Audrey’s Top Six Essentials
Take a moment and get it right – pick your perfect shades, then clear and freshen your scalp and summer skin
1. SOFT TOUCH Like everything, applying make-up is far easier when you have the right equipment. Look Good Feel Better Foundation Brush Soft Touch for Sensitive Skin £9.99, LOOKFANTASTIC.COM gives a flawless finish and is gentle on skin. Dot foundation down the centre of your face and spread outwards. 2. PREMIUM BUY… …Budget price. Aldi’s highper forming Lacura Cellsation skincare is back with a great addition, Cellsation Serum £6.99, Aldi. Use the light lotion serum daily after cleansing to boost cell renewal, smooth wrinkles and help elasticity. Follow with the day and night creams (£6.99 each). 3. PERFECT SKIN Or the illusion of it at least, with Laura Geller Filter First Luminous Foundation £30, Debenhams. The liquid formula feels velvety but light and is easy to blend so you can choose light or medium coverage. The secret to the radiant finish is finely crushed pearls, which diffuse light and blur lines. In 12 shades.
4. FRESH START If your self-tan looks patchy and tired, remove it easily with Cocoa Brown Fresh Start Tan Eraser £9.99, Boots. The frothy mousse has a pleasant smell and is quick to use. Apply to dry skin, leave for 5 minutes, shower off in warm water. Works best with an exfoliating mitt on areas like knees and ankles. 5. COLOUR SENSATION Treat yourself to a luscious new lip colour at a great price. Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick £6.99, Boots, comes in a creamy formula, mix of finishes and 48 shades. My favourites include sweet pink Nocturnal Rose in a powder matte finish and satin finish Peach Poppy. Have fun finding yours! 6. SCALP RESCUE Like our faces, our scalps benefit from gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin and product build-up, which can form scales around the hair root preventing healthy growth. Try Oblepikha Scalp Scrub, £5.75 NATURASIBERICA.CO.UK; apply to a damp scalp, massage lightly, leave for 3 minutes then shampoo as normal.
