones etc.
