LMFF Marie Claire Beauty Workshop.

Rae Morris, Beauty Director at L’Oréal Paris and Emily Taylor, Beauty Editor from marie claire hosted yesterday's LMFF Beauty Workshop. Held at the Sofitel, it was a mixture of the who's who, the who wants to be, and the who will never be (sounds bitchy, but I had to write it...there was a girl in a sarong for heavens sake).

A lot of it was a huge plug for L'Oreal make up. This will do this, and that will do that. But Rae did have some pretty handy helpful tips as far as make up goes.

Have a look:

SUNSCREEN. This wasn't so much a tip as an order. Anyone in the beauty world cannot stress enough the importance of sunscreen. Use it as a primer if you must but start using it. It will be the best anti-aging cream you'll ever purchase.

MOISTURISING is as important as sunscreen, but you have to find the right one. You can be doing more bad than good if you're using the wrong one. Also, never moisturise you're eyelids. They are the oiliest part of your body to begin with.

FOUNDATION should be based on your chest. Don't test it on your hand, arm or neck. You're chest is the same colour as your face. And PLEASE always blend. No one likes the look of orange foundation ending at your jawline.

LIPSTICKS should be tested on your finger tip. Due to the fingerprint, you'll be able to judge if the lipstick bleeds or not. Never test on your hand, it is far smoother than your lip. Also, always apply with a brush, not straight onto your lip.
This winter - out with the gloss, in with the colour. If you are afraid of bold colour, use a coloured gloss, just make sure there is some pigment happening. Plums, Reds and Oranges.

EYE SHADOWS will always go by your eye colour in conjunction with the colour wheel. So.
Blue eyes - Blue shadow or Orange, so, peaches, golds, bronzes.
Green eyes - Green shadow or Blue, so, Navy, Violet, Indigo.
Brown eyes - Lucky for you, any colour will go.
