Professional make-up tips from the masters
Ruby and Millie share their make-up secrets

Tricks of the trade from top make-up artists

Lucy Halperin, head make-up artist, Revlon
‘Never pump mascara – this generates air and dries the mascara out.
If it’s hot, keep all your eyeliners and lipliners in the fridge. But normally make-up should be kept at room temperature.
If you don’t have an eyelash curler, apply your mascara as usual and while it’s still wet, using your pinky finger push up the lash and hold for five seconds, and voila, instant curl.’

Ruby Hammer, Ruby and Millie

‘Wear nude lipliner in the inside of your eyes to make them look whiter, trust me, it works.
For the ultimate sexy pout, apply red lipstick to the middle of your bottom lip – it gives the impression you are slightly flushed – very sexy!’

Millie Kendall, Ruby and Millie
‘I always apply my foundation before getting into the bath, as the steam helps it to settle. This technique makes the finished look incredibly natural.
Never put foundation down the centre of the face as pores tend to be larger and foundation sinks in.’

Bobbi Brown, Bobbi Brown make-up

‘For super sheer foundation apply your moisturiser with a make-up sponge and then use the same sponge to smooth on your foundation.
The trick to bleed-proof lipstick is to line the lips after applying your lip colour.
If you are in-between colouring appointments at your hairdresser and you have some greys to cover up, brush on an eyeshadow in a similar shade to your hair.’

James Kaliardos, international make-up artist, L’Oreal Paris
‘Apply foundation drop by drop, starting with problem areas, like dark circles and discolourations. If you use your fingers, tap, don’t rub, to get true coverage.
If applying bronzer, use it like a contour first – under cheeks, on temples, and then hit the front of the face, just like the sun does.’

Alan Pan, Estee Lauder, international make-up artist

‘An illuminating concealer should be every woman’s best friend. It’s fantastic for minimising red skin, and for highlighting cheek and brow bones. Also, if you add a little to the cupid bow of the mouth it will give your pout a really full appearance.’
