Back To Beauty School

From easy liner to nailing the perfect base – master these tricks of the trade, once and for all from make-up artist Lisa Potter-Dixon.

Achieve an A-Star Base

‘Great make-up starts with great skincare,’ says make-up artist Lisa Potter-Dixon, who massaged Weleda Skin Food, £14.95 (the cult classic moisturiser she loves) into the skin pre-foundation for a radiant glow.

Make Your Lipstick Work Harder

Whether you’re team coral, nude, fuchsia or crimson, upgrade your lipstick by adding
a thin layer of nourishing, glossy balm over the top. ‘It will make the colour really pop, while leaving your lips feeling hydrated and soft,’ promises make-up artist Potter-Dixon. Win-win.

Upgrade Your Toolkit

When it comes to finding your perfect finish, choosing the right tool for the job is key. ‘Use a fluffy brush to buff in a liquid blusher for an untraceable finish,’ advises Potter-Dixon, who then used her fingertips to tap her old faithful Weleda Skin Food (choose Original or Light), £14.95, over cheekbones.

Try a Liquid Eyeshadow (Yes, Really)

You needn’t venture into smoky eye territory to make an impact. Flattering and forgiving, liquid eyeshadows in golden shades add ample drama without the fuss (or fallout) of black powders. Simply swipe on and blend with your fingertips.

Perfect Your Eyeliner

Graphic liner doesn’t have to weigh down your eyes,’ says Potter-Dixon. ‘For an instant lifting effect, end the line at the outer corner of the eye instead of taking it along the lid.’ Vieve Power Ink Liner in Midnight Black, £21, gives pinpoint precision, while Weleda’s Skin Food Nourishing Cleansing Balm, £12.95, gently removes every trace.
