Party Eyes - Jemma Kidd 'Crushed Jewel Creme Duo'


Set your eyes a light with Jemma Kidd's 'Crushed Jewell Creme Duo', the cream base & shimmering jewels can help you create a striking look worthy of any catwalk! Apply the cream shadow base first of all across the lids, don't take it any higher than the socket line, then with a fluff brush sweep the loose powder jewels over the cream which will hold them in place. Blend it out softly in circular motions to create an even finish, also for an even more striking look apply a little of the cream base under the lower lash line & then with a cotton bud blend some of the sparkles over it. One tip though, as it can get a little messy, do it before apply your foundation so you can patch up any loose sparkles that fall down while you're creating your master piece!
Available at Boots £12, latest colour Released this week in 'Bronzite'

Best Matte Powder - Estee Lauder Double Wear


After searching for a matte powder that gives great coverage without caking as well as a long lasting finish Estee Lauder's 'Double Wear Long Lasting Powder' works wonders!
It creates a soft matte finish, controls excess oil & shine without drying the skin as well as minimising pores. It will set your make-up perfectly & the powder won't change colour either as it wears, plus it stays put - even increasing the wear of cheek colour as well.
Generally for oily to combination skin, it's perfect for keeping a fresh matte look all day without constant shine touch ups!
A little pricey, but it does last well so well worth it (£22.50).
