With the onset of the Christmas party season, here are a few very easy hints and tips to help you look your best.
Let's start with your skin, and four great tips to give your look that extra special appeal: To make sure your skin maintains a healthy shine all day, use products such as "skin illuminators".
For advice you can ask in store or at a beauty salon.
These products reflect light to make your skin look smoother and younger.
If you have any little blemishes on your skin, use a silicone primer.
They are excellent at covering any flaws.
This is a handy tip if you don't want to get a spray tan done, or if you don't have time: Buy or find a brown to pink shade of a face bronzing powder.
Then by using a wide brush you can feather it into your hairline, on your neck and under your jawbone for a really neat and natural tanned look.
Just try it, you'll be amazed.
A super tip if you have any signs of a few late nights, such as little puffy areas on your face, especially around your eyes.
Put a steel spoon in the freezer for a few minutes, or even an ice bucket if there's one handy, and then press the flat surface or back of the spoon onto the puffy area.
It works like an iron and the puffy bits are gone.
Now how about those lips? Here's a real Christmas cracker, but you'll need to find some cinnamon oil which probably won't be in your bag.
To make your lips look full and juicy, drop a little of the cinnamon oil on them.
The spice and oil draws the blood to the surface and will last for a few hours.
Give these ideas a trial run at home first, but you will be pleased with the outcome.
All very simple - OK you need to look around for the cinnamon oil - but all very effective.
Enjoy the party!
