make-up MASTER

I'M LUCKY TO HAVE INTERVIEWED NAPOLEON PERDIS, Celebrity Makeup Artist and founder of Napoleon Perdis, several times for different stories! Here's his insider tips on how to enhance your best features…
FACE: Avoid applying foundation to the forehead as coverage in this area is usually not essential and it will stop ageing of the skin and keep your fringe and hair roots from getting oily.
EYES: If your eyes are your best feature, enhance them by pumping up the volume with your mascara. You can apply three coats to get maximum effect as there is no clumping! If you want extra glam, add a few individual lashes to the outer corners of the eyes. An easy method to apply individual lashes is using tweezers to dip the ends of the lashes in adhesive, and then carefully applying them to the lashline. Wait a few minutes for the adhesive to dry. This will give you the most "fluttery" effect ever!
CHEEKBONES: Enhancing your cheekbones is the key to achieving a glam look. It instantly "lifts" the complexion. Lightly contour under your cheekbones with a bronze blush and then pat a touch gold blush on top of your cheekbones. This not only looks amazing but is a great result with minimal effort.
MOUTH: Give yourself a killer pout! If you want to enhance your lips, make them the focus. Use neutral colours on the eyes, then pump up the lips. Brighter colours are quite trendy at the moment in pinks and oranges. Apply lipstick with a lip brush for accuracy, which is needed when using brighter lip shades, then lightly line the lips afterwards for a clean and crisp finish.
