• Start by tweezing away stray eyebrow hairs to follow the natural shape of the eye.
• After tweezing, brush hairs up with the spoolie end of the eyebrow brush. Then, using your ring finger, pull up gently at the highest point of the brow.
• Now, gently shade colour into the brow with the slanted end of the brush. Use the lighter colour shade to outline the brow, and the darker shade to fill in.
• Set stray hairs in place by applying a touch of wax through brows with the spoolie end of the brush.
• Step back, look in the mirror. Absolutely perfect!

Hi-Def Hydrating Mineral Perfecting Powder

I absolutely love it! I’ve been using it on photo shoots, catwalks and on every make-up I have done since it was released by Youngblood.

The sheer powder expertly conceals imperfection, refines pores and naturally absorbs excess oil. It’s like magic the way it controls shine on the skin. It contains extracts of licorice to help calm any redness. This powder will make your skin smooth and look air-brushed.

Apply to your skin after your foundation but before bronzer or blusher. Go on…. Try it!

Hi Paula,
Some ladies get put off wearing eye make-up when they wear glasses, but usually it looks better if eye make-up is worn.

First of all, are you long or short sighted? If you are long sighted then your eye will appear larger, so keep the shadow colours soft and matte. Try to use taupe, soft pale shell pinks, brown, and deep plums.

If you are short sighted your eyes will appear smaller. You will need to wear light, slightly more shimmery shadows, plus eyeliners will really help define the shape of your eyes. Line only half way along the top lashes and 1/4 of the way along the base of the lower lashes. Try curling your eyelashes after applying mascara. This works wonders for opening up your eyes and making your eyelashes look fabulous!

It’s a great way of adapting your lip glosses to suit your make-up without buying lots of different colours!
