Blend!..Blend!...Blend!.... The only hard line that should be seen on the face is liquid liner; everything else should be seamlessly blended. I use The Body Shop Face and Body Brush (£16.00) and Blusher Brush (£12.00) for dusting, blending and sculpting the face.
What new beauty trends can we expect in the New Year?
Bold lips, especially satin cherry tones. Crimson, rich red, burgundy and deep chocolate brown hues adorned the lips on all the leading runways this year; these are the surprise shades for the New Year going into Spring/Summer 2012.
Peachy-Pink is also going to be big. To achieve ‘peaches-and-cream’ flushed cheeks, mix two shades of peach and pink together, swirl onto a large face and body brush and sweep onto the apple of the cheeks and along cheek bones for a fresh and flirty cheek look.
The femme fatale look is still strong for S/S2012. Black, smoky eyes which look dark and dangerous, smudged, smoked, lined and defined.
For the less adventurous you can also expect earth toned shadows. Taupe, fawn, camel, khaki and copper tones were also the top shades of the season. Sheer to smudged, smoky to dark, these are the hot shades for the new season.
Wear the shades with soft and creamy complexions, naturally flawless with a hint of radiance, bold brows, and a killer nail varnish in a contrasting hue for individuality.
You've worked with some big celebrities, who would you say has the best skin or face to work with?
My favourite supermodels who have amazing faces and skin to work on are, Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Yasmin LeBon and Eva Herzigova. My all-time favourite celebrity faces would be Britney Spears, Clemence Peosy and Cameron Diaz. They all have beautiful, open features - full lips, high cheekbones and large open eyes - perfect for makeup artistry.
