MakeUp by Sharon

Exfoliate: One to two times a week focusing on areas such aselbows, knees and feet. Follow up with a deep moisturiser. This prepares your skin for fake tan.  

Tan: If you are using a self tanner, remember to experiment well before the event to determine the correct amount required for your desired look.

Pre Pampering: Allow a few days before the event for treatments such as waxing, eyebrow shaping, facials, manicures and pedicures. This allows time for any redness or reactions to diminish.

Outfit: Try on your outfit one or two days before the event in case it needs any alterations. Hang it up pressed or dry-cleaned, with a plastic cover for protection.     

Primer: Apply a primer after your moisturiser and before your foundation. This will keep your makeup looking fresh all night. 

Lips: Brush your lips first with a clean toothbrush then apply Vaseline. This will soften the lips and maintain the lipstick colour.

Allow plenty of time on the day for: A light lunch if you’re booked for an evening meal, hair and makeup appointments and photos etc. Lay out everything you need in advance so your time is not spent looking for items.

Supplies on the Night: handbag, mints, tissues, compact powder, gloss, eyelash glue, deodorant or perfume, hair pins/spray, comb for back combing, camera, phone credit, shoe cushions, fold up flats for taxi home.

Most of all HAVE FUN!
