TIP OF THE DAY: A/W 11 CONTOUR
With the trend for winter being dewy, polished skin which looks fresh and glowy, contouring whilst in keeping with the new-season-skin may prove to be slightly difficult. However, have no fear as it's simpler than you imagined. Instead of contouring with your usual powder, contour with a cream foundation such as Mineralize Satin Finish compact cream foundation from MAC in approximately 3/4 shades darker than your skin (in the opposite tone). You will get the perfect contour that's more than trend-friendly.
LOVES AND LOATHES: BOURJOIS DÉLICE DE SOLEIL
As someone who is not the biggest fan of ever having to powder my skin (no really, I hate it... it always sits on top of my skin and just looks powdery, with every one I try), when I find a product like this I have to tell the world because it's beyond amazing. Firstly, shade 12 for fair/medium skin just happens to be the perfect shade for my skin as a foundation, not as a bronzer (My colour is MAC NC50/ Illamasqua Skin Base in shade 15/ Estee Lauder Double Wear Light in Intensity 5.0).
Even though this is intended as a bronzing spray and a similar product to the Bourjois Chocolate bronzing powder, I have used it alone as a foundation and on top of my makeup to set it and it's been perfect. You don't need to powder it and it makes skin feel amazingly dewy even though eventually it dries matte, which I love. My only negative? The sickly sweet smell, it smell identical to the chocolate bronzer just even sweeter being as it's an aerosol. But to be honest, I love this product so much the smell is more than bearable as it provides amazingly long-lasting wear and the best finish I've seen from any bronzer/foundation spray. This is officially my product of the month.

TIP OF THE DAY
The deeper the tone of the lipstick, the whiter the colour of the teeth. For example, a bright pillar box red or a fucshia toned pink will make teeth look like they belong in a colgate advert. Pastelle colours and colours with a noticable blue undertone (a lot of pastelle pink's have this), can make teeth look a lot more yellow than what they naturally are. Go bright, stay white.
TIP OF THE DAY
For the perfect airbrushed foundation and flawless application of your makeup, whatever it's coverage, buff it into the skin with a brush such as the MAC #130 or the Sigma Flat top kabuki brush. Skin will look photo-ready every single time.
