MAKE UP – LESSON ONE Base PRIMER Wonder how the girls look so flawless and radiant? Primer! It’s a bit like undercoat for foundation. I recommend the Bourjois Embellis range – its good quality, and relatively cheap at about £7. FOUNDATION The same colour as your tan please! Put on the tan, do a test patch on your arm to the depth of colour you are going for the competition and buy a foundation that matches this. Kolor by superdrug do some very good darker (and the slightly orange of fake tan) foundations for those on a small budget, No 7 and the likes of Estee Lauder and Elizabeth Ardern foundations for those with a bit more to spend. Powder either in a matching colour (max factor crème puff is good) or translucent. If you prefer you can use a bronzing powder to increase the depth of colour. Don’t forget to go right up to your hairline (and in your parting if you have one) and around your ears (especially behind), down to your tan line and blend like mad. Some people will tan their faces, others don’t like to. It’s personal choice really and depends on whether you can cope with people staring at your face and asking where you went on holiday despite the fact they saw you the day before. However, if you are not going to fake tan your face make sure you choose a heavier foundation, otherwise your skin can end up looking too pale and pasty against the strong eyes and lips.
