Did you know that 40 million pieces of make up are thrown away each year in the UK alone? And that the average woman buys seven foundations before finding the right one?
Not expecting to learn any revolutionary makeup techniques I turned up to the Bobbi Brown diverse make up masterclass led by Paul Hamilton, Head of Artistry at Bobbi Brown. Once inside the studio, I realised immediately this was going to be an interactive hands on workshop, and instantly perked up! Determined to share all my new found knowledge with you all, this is what I learnt:
Don’t feel obliged to wear foundation if you have good skin, you can use tinted moisturiser and concealer.
Always use a primer before applying foundation to create a smooth base.
Match your foundation colour by testing three of the closest matches to your skin on your cheek and checking which one blends in seamlessly.
Look at your collarbone to check your powder colour so the colour flows from your face to neck to collarbone to décolleté.
Look for lip colours either the same shade or darker as your natural lip colour. If you match to your own lip colour, you wont get the patchy effect as the colour wears off.
Gel eyeliners are amazing, if you don’t own one it should be the next thing to buy on your shopping list. Try caviar.
I felt reassured hearing Asian skin tones were prone to dark circles and often they can be difficult to conceal. After trying a corrector underneath concealer I was converted. Paul also reiterated the need to apply concealer first before foundation to ensure you don’t use too much foundation unnecessarily. Concealer needs to be one shade lighter than your foundation but Bobbi Brown concealers are manufactured as such so you can buy the same shade.
The most important lesson I learnt was to focus on skin tones rather than skin colour. The secret to looking your best is to apply the right foundation shade for your skin colour.
So, if you’re looking to revamp your look in 2010, why not head down to a Bobbi Brown counter, and try the diverse range for yourself? The beauty assistants are always more than happy to give you a free makeover and show you what a good look can do for you.
