Doublewear Light Foundation £xx (www.esteelauder.co.uk)
Intense Volume and Sensational Curl Mascara £21.50 Le Crayon Khol in Blanc £16 (Stockists 020 7493 3836) ‘Eyes are the most important aspect of make-up. I like to use MAC Paint Pot in Painterly, as it’s a really nude natural shade so not only does it prime the eye but it also intensifies any other shadow on top. Finish with MAC Black Track Fluidline gel liner and complete with any Chanel mascara, they are all great.’ -Sandra Cormack, SC Make-up Artistry
Nouveau Lashes Semi-Permanent Eyelash Extensions from £60 (Available at Zen Lifestyle Salons, www.zen-lifestyle.com, 0131 226 6777 / 0131 477 3535) Much more subtle and realistic than false lashes, these extensions last two to three months with maintenance required every two to three weeks. ‘Every girl looks prettier, younger, healthier and sexier with longer lashes. Full, long lashes really emphasise the eyes and make them look bigger. A really feminine, natural look can be achieved with modern eyelash extension systems.’ -Fiona Fowley, Zen Lifestyle, Edinburgh
‘One product I really do love is Blinc Mascara – it forms tube around each lash and never smudges. Begin with white eyeliner on the inner rim of the lower eyelids to extend the whites of the eyes and make them look bigger. Also apply a light foundation across the eyelid to make your eye make-up last longer.’ -Helen Graham, About Face, Glasgow
