Q. What do these five beautiful, talented women have in common other than great genes and celebrity status?

A. Celebrity make-up extraordinaire, Phyllis Cohen has worked with each of these extraordinary ladies to create stunning, striking, and sophisticated faces!

Ms Cohen, who was worked with A-listers from the Rolling Stones to Diana Ross, absolutely loves the Glorious Skin range from global award-winning Italian spa brand [ comfort zone ], and in particular the Visible Lifting Tensor Serum, of which she has said: “I think it’s great! I think it would be perfect for celebrities.”

The exceptional lifting skincare serumfor the face and neck is designed to reduce expression lines and wrinkles with an immediate tensor effect, and has been deemed ‘botox in a bottle’. Signs of ageing are reduced to reveal amazingly younger-looking skin.
Used morning and evening for 30 days the Glorious Skin Serum will reduce fine lines and wrinkles by a massive 40% thanks to the magic ingredient lifting-hexapeptide which effectively relaxes the features of the face.
An advanced formula, rich in vitamin E, which is an effective anti-oxidant, hyaluronic acid and wheat proteins with a filling action, is what establishes the Glorious Skin Serum as a unique innovative product.

This instant tensor is ideal as a make-up base and can either be used on concerned areas of the face and neck or applied all over for all skin types. Sarah Brock, Director of Make-Up Artistry at Daniel Sandler has described the Glorious Skin Visible Lifting Tensor Serum by Comfort Zone as : “A non-greasy product which is a fantastic make-up base … My miracle in a bottle!”

Glorious Skin Visible Lifting Tensor Serum is £76.95, 30ml and is available from spas and salons nationwide. Also available in the Glorious Skin range is the Glorious Skin Tensor Mask (£31.95).

Top Make-Up Tricks - Smokey Eyes

The following tips will help you achieve a smouldering smokey eye effect without a professional at hand, perfect for a night out on the town this weekend!

Firstly as with anything start with a good base, take a light neutral colour and with a large brush sweep across the lid. Then with a smaller defined brush take a dark colour of your choice which works best as a shimmer or frost finish & apply to your lower lid then with your larger brush blend outwards to soften (don't worry if it looks s little messy at this stage!).

Then take the dark colour again & shade in the outer corners of your eye in a shape such as a 'V' on it's side with the point facing outwards, this will add depth & make your eyes look darker & wider, make sure you blend well & take a cotton bud to soften this out which will also define as well.

Line the top lash with a matte dark shadow, use a small slanted brush for this, it will create a softer smokier finish & take it from the outer corner to the inner, for the bottom lash again use the shadow with the same brush & take it three quarters of the way across from the outer edge & with a cotton bud soften this out & even add a little more shadow to create a more dramatic look (use the dark colour used on the lids for an extra shimmer).

One thing to bare in mind is to try & apply more depth to the outer corners so the finshed result is not too heavy, cotton buds are your best friend while creating this look as they are perfect for blending in this area!

Take a highlighter & blend up to the brow bone, this is great for bringing everything together, also take a little of the highlighter into the inner corners to open the eye & tidy any edges by softening them out with the cotton bud.

Another tip is do your eye make-up first before the foundation, using dark colours can be messy!!

St Tropez Summer Skin SOS

So your summer holiday is over but that doesn’t mean your tan has to be too. Follow these easy top tips from St Tropez tanning expert Tammy Baker to ensure that your tan lasts just as long as your holiday memories…

Once you have returned from your holiday it’s natural to want to make your sun tan last as long as possible so for an immediate colour boost use the St Tropez Tan Intensifier. This unique lotion is infused with rich Mediterranean oils, antioxidant vitamin E, and a specialist mix of tanners to help prolong a golden radiance and finish the skin for maximum impact. This is a hydrating gel based product glides over the skin to provide an instant boost which will then develop over 4-12 hours. Apply Tan Intensifier every 2-3 days when you need that extra boost of colour to make your holiday tan last as long as possible.

To achieve an all year round glow that can rival your holiday tan Tammy suggests using St Tropez Bronzing Mousse ‘my favourite product is Self Tan Bronzing Mousse because it is very quick and easy to apply with the Tan Applicator Mitt and it dries in 60 seconds meaning you can get dressed straight away. The guide colour will provide you with an instantly gorgeous natural tan which develops over 4-12 hours. The tan lasts 3-5 days and is easy to top up when necessary’

For those who prefer a hint of colour on their skin Tammy recommends using Gradual Tan Mousse.

‘Just like Self Tan Bronzing Mousse this is very quick and easy to apply with the Tan Applicator Mitt and it dies in 60 seconds. There is no guide colour this time but you can see from the sheen of the product where you have applied it. This will develop into a natural tan which will provide a subtle boost. You can apply Gradual Tan Mousse anytime you feel you need a colour boost. Allow to develop between 4-12 hours for the best results’

If you maintain your tan correctly you can achieve a healthy glow all year round without anyone even realising you are using a self tan product. ‘ After care is essential for Self Tan maintenance. Use St Tropez Body Polish every 2-3 days. This will gently buff the skin and ensure the tan fades more evenly and revive your skin. Use St Tropez Body Moisturiser or Body Butter daily to keep the skin beautifully hydrated and make the tan last longer. If your skin is dry and dehydrated your tan will fade faster and become uneven’
