When it comes to looking glamorous through this year’s festivities, preparation is the key for Christmas Day beauty.
To help you avoid suffering sticky lippy, sliding eye-liner and melting foundation, we have called our resident beauty-experts to pull together a list of tips to help you beat the heat this year.
Primer: For increasing the staying power of your makeup, applying a primer first will be your secret weapon. Not only will it assist to keep your makeup set throughout the day, but it also helps by filling in fine lines for a more youthful complexion – love it!
Lighten your look: To achieve a fresh, beautiful summer look, the key is less is more. Pass on the heavy-duty liquid foundation or stick and opt for a lighter tinted moisturiser or mineral powder. Bonus points for products that come with SPF protection!
Smudge-proof your lashes: To avoid the drip-effect, be sure to go for waterproof mascara and eyeliner with a minimalist application.
Arm yourself with blotting sheets: Rather than combatting excess oil with powder, opt for oil-blotting paper sheets. This will prevent the ‘caked-on’ look of excess powder build up for a more natural finish.
Shade your skin: Keep your cool and minimise sweating and dehydration by staying sun-smart. If you are out in direct sunlight, be sure to wear a chic hat and glasses.
