Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, so here are our top tips for ensuring a flawless complexion all night long.

Deep Cleanse

Applying a purifying face mask before your big date will help to remove excess oil from your pores. By making your skin less oily, your makeup will stay put for longer. Opt for a mask that contains kaolin, bentonite or French clay; they have super oil-absorbing properties and will get right down into the pores to deeply cleanse.

Priming Skincare

Opt for a lighter serum and moisturiser to ensure that your skin doesn’t have any excess oil on it. After you’ve applied them, take an oil blotting sheet and press it gently against any areas you know that tend to get oily; for example your chin, nose and eyelids. Then apply a primer, and don’t forget to use a separate eyelid primer too.

Keep it Light

When you want your makeup to last for a long time, it’s tempting to apply more than usual. But thick layers are more likely to become cakey, oily or flaky. Start with a light layer of foundation; rely on concealer to cover up problem areas and finish with powder to prevent oiliness. Your skin will feel comfortable and look far more natural.

Dramatic Eyes, Neutral Lips

While lipstick can be a beautiful addition to any makeup look, it isn’t easy to keep it perfect for an extended period of time, and definitely not when food, drinks and kisses are on the menu.  Keep the drama for your eyes, with a sultry smoky look. Remember to use waterproof mascara too; this will prevent smudging and if you’re expecting a very romantic gesture, you won’t have to worry about it being ruined by tears either!

Setting Spray

Once you’ve finished applying your makeup, set it with a facial mist or setting spray, to help the makeup settle against your skin. Then, pop the spray into your handbag; you can reapply it throughout the night to refresh your makeup and brighten your complexion.

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
