Lisa Eldridge
Celebrity make up artist Lisa Eldridge tells us how to get fabulous foundation and achieve the perfect make up base
Know Your Face:"Get to know your own face and make sure you choose a colour that best suits the overall tone of your skin on both your neck and face."
Be Natural:"For a great day time look, use a sheer foundation which will appear fresh and natural rather than looking like your face is covered by a mask. One of my favourite products is Prestige Cream to Powder Foundation which offers a range suitable for all skin types and is available exclusively at Boots."
Less Is More:"Remember your foundation is to even out the skin, NOT to cover spots and blemishes – for this you need a good concealer.Less is more for a seamless look when it comes to foundation."
Use Concealer Correctly: "For more prominent blemishes you need a concealer, not a light reflecting pen. Make sure your concealer is the same colour as your skin – you may need to mix two products if you’re not lucky enough to find the perfect shade for you."
Add Some Flushed Cheeks: "Cream blushers are great for dry skin and give instant luminosity and dewiness. Dot your cream blush over the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards."
Powder Perfection: "Finish off your base with a dusting of powder for perfect polished."
