FLAWLESS SKIN THIS AUTUMN
by Carla Kelly
This is the first in my new series of makeup reviews where, each month I
will be focusing on a particular product and talking about what I think is
the best on the market.
As a makeup artist, the question I am asked the most is ‘what foundation would
you recommend for my skin’. So, I am starting the series off with my top 10! On
the following pages, I have a step by step guide to creating a scarily good look
for Halloween! Make sure you look out for next month as I will be reviewing
the best skin highlighters on the market, to give you that ultimate glow. If there
is a product or technique you would like to know more about then please drop
me an email at [email protected] and your request could be featured in
the next edition.
