Get Lippy
Paint your pout to perfection with a lip brush. Apply one coat of your fave lippy, then blot with a piece of tissue pressed between your top and bottom lip and then apply a second coat.
Top make-up artist Lorraine Meeghan from Blu Eriu recommends dusting a little pressed powder over your lippy and it'll stay put for hours. Add a tiny dab of Vaseline to the middle of your lower lip for the perfect pout.
Glamour Glow
Apply your fake tan before applying your make-up and allow it to develop so that your make-up will match the tone of your tan. Apply your self-tanners with a light hand. Additional layers can always be added later.
How to apply your fake tan
1. Exfoliate area to be tanned. This is a very important first step so don't skip over it.
2. Rinse skin thoroughly.
3. Do not apply moisturizer before applying the tanning product.
4. Thoroughly rub the self-tanner into the skin to avoid streaks.
5. Do not apply to knees, elbows or feet.
6. Wash hands to remove the product. This is one area that you do not want colour to develop.
7. Allow colour to develop
8. If smell is still an issue, wash the area well after the colour has fully developed.

Under Cover
You wake up the morning of your Debs with a shiny red spot…… don't fret! First, resist the urge to treat your blemish with any kind of pimple lotion until the day after your Debs. You need to create a smooth surface for concealer, and pimple cream will leave your skin all flaky. When you're ready to go undercover, follow these steps: Apply oil-free moisturizer to your face—pimple included—and let it sink in. With a brush or very clean finger, dab concealer onto the spot. Pat lightly to blend around the edges, using as light a touch as possible so you don't end up dabbing away all the concealer. Now brush on the teensiest amount of translucent powder to set the makeup. Look—no more pimple!
