We answer a bunch of your burning

beauty questions.

Q

Besides using wipes or

starting over, is there

another way to fix make-up

faux pas?

A: Wipes can get a tad messy as they’re

soaked in solution—and you might end up

ruining your make-up more if you don’t get it

right. The biggest artists in the biz swear by

make-up sponges. Beauty Blenders, the cult

beauty tool’s mini versions, make it super-

easy to target the area you want to fix without

further ruining your base. If you’re looking for

a cheaper quick fix, take a cotton swap and

dip it in a some moisturiser to fix a liner gone

wild or wipe off mascara smudges.

Q

I’ve heard sheet masks

are perfect for a girl on

the go. Is there any mask

that can refresh tired skin

and leave me with a glow?

A: Try an oxygenating mask with

charcoal—it’ll draw out impurities and

leave your skin clean and refreshed. If

you want luminous skin, go for the

Innisfree It’s Real Squeeze Mask in

Manuka Honey—it not only hydrates and

nourishes skin, it also leaves it glossy

and plump.

Q

I’ve used all kinds of

creams and serums, but

I’m still struggling to correct

the redness on my face. What

am I doing wrong?

A: For instant relief, buy a calming serum

that contains neurosensine or

niacinamide—soothing ingredients that

help reduce redness while also easing

irritation. When applying make-up, make

sure you use a colour-correcting primer

like the NYX Professional Makeup Studio

Perfect Primer in Green under your

foundation—it’ll neutralise the redness on

your face and give you an even skin tone.

Q

I have uneven

lashes, how can I

make them look longer

and thicker?

A: Our eyelashes never grow evenly,

hence you’ll notice some hairs are

considerably shorter than the

others. What you need is a tool that

coats every single lash evenly and

precisely. The all-new Hourglass

Curator Lash Instrument has a

stainless steel tip with no bristles,

just tiny ridges that pick up product

and glide it right on to your lashes—

defining and separating even the

smallest hairs from root to tip in a

single stroke, leaving you with

longer, fuller lashes.
