No Fuss Fabulous for 2011
&
Spring is well and truly in the air so its time to get savvy, sort out that make-up bag and unleash your inner gorgeousness…
So what’s hot? Be sure to get your colour kicks with bright shadows & punchy lip colours this spring Orange, coral and striking pinks take centre stage and look fab on corrected and perfected skin. Deep Blues, rich greens, sultry purples & canary yellows boldly flatter the eyes… be sure to dramatize with lashings of mascara and order a fruity cocktail to complete the look! On the flip side, ‘naked’ complexions and innocent eyes stormed the catwalk at London fashion week setting the trend for 2011. Less is so much more this season. ‘Skin perfecting’ is the way to go… full, thick, skin swamping foundation is a big fat NONO. Delicately correct and conceal flaws, boost your natural radiance and amplify your assets.
Multi-tasking make-up? YES PLEASE! Multitasking is done daily as busy schedules dominate our agenda. So if we can do it surly our make-up can?! Bulging make-up bags and leaky foundation bottles become a thing of the past with my 5-multitasking make-up bag saviors. These no fuss tools make daytime titivating a breeze and shave minutes of the morning routine…that’s more time for tea and toast…HURRAH!

Beth Alderson, Make-up Artist to the stars dishes the dirt for spring/summer & lightens your cosmetic load.
1. Foundation & concealer in one wee stick! Get colour matched and invest in a ‘touchup’ stick. This solid form of foundation is fab for skin perfecting throughout the day, no mess, no fuss. Tip! Why not transform your existing liquid foundation to an illuminating skin enhancer? Check out ‘Sasynsavy’, fresh from the Australian outback, their range of skincare is 100% natural, great for even the most sensitive of skins. Mix a pea sized amount of ‘Silk Shimmer Lotion’ with your foundation for the ultimate sun kissed glow. 2. Lip and cheek tints I love cream blushers & tints, they are delightfully soft and dewy on the skin and double up as a lippy! Check out BECCA’s ‘Beach tint’ for a punch of soft coral, no brushes, and no faffing. Dab on the lips, blend on the cheeks and go… 3. ‘POOF POOF’ A healthy glow is a sure thing but with the weather warming up and shiny ‘T’ zone can get a little OTT. By all means powder but don’t OD. Powder is a moisture sucker and you may be ampilfying fine lines by dehydrating the skin. Opt for High Definition powders. White, translucent and ultra fine for a flawless, undetectable finish. MAC ‘prep & prime’ is a makeup bag must have this summer! 4. Brown/black Eye liner pencil. This little pencil can double up as a brow tinter. Sweep the brows and brush through with a disposable mascara wand. Brows
are BIG this season so keep them thick, defined and fabulous. Also vamp up the eyes by lining the waterline of the eye, smoke and smudge out with your fingers. 5. Pucker up! Keep those lips supple and kissable with Aussie PAWPAW ointment & BECCA’S lip plumping moisture gloss. It’s always a good idea to have a skin savior for chapping and dryness. It’s your first aider for your face. Why not mix it with your lip and cheek tint to create a sheer colour gloss? So there, your make-up bag ‘de-bulged’ and routine re-mastered. Desk to dinner in minutes! Remember there are no rules. Simply options. Make your life easier and check out multipurpose products, less luggage, less stress, that’s a win win!
