Ola people and listen up – especially going out to Rachel in the Bush!
Today we are going to attack zee problem of dark circles!
From melting Mumbai to Springtime Paris - every Tom, Dick and 'Arry is on the look-out for the perfect eye-blaster. That quick fix, that right cream, that magic wand, the perfect cure...even recipes!? to lift, lighten, brighten, to ensure your eye-area is perfect - Mulain is besieged with desperate pleas of revealing a remedy for this probleme so as always I am 'ere ready to 'elp….read closely and concentrate....
You must first ...sleep well, exercise, drink lots of l'eau and de-stress! From the land of the temples - as zee old saying goes..... treat your body as one - c'est vrai mon cheres.
At fat mu HQ we know the quick make-up fixes for instant radiance and brightness - YSL 'Touche Eclat' in 3 colours (no.3 may work on some Indian tones - make sure you try first in natural day light, not the morgue-style lighting of the department store..what are they thinking?). MAC 'Studio Finish Concealor' - again do try before you buy - getting your correct couleur is vital! Benefit's 'Lemon-aide' for pale skins is excellente and we just love, love, love the packaging 'bravo Benefit'....pour 'Les Professionals' out there we have found in our many, many years of experience, Kryolan 'derma' is the best for Indian skins - for a mix and match artiste it is truly the best - just remember to keep it light on the brush.
For skincare we are currently experimenting with Garnier 'Under Eye Caffeine Roller' for de-puffing those peepers in the early hours - watch this space! Aussi.....we hear 'Eyederma' is superior for all the eye problemes...dark circles, 'character lines', smoothing skin on zee lids....Mulain is currently investigating these and will pass on any useful information as quickly as possible!
If of course you are still struggling with all of the above... there is nothing a large pair of fabulous, dark glasses cannot hide while also maintaining a 'Garbo style' air of mystery - remember my darlings there are options for us all......

Face:
To begin our Natasha first prepped Freida's skin (cleanse, tone, moisturise) ...tres importante to create a lovely canvas to work on and for the make up to stay on looking fresh and glowing all day...
After prepping the skin , Natasha smoothed the Cosmetics a la carte skin tint in ' Gold Honey' all over Freida's face to even out the skin tone and create a lovely glow.. she
then dusted the Screen face loose transluscent powder lightly all over to set it.. concentrating on the t-zone so that the glow from the face was still visible...
Eyes:
Tres simple.. without overloading too much eyeshadow but still getting 'leetle' bit artistic with zee eyes.. Natasha blended colours using a lovely champagne colour ' Woodwinked' from MAC and colours in browns and taupes from the Screen face Neutral shadow palette .
First she applied a wash of taupe eyeshadow from the Screen face palette over the entire eyelid to create a base....
Over that a wash of 'Woodwinked' from MAC again over the entire lid , concentration on the centre for a pop of colour and brightness to bring a sparkle to her eye.... ooh la la...
She then used a medium brown to contour the crease of the eyelid and on the outer corner of the eye for a bit of a lift and to create definition.
After Natasha had finished applying the eyeshadows she used the Bobbi Brown gel liner in 'Black ink' very closely to the top lash line to accentuate and add even more definition... followed by black mascara on both the top and lower lashes and finished off a soft brown kohl pencil inside the rim of the lower lash line...
Cheeks:
On her cheeks a lovely gel blush by Screen face in 'Barely rouge' was applied.. concentration most of it on the apple of her cheek to bring a very natural flush to her face... like loves first blush... ah..! i am such a romantique 'ol fool...
Lips:
A slick of Bobbi Brown lip gloss in ' Maple tint' was applied for a very natural look whilst still adding leetle colour, moisture and shine
Highlight:
To complete the look a lovely champagne creme highlighter by Shisheido was used on the top of her cheekbones and brow bone to bring the whole look together and light up her lovely angelic face...
Voila ! 'ope theeze helps... tomorrow Rachael we will talk about your dark circles and 'ow to still look fresh and lovely ze morning after....
