1. Make-up in minutes
20 minutes:- For a stunning evening look, ensure skin looks radiant with lavera Make Up Fluid Light for less coverage or Make-up Fluid Naturel for more coverage, set with a dusting of lavera Loose Powder. To accent eyes, begin by lining the upper lashline with lavera Eyeliner. Next, sweep the lighter shade over the entire eyelid to highlight and brighten. Apply two coats of lavera Volumizing Mascara; use the black shade for a smoky eye effect, or the blue tone for a dramatic finish choose lavera Eye Shadow Duo and use the deeper shade to highlight the area immediately above the upper lashline. Highlight cheekbones with a light dusting of lavera Rouge in Bronze, and last but not least, apply two coats of creamy lavera Lipstick, blotting with a tissue between coats. Try a rich berry shade, such as No.19, 20 or 27 for a striking after-dark look, and for extra shine finish with a slick of lavera Lip Gloss No. 3 or No. 6.
2. Troubleshooting Tips
To brighten tired eyes...
-
Banish dark circles around the eye area with lavera Liquid Concealer. Apply sparingly with a light patting motion, and choose a shade exactly matching your skin tone. Don't be tempted to try a shade lighter than your complexion - it will only draw attention to the area. For treatment and coverage in one, blend a little concealer with LAVERE Ultimate Eye Cream before applying. Complete your wide awake look with lavera Eyeliner; apply to the top lashline only, keeping as close to the lashes as possible. Finally, use a finger pad to gently press a tiny amount of shimmery white or beige eyeshadow, try lavera Eye Shadow Duo No.2 or No. 3, into the innermost corner of your eye. It will make your peepers 'pop'!
To illuminate dull skin...
-
Give lackluster skin an instant glow with lavera Tinted Transparent Moisturizer. Use in place of your usual moisturizer, or following, if you have very dry skin. Follow with lavera Rouge; it lends dull complexions a warm, rosy bloom. Apply with a large fluffy brush anywhere the sun would naturally catch your face: cheekbones, temples and the bridge of your nose.
For fuller looking lips...
-
Use a flannel to gently buff dry, dead skin cells from the lips' surface and boost blood flow. Then massage in a small amount of lavere Lip Expert, to plump lips and provide an even base for lip color. Stick to a light shade of lavera Lipstick for the fullest effect, as darker shades draw the lips in, making them appear smaller. Finish with a slick of lavera Lip Gloss for high shine and extra volume.
To hide a troubled area...
-
Draw attention away from e.g. a blemish or uneven lips by playing up your most beautiful feature such as your eyes or lips.
3. Secrets of lavera make-up artists...
-
A clean, fresh face is the best base for make-up. Cleanse and tone skin, then apply moisturizer and allow it ten minutes to sink in before starting on your make up.
-
To find your perfect shade of foundation, test shades on the inside of your wrist, where skin tone is least affected by sun exposure, and always check the color in natural day light. For a foolproof application of your base, apply with clean fingertips across the center part of your face and then use a damp sponge to gently blend the foundation out, taking care to include your hairline and neck.
-
Loose powder is a make-up artist must: use it to set your foundation, layer between coats of lipstick to help the color last, and press gently over eyelids to create a smooth, even toned base for eyeshadow.
-
The best blusher is one that matches the shade your cheeks go when you flush naturally. To apply, smile to find your cheekbones and then use a large fluffy brush to sweep the powder out in circular motions over the apples. Remember, less is more: just a touch of blush is enough to give your complexion a healthy, fresh-from-holiday glow.
-
Try this trick for a professional application of eyeliner: rest your elbow on a flat surface and then draw the line in three short parts, joining them up when done. For a natural look, choose a shade matching your eye color, for a dramatic effect choose a contrasting shade.
-
Don't be afraid to use your fingers! Brushes are best for powder-based make-up products such as blush and eyeshadow, but clean finger tips are a great blending tool for creamy products like concealer and foundation.
-
Tidy, groomed eyebrows can lift your whole face. Have them professionally shaped in a salon and then maintain at home with a good pair of tweezers. But avoid over plucking fuller brows give your face more shape.
-
Keep your kit clean and organized. Sharpen pencils after use, so that they are ready for next time. Wash brushes once a week in a mild shampoo and air dry overnight. Wipe your mascara wand with a tissue before use to avoid clumps and ensure a neat application. Invest in a see-through make-up bag with multiple pockets so you can see all your cosmetics at a glance and remove the need for rummaging.

Have fun!
