The problem: I overplucked my eyebrows when I was younger and they never grew back!

The solution:

A really common issue amongst a lot of us which is very easily fixed to cheat a perfectly shaped brow. You can lightly fill in sparse areas with delilah Brow Line which will help to imitate real hair strokes. Follow the shape of your brow to guide you and gradually thicken. Use instead of or alongside delilah Brow Shape too to temporarily tint the hairs. Brush both against and with the direction of hair growth to coat both sides of the hair for maximum results.

The problem: My make-up slides off whenever I have to wear a face mask

The solution:

Invest in a great setting powder like delilah Pure Touch to really lock your make-up in place. Always ensure that you are ‘pressing’ the powder into your skin with delilah Large Powder Brush as opposed to quickly sweeping it over the complexion to really get the most effectiveness out of your powder. Of course, focus your attention on the lower half of your face too for obvious reasons right now. Avoid moving and taking the face mask repeatedly off and on if this is possible for you.

 

 

 

 

The problem: I want to make my sparse & short eyelashes longer and fuller

The solution:

A lot of people rely on mascara for this, which is fine, but wouldn’t it be nice to create naturally fluttery lashes that mascara could then simply enhance? Of course, you do! This is where Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner comes in. Apply to the root of your lashes every evening – the hardest part is the initial 6 to 8 weeks wait – but once you start to notice the results you will be blown away like I was. Complete the look with a pair of eyelash curlers and you have the recipe for amazing eyelashes, every day.     

 

 

 

 

 

 

The problem: I don’t feel like I suit eye make up

The solution:

Often I find some clients tell me that either eye makeup doesn’t suit them at all or maybe they feel that everything – especially mascara – seems to only come in a black shade and it looks too harsh against their complexion. Although black definitely gives the best definition and makes eyes ‘pop’ the most, a great alternative that I like to recommend is delilah Brow Shape on the lashes instead. I love this for no-makeup days. It comes in 2 brown shades and it offers a softer, more natural look as opposed to other options and of course, it doubles up to be used on brows too!

 

 

 

 

 

The problem: There seems to be nothing that covers my redness

The solution:

Although, ultimately this a skincare issue which I would strongly recommend booking a consultation and speaking to one of our qualified advisors about, there are most definitely short term, immediate solutions to try too. First of all, try to avoid using your foundation as a concealer. Use your foundation to simply even out your skin tone and then use Colorescience Mineral Corrector Palette with Priori Concealer Brush to correct directly where needed over the top. This will prevent a build-up of the product as well.

 

 

 

 

The problem: I’m new to make-up and have no idea where to start

The solution:

I would recommend keeping things simple, to begin with, and then gradually add to your routine (if you want to) over time. Book a free consultation if needed where you can ask any questions at all but also talk you through makeup application, tips and how to get the most out of your products. Start with something sheer for your base like Jane Iredale Liquid A Minerals – the light reflecting properties makes it look just like your skin but better. Add a little Brow Shape, Peaches & Cream and Lip Shine- Clear and you’re good to go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The problem: I want to make my thin lips appear fuller

The solution: This is very easily solved! However, for best results, it is best achieved with two products. To begin with, trace around your natural lip shape with delilah Lip Line and you can lightly draw slightly over the line if you wish. As we age our lip line can fade causing lips to look thinner in appearance.

Next, apply Hydropeptide Perfecting Lip Gloss over the top. This will reflect the light and make lips appear fuller. You might also feel a slight tingle upon applying which means the formula is working!
