Cleansing & Toning

Cleansing your skin is vital, I personally prefer the WAVE but you can always use the regulars.

CLEANSING: Smooth a little cleanser over your face and neck. Wipe off with a tissue, using gentle, upward movements to tone muscles and help circulation. If you prefer to use a facial wash, ensure you rinse throroughly with clean water.

Toning is very good for your facial muscles and I think you should do this reguarly.

TONING: Soak a cotton wool pad in toner and gently wipe over your face. Avoid downward movements as this will stretch your skin and facial muscles.

Get Lippy

Dry and cracked lips are so not a good look, and covering your pout with lipstick or gloss can dry them out even more. But don't worry, our make-up fave Rimmel has the solution in the form of its new MOISTURE RENEW LIPSTICK, which moisturises and protects your poor pout, as well as giving lips and intense burst of colour. Available in 24 hot shades and packaged in a swanky metallic purple case, it's priced ar only 7.25euro.RESULT!

Get the look, Line It Up!

EYELINER MIGHT BE THE HOTTEST ITEM IN YOUR MAKE-UP BAG THIS SEASON, BUT IT'S PRETTY TRICKY TO APPLY, RIGHT? STEAL A TIP FROM MISCHA BARTON AND MAKE A SIMPLE NLACK KOHL PENCIL AN EASY WAY TO UPDATE YOUR LOOK RIGHT NOW.

1: Start by ditching the heavy foundation and blusher in favour of a tinted moisturiser for glowing, natural looking skin. I like BeneFit YOU REBEL Lite, $30


2: Prep your eyes with a natural shade of shadow before using your kohl pencil to line the upper and lower lashes. Smudge dragging it out into a feline flick at the outer corners. Try Rimmel's Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil, 4.55 euro

3: Balance out your peepers by curling your lashes and coating them with lengthening mascara. Try Bourjois' Liner Effect Mascara at 12 euro, the best part about this lil beauty is that it's enriched with kohl.

4: Finish with a slick of natural gloss or balm on your lips. And we're done!
