Top 10 Beauty Tips for a Glamorous Christmas
Christmas throws a real challenge: how to look your best at parties in the darkest depths of winter? Despair not; here are ten top tips that guarantee a glamorous Christmas look:
1. Preparation
It’s all in the preparation – exfoliation and moisturiser are the two base elements to creating a beautiful end product. Build the two into your regular beauty regime for smooth, soft skin.
Start preparing now by checking out our extended online skin care range.
2. Self tan
Little black dresses demand a certain amount of exposure, regardless of how demure they may be – give your skin tone a pick me up with a subtle coverage of fake tan.
Achieve the tan you’ve always dreamed of with our self tanning products.
3. Foundation
Even if you’ve trodden the self tan route you’ll still need a base layer for a full glamour puss make over. Colour match carefully and blend with a cosmetics sponge into the hair line and over the throat to avoid tide marks on the jaw line.

4. Blush & Bronze
Match to your colour scheme, with blush for pale foundations and bronzers to enhance a sun kissed look. Blush and bronzers are a great way to add depth to your make up, use them along the chin, cheek bones and brow to enhance natural contours.
