The idea is to give you quick and simple wins that will make a difference.

1. Always cleanse with a liquid at the beginning and end of the day. Not just because of the hygiene reasons to remove dirt and bacteria but so that make-up will also sit smoother the cleaner your skin.

The reason I recommend a liquid over other cleansers is because it’s the most effective way to remove everything. Other types of cleansers can leave traces or oils or residues (don’t panic if you have a different kind of cleanser that you love you can continue to use it but just use a liquid cleanser before you apply make-up)

2. Clean your brushes regularly. So, these amazing tools that fix up your make-up everyday are generally the most neglected product in your make-up bag. The idea of using a brush is so that the product will sit smoother and where it needs to be.

This isn’t going to happen if all the fibres are stuck together or there is excess product on them daily. Schedule a time to wash them once every four to six weeks.

Take a small pump of anti-bacterial handwash, wet the nib of the brush (hold in a downward position in the water stream) and circle the tip into the anti-bacterial wash until it creates soapy suds rinse and repeat until the water runs clear.

3. Hydrate skin. Because of the personal nature of skin everyone will be unique with their needs.

However, if you have a huge skin routine or a non-existent one applying a moisturiser daily will lead to more supple skin which

allows a smoother application of make-up and a more flawless finish.
