Edited by Beauty Expert Emma-Charlotte Bangay Image courtesy of Almay of courtesy Image MAKEUP Makeup shouldn’t require too much in-depth instruction. The key to the best makeup looks is to choose quality products that are a breeze to use. Adopting makeup tips and routines that are simple – but look sophisticated – is the secret to making magic when your makeup bag and morning are butting heads. So save the big statement looks for the weekend, and go with flattering foundations and tried-and-true textures for everyday wear. And remember, there is no need to overhaul your entire kit as trends come and go. Take cues, but not commands, from trends, and always base your buys around quality brands.

I focus more on playing with my eye makeup, I’ve always enjoyed it,” says the Revlon brand ambassador. “A strong eye and a strong lip is hard for my face… I have a really strong jaw. So for me, I just have to be cognizant of the way that it transforms my face.” Megan Gale’s Eyes “When I make up Megan Gale, I look to simply accentuate her features,” explains Elsa Morgan, L’Oreal Paris Makeup Director. 2 For eyes, it’s about upping the ante on lashes and liner, she adds. “I always give Megan’s lashes a good curl, before layering a few coats of my favourite mascara. And a perfect, slim, black liner pen is a must for extending and slightly lifting the lash line.” The final step is a beautiful brow, she adds. “This really brings out Megan’s stunning bone structure, so I lengthen and define the brows, and use the wax tip of the pencil to set the shape for the long haul.” Photo by PR Photos PR by Photo Taylor Swift’s Smokey Eye For Clinique Global Colour Artist, Jenna Menard - who has worked with Taylor Swift - the best modernisation of the classic 3 smoky eye is done with bronzes. A big fan of layering colour, Jenna favours blending neutral shades in bronze as a base, and layering, so the wearer can play around and make the look their own. Kate Middleton’s Bridal Beauty D.I.Y has never looked better than with Kate Middleton’s makeup for her 2011 wedding. Taking tips in preparation for 4 the big day, from beauty guru, Arabella Preston, she stuck with what suits her best. Today, the iconic, thickly lined eyes, perfectly groomed brows, and soft taupe shadow (rumoured to be largely baring the Bobbi Brown moniker!) show she knows what suits her, and she’s sticking to it! Kylie Minogue’s Lashes When it comes to applying false lashes, “Kylie Minogue likes a natural look,” reveals celebrity hair and makeup artist, 5 Helen Dowsley. “Placing the longest lash in the middle of the eye will give the illusion that your eye is more open and rounder,” she explains. “It’s a very pretty look that’s very in now.” Keep two natural lashes out at the corner, she adds, so it won’t drop the eye, or make you look tired or sad.” Photos by PR Photos PR by Photos Lips Cara Delevigne’s Long Lasting Lip Colour 6 Lloyd Simmonds, Creative Director Makeup YSL, suggests for model Cara Delevingne’s long-lasting lip colour, you should “apply lipstick with a brush, for a super clean shape, then blot gently with a tissue, and for extra staying power, brush with translucent face powder to set, and then re-apply a little lipstick in the centre of the lips, to re-hydrate and concentrate the colour.” Image courtesy of Yves Saint Laurent Beaute Laurent Saint Yves of courtesy Image Elle Macpherson’s Full Lip Tip Oralie Maylin, Laura Mercier Makeup Artist and Brand Ambassador – who works with Elle Macpherson and Jade 7 Jagger – swears by using brightening powder across the eyelid, before applying eye shadow, to reduce redness and create a beautiful soft veil underneath shadow. In addition, she says a brightening pen is great after you have applied your lipstick, to pop a little onto the cupid’s bow of the lip. “A great finishing touch to brighten the lip area and make them look fuller.” Photo by PR Photos Cheeks Illuminate like Doutzen Kroes “The best and the only place skin illuminator should be applied is on top of your cheekbones, working up and around your 8 temples, blending it in to your hairline, and fading out to nothing,” advises makeup artist, Jodie Boland, who has worked with Naomi Watts, Kirsten Wiig, and Doutzen Kroes. Nicole Trunfio’s Contour Contour is king when it comes to creating the perfect canvas. For Nicole Triunfo, The Napoleon Creative Team used soft 9 powder foundation to warm the face, applied to the hairline, under the cheekbones, and through the socket of the eye. A matte peach blush then accentuated her golden skin tone, providing a natural flush. Shanina Shaik’s Cheeky Tint Cheek tints are favoured by Victoria’s Secret model, Shanina Shaik, says her makeup artist, Elsa Morgan, L’Oreal 10 Paris Makeup Director. “When working with Shanina, I love to enhance her already gorgeous skin, by simply blending a sheer foundation, to even out the complexion,” she says. “Shanina’s cheeks look amazing with blush, but to keep the skin looking as natural as possible, I skip the powder blushes.” Designed to mimic the way your cheeks glow when flushed, the most flattering shades to safely stick to are pinks and plums.

It’s easier to clean up stray shadow from clean skin, and you don’t have to redo your foundation if you make a mis- take,” he suggests. Intensify any eye shadow by layering it over a creamy pencil, just like model Cara Delevingne. Image courtesy of Yves Saint Laurent Beaute Clean and Clear like Gwyneth Makeup artist Liz Kelsh - who has worked with Gwyneth Paltrow for Max Factor - explains that as you age, your skin’s 12 renewal process slows down dramatically, making pores appear larger. Manage this with regular exfoliation, and a foundation that goes on creamy and buildable. “That way you can add more coverage where needed, keeping lighter coverage on areas that are clear.” Dita von Teese’s Dermatologist Rule 13 Dita Von Teese’s approach to her skin proves as sharp as her image. “It doesn’t really matter which moisturiser you use; there are no miracles in jars,” the fan of Eminence and Trilogy skincare brands has said. “Use the cream with a texture and scent you like, and also steer clear of dermatologists that have their own skincare lines...they try to push,” she says. She observes that finding a dermatologist that’s devoted to your skin health, rather than how many sales they can make, is the best option. Tina Arena’s Even Complexion Tina Arena’s makeup artist, Shella Martin, opts for French products on the Australian-born, Parisian-based icon. “Tina 14 discovered Bioderma while she was living in Paris, and has used it ever since,” she says, adding that she also uses Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse on her shoulders, décolletage, and legs, for an amazing glow, amplifying all her golden undertones. “It’s the perfect partner to complement Tina’s European skin, without leaving it saturated and heavy. Tina Arena photographed by Gina Milicia Jennifer Hawkins’ Legendary Tan 15 “I’d say a tan that doesn’t streak, and leaves a beautiful chocolate colour!” says Jbronze Founder Jennifer Hawkins, of her top beauty tip. The most important element of a perfect tan is hy- dration, she says. “If your tan hydrates your skin, it’ll last longer, and you’ll get that ‘healthy glow’ we all crave.” Rashida Jones’ Makeup Canvas 16 “The best canvas for makeup starts with great skincare,” says makeup artist, Kathy Jeung, who worked on actress Rashida Jones for the 2014 Met Gala. “I prepped Rashida’s face with amazing Kiehl’s products to assist in makeup application and provide a long-lasting wear, with a glow and finish that you can only get with good skin preparation!” Image courtesy of JBronze Brows Naomi Campbell’s Sculpted Brow “My superstar clients, like Naomi Campbell, have the luxury of keeping their brows regularly polished by professionals,” says 17 Australian brow couturist, Amy Jean Linnehan.
