Flawless Base

Help Choosing a Primer

Bridge the gap between your skincare and makeup routines by using a primer. Primers don’t just make your makeup last all day. These wonder products can also mattify, reduce pore size, correct discolourations, and more. ‘Ultimate Guide to Primer’ helps you find the perfect primer for your lifestyle and skin type, so you too can reap the benefits.

Picking the Best Concealer for Dark Circles & Blemishes

‘Ultimate Guide to Concealer’ is a must-read if you suffer from dark circles, have an uneven skin tone, or just want to brighten your complexion. Start off by reading ‘How to Choose the Right Shade of Concealer’ to ensure the perfect colour match.

Then move to ‘Should I Apply Concealer Before or After Foundation?’ for our top application tips. Whether you want to learn more about using colour-correcting concealers or covering eye wrinkles, here we have everything you need to know to achieve flawless skin.

If dark under-eye circles are your major skin gripe, go one step further and read ‘Ultimate Guide to Dark Circle Concealers’. Here, we talk about not only our favourite concealers but also how correctors work, setting your concealer, and other clever tips to combat dark circles and make your eyes look wide awake.

Blush, bronzer, highlight & contour: which cheek product do I need? 

Choosing a blush & bronzer for your skin tone

There's no better way to add colour to your face than by using a blusher. Whilst your base makeup may leave you with a flawless complexion, blusher brings back some natural warmth, so your skin actually looks like skin!

With a whole range of blush colours and finishes available, choosing a product can be a little daunting. If you want to know which shades suit your complexion, which formula is best for your skin type, and how best to apply your blush, head over to ‘Ultimate Guide to Blush’.

If radiant skin is what you’re after, look no further than ‘Ultimate Guide to Bronzer’. Bronzer gives you that desirable sun-kissed glow, so get used to being asked how your holiday was!

We answer all your applications questions in ‘Where on My Face Should I Put Bronzer?’ and ‘What Brushes Should I Use When Applying Bronzer?’. We also offer our top shade and finish recommendations for every complexion colour and skin type.

 Contour & Highlight
