Make-up perfection.
Spring is on its way and its time to lighten up with this seasons weightless high performance products. We asked Celebrity Make-Up Artist Nadira V Persaud for her expert opinion on which are the worthy products to weigh down your make up bag?
Here she shares her top 5 beauty findings with a featherweight feel that are taking pride of place in her kit this season.
1. I can’t praise Chanel for their Perfection Lumiere enough, it is a sure way to achieving good coverage without the markings of a stodgy base, instead a seamless finish in an impressive range of shades with a matt finish.
2. Concealers worn around the eyes need to be creamy and smooth to avoid sitting in lines but also need to generously brighten dark shadows, therefore when I came across the balmy-like texture of Terre D’oc Concealer, a natural brand, I had many clients jotting down the name that instant.
3. My most recent find is Beaute Liqui-Gel Stain in Fever to create a romantic flush to cheeks and lips without dragging or stickiness. The long lasting blendible pigments are available in 3 other shades and certainly stays in place so a good problem solver if your make up tends to wear away.
4. The beauty world has been agog at the staying power of Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Colour and so have I! The buildable creams in heavenly shades shimmer and shine beautifully with a delicate dab on eyelids without ever creasing.
5. I adore a beauty item that you might not think you need until you try it and Hourglass Film Noir Lash Lacquer is one addition to my kit I could now lot live without. The ultra glossy black top coat worn after Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara fans out lashes to an appealing length and shine transforming your flutter from day to night. Not for the fainthearted!
