Make Up Must Have: Ask the Expert Christine Lucignano

What are the must haves for every make-up bag this Christmas?

Make Up Must Have – I generally roll my eyes at viral trends, but this year’s dolphin skin has merit. So, for glowing and pearl-like skin like a dolphin’s, adopt a few items to not only shine bright, but also treat your skin. The first step is to include an exfoliant, such as Trilogy Age-Proof Active Enzyme Cleansing Cream and use it twice weekly. Follow with my favourite Clarins SOS Primer, then Sculpted by Aimee Satin Silk Longwear Foundation in sheer, buildable layers. This way the skin glow shines through, but it will carry you through the night.

A good palette can add on-the-go drama for a quick day-to-night turnaround. Add a red lip and a few fresh coats of Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara and you have an instant festive look. I love Lancôme Rouge Absolut Drama Ink Matte, a liquid lipstick that lasts for hours. The shades #525 French Absolut and #888 French Idole are next-level glamour. With the True Beauty True Essentials Face Palette you can deepen bone structure, and add highlighter, blusher and a slick of bronzer in minutes

My Must Have

My Must Have Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Line Erasing Eye Cream is a secret weapon for the eye area. Late nights and indulgence always show in the delicate eye area, and this is your seasonal secret weapon. It does it all: brightens, firms and relieves puffiness or darkness, leaving a great base for make-up.
