BEAUTY STOP By Pageant Boss CEO Nicole Stoddart likes to keep her make-up light and simple. “It’s all about the face, base, and a good red lipstick is a must! I like to prep my skin before applying make-up. Skin prep is very important before make-up application because it helps your make-up go on smoothly. How you prep your skin is reflective of how your make-up application is,” she told Tuesday Style Dryer.

Here’s how:

Base make-up application order:

Moisturiser — use a lightweight moisturiser for daytime wear, preferably a hydrating one. Apply and massage onto your face and leave for 1-3 minutes.

Primer — apply a matte primer and leave on face for 1-5 minutes before applying foundation. The longer it stays on, the better.

Create the perfect arched eyebrows using our 2-in-1 eyebrow pencil in dark coffee.

Eyeshadow — apply red colour in the crease of the eyelid and blend upwards. Then apply matte nude colour using a flat fluffy brush.

Use the perfect wing eyeliner to line the eyes and add lashes to complete the look.

Foundation in shade PB9 — apply with brush or beauty blender.

Concealer — apply directly under eyes for coverage. For a more youthful appearance (to give the illusion of a facelift) apply concealer to the outer corner of the eyes.

Pressed Powder shade PB9 — to set the entire face.

Highlight and contour setting powder — to set concealer under the eyes and contour areas.
