Flawless FINISH

Make-up

AIRBASE PERFECTING PRIMER uses colloidal platinum water made up of nano-particles of negatively charged platinum metal to help maintain the electrical balance in the skin, moisturising and protecting the epidermis. Used as the first step in make-up application, the primer’s opalescent silicone-gel formula softens the appearance of fine lines and pores and diffuses reflected light for a matte, clean skin finish.

JANE IREDALE GREAT SHAPE CONTOUR KIT allows MUAs and clients alike to add dimension to the face in a subtle way.

HD BROWS BROW COLOURFIX is an easy route to creating bold brows with a natural finish. The tinted gel is brushed into brows to shape and provide a hint of colour, in shades Bombshell, for blonde hair; Foxy for midtone hair; and Vamp for brunette hair. Brow Colourfix can be used over another brow product as a setting gel and to add volume, or on its own for a “brushed up”, textured look.

MII COSMETICS ILLUSIONIST TRANSLUCENT POWDER is billed as giving skin a “photo-ready radiance”. The translucent loose powder contains spherical particles to help blur the appearance of fine lines, eliminate shine and keep foundation looking fresh. On application, the powder transforms to a colourless finish suitable for all skin types and tones, says the brand, and so doesn’t leave a white or ashy finish on the skin under a camera flash.
