After-dark

elegance

The party season is the

perfect time to dial up your

glamour. The make-up artist

Polly Osmond shares her

advice for a sophisticated look

with a red-carpet twist

The base

‘For long-wearing

coverage, I opt

for a satin-finish

foundation that makes

the skin look radiant,’

says Osmond. Choose

a product that glides on

weightlessly and blurs

imperfections. ‘I apply

foundation using my

fingers,’ she adds. ‘The

warmth of my hands

helps to give the base

a more natural look.’

The prep

‘When prepping the

skin for make-up, try

not to put everything

on all at once. Leave

a little time between

applying moisturiser

and your primer or

foundation, so that

the product can settle

into the skin,’ advises

Osmond. Look for

a hydrating primer

that will give the skin

a healthy glow that

lasts all night.

The eyes

‘For fabulous eyes, all

you need is a good

liner, a gel shadow

and a great mascara,’

says Osmond. ‘To

create a slick cat-eye

flick, use the eyeliner

as a base, then add

the liquid shadow on

top, before finishing

with plenty of

mascara. It’s really

that easy.’

The lips

‘Applying a stain that’s

slightly darker than

your lip colour is a more

natural-looking way to

enhance lips than using

a liner. You can wear

it on its own or even

underneath a lipstick,’

says Osmond. To get

the look, simply blot

with your fingers for a

sof t sta in, or choose

a heavily pigmented

shade to give a more

dramatic finish.
