Holiday Make-Up!

Following up from great sun protection... Let’s talk about what I know best, make up! I personally wear little or if I’m being totally honest no make up at all on a daily basis, never mind on holiday (my main aim is getting as brown as I possibly can!) but I get asked so many questions about holiday make up… ‘What sort of foundation should I buy? What is the most long lasting in the sun? What has got the best SPF in? Do I put my sun cream on before or after?”

My advice, BB creams. I’ve tried so many BB creams, and this one beats them all. Clarins have combined great coverage, good SPF and suitable for all skin types and offering long-lasting results. This is something you can incorporate into your daily skin care routine or have it as your best friend on holiday.. Perfect for targeting dark, shadowy areas with its “3D radiance” and light-correcting pigments. I’d always advise as little product and coverage as possible in the sun, the more product you put on the more you’ll have to keep touching it up and worrying about it coming off.

My tip for this product is to put some on the back of your hand and use your fingertips to apply as you would a moisturiser in very light layers, starting at the center of the face and working out towards the hairline and jawline.

Top up coverage if needed in certain areas with a bit of concealers... My favourite is studio fix from MAC (Also SPF 35) this gives a really gorgeous dewy finish to the skin so you don’t need to powder, unless you want that matte finish.
