Do you know how to make a big forehead seam smaller?

A fringe is definitely the main option! Whether it's straight (ending just above the eyebrows) or side swept it's your best option :) Your hairdresser will be able to discuss the best style for you!

Leave a wee comment here if you have any questions!

Basic Everyday Makeup

With no make up on (EWWW)

Natural Collection Green concealer. This calms down any red parts on your face!

Maxfactor Smooth Effect Foundation in Natural. Really soft and medium coverage foundation. Only use Natural when I tan. Normally I'm Ivory/Porcelain! 

Maybelline Superstay 24h concealer. Just for under eyes as it's slightly yellow tinted which is best for dark circles.

Natural Collection bronzer, also have blusher on here but its mingin ahah
Have used the contouring guide I posted earlier.

L'Oreal superliner in black. Have used liquid eyeliner for years and I can apply it super quick. Practice makes perfect!

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes in Extra Black. Brilliant mascara, easy to build up coats and comes off easily!

Maxfactor Khol eyeliner and Liquid Effect liner. I use the khol for my top and bottom waterline and the liquid effect for the lower lashes.

Finally finished!

Self tanning. (Dark result)

I prefer my tan as dark as possible!

First I use Make Believe Self Tan Mousse. I apply with the re usable gloves you get with Fake Bake (the purple medical loooking ones) as they give the best result.
NEVER apply non wash off tan with a mitt as this wastes so much product! And for the price of self tan, you don't want to waste a drop!
The most important thing to remember is never apply in strokes, always a circular movement as this will reduce streaks :)
I start from my calves and work my way up, both of these can be used on the face but with extreme care!
Take extra care on dry spots like ankles, knees, elbows and wrists. But having used a thick moisturiser before hand nothing should go wrong there!
After the mousses I use Fake Bake Original Lotion. (Always remember gloves!!!) If you're a beginner or are pale I suggest you try Fake Bake Golden Lotion first as it's lighter and harder to make mistakes with.
Again start at your calves and work your way up. Using lotion from your calves rub it downwards on to your feet.
I suggest you have a friend to help with your back (I use my boyfriend). You can buy this mitt on a stick thing from Boots but they are absolutely useless and being a mitt, you'll loose out on product.
As for face, always try to use a tanner designed specifically for the face, if not then mix a touch of lotion with your regular moisturiser to improvise!
I would use this technique for the back of your hands too, if you do have a face tanner then use that!
Save on dirty wrists and fingers :)

Also never apply self tan to your armpits. I saw this once. It wasn't pretty and I don't know what possessed her to do it!!!

My Moisturising Regime :) (for use before self tan)

After thoroughly exfoliating using exfoliating gloves I use Boots Vitamin E Body Lotion.
I use this because my skin isn't dry, I'd say it's normal. So I use this lotion all over.
I then use Soap and Glory Righteous Butter on dry parts like knees, elbows, ankles and wrists.

I'd recommend Soap and Glory Righteous Butter Lite if your skin is dry as it's slightly thicker than the vit e lotion and it smells aaaamazing!

Hello do you have any tips on contouring and applying bronzer for beginners? :)

First of all, always be careful with bronzers and make sure you do have the perfect shade! Start off with just a tiny amount so you can easily build up colour to suit.
It's hard to explain how to contour (and I'm crap at drawing other wise I'd draw it and upload it!) I may try a video tutorial. Although there are hundreds on YouTube!
The main point is BLEND BLEND BLEND you do not want to end up looking like Nicki Minaj!
As with everything practise makes perfect.
 I found this online and it's about the best one I can see :)
And the top one, this should make anyone remember how to blend!!

Hi! I just wondered if you had any tips for reducing shine? My skin goes quite oily grr and I end up putting powder on a lot especially if I'm out but wondered if there's something else I can try to prevent it etc? Thankyou! :D

I have the same problem myself! There's a lot of primers (used under foundation) that claim to reduce shine but I find them useless.
I suggest a pressed powder, it can be hard to find the right shade though so a translucent one will work best, try Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder! Using a large brush use just a tiny amount swept over the biggest effected areas but avoid the eye area as the powder will settle in to lines and it's not a good look!
Alternatively you can buy Blotting Papers which you can just press onto the effected areas as and when you feel you need to but these can be quite expensive.
I'd also suggest using No7 Beautifully Balanced cleanser and toner and definitely using an oil free moisturiser. Use these in the morning and leave 10 minutes after applying your moisturiser before you apply any makeup!
Hope this has helped :)

xo.
