Read Sally's Top Tips...

Top Tip 1 - Base: 

> You can mix the Continuous Cover Foundation with Light Look Beauty Balm for the perfect texture and coverage

> You can also mix 2 different shades of Continuous Cover Foundation for the perfect shade

> You don't need to just use one shade of Cover To Cover Concealer - try using a lighter shade under your eyes to brighten dark circles and a darker shade to cover age spots and blemishes elsewhere on your face

 

Top Tip 2 - Eyes:

> Have fun with the No Shimmer Eye Shades - mix the colours together with your brush, or apply one shade over the other directly on your lid to create the perfect shade for you 

> Eye Shade too dark? No fear! Add a sweep of Cream Eye Shade over the top to lighten the look

> Eyeliners can also be mixed and matched. Apply a shade like Taupe or Soft Grey and then enhance your eyes by adding a line of Navy or Forest Green

 

Top Tip 3 - Blush:

> Our Blushers are perfect for blending. You may want a little more colour, so once you have applied a lighter shade like Peach Cream you can add a sweep of Desert Rose over the top. Mixing to get the perfect shade for you and your skin tone!

 

Top Tip 4 - Lips:

> You don't need to pick a Lip Liner that is a perfect shade match to your Lipstick. Got a bright Lustrous Colour Lipstick, but want it to appear softer? Wear a lighter Lip Liner shade like Soft Fig under a lipstick shade like Fuschsia to tone it down

> And you can change the look of your Lipstick even further with a final sweep of our Lip Shine

 

Remember that less is often more; start with a small amount of product and gradually intensify the color as needed. Mixing makeup is an art, so embrace experimentation and practice - and have fun!
