Taking a few minutes pre-party to prime and prep your skin instead of quickly adding some more make-up to what's already there (who hasn't done that?) will make all the difference to your finished make-up look. You will not only feel cleaner and fresher but your skin will thank you for it too.
Make-up artist Alex Byrne used Aurelia Probiotic Skincare which works quickly to revitalise, calm and rebalance skin, leaving it smooth, radiant and perfectly primed for make-up application.
Alex then works with Becca make-up to create a metallic eye on two very different skintones, creating a fresh, modern alternative to the traditional smokey eye that anyone can wear.
