PRIME Using an oil-free

primer is a must! You

wouldn’t wear a sports top

without a sports bra, right?

Primers do for your skin

what a sports bra does for

your breasts. Primers hold

everything in and help to

smooth out the surface so

your makeup lasts longer

and gives the overall look of

flawless skin. When you’re

sweating, primer creates a

barrier between your skin and

your foundation, so it’s less

likely to slide off.

TIP: Less is more! You don’t

need to coat your face with it.

A small drop (the size of a 5c

coin) is plenty. Gently rub into

the skin for even coverage.

A

s a makeup artist I don’t recom-
mend wearing makeup to the gym. It
can cause your skin to break out, can
clog your pores and after your workout ses-
sion is done it’s not a pretty look! However I
know some women just can’t live without it,
so here are my tips to make it work!

We are all guilty of it;

wearing a full face of

makeup when we go

to the gym. But there

should be a balance

when it comes to

wearing makeup and

choosing the right

products for your skin.

Keeping it fresh at the gym

CONCEALER

Cover up any

dark circles and

blemishes with a

concealing

blemish

treatment. This

will provide

coverage to the

offending spot.

That way you can

conceal and heal

at the same time.

TIP: Less is more!

You don’t need

to coat your face

with it. A small

drop (the size of a

5c coin) is plenty.

Gently rub into

the skin for even

coverage.

FOUNDATION For light, fresh and dewy

complexion, use a water-based

foundation or tinted moisturiser. Both formulas

are great and they don’t clog pores or cause

breakouts. If you prefer mineral foundation,

wear a light dusting of foundation.

TIP: Avoid any oily formula foundations.
