I’m a makeup artist & my easy tip will make your face look as smooth as butter – it’s my go-to every Fashion Week
WE all want to look as youthful as possible while keeping our faces crease-free.
A makeup artist with years of experience, including working at Fashion Week, has shared a simple yet effective tip to make your skin look as smooth as butter.
The artist, known as on TikTok, posted a tutorial on her social media, revealing her go-to anti-ageing makeup hack.
Speaking to the camera while applying her makeup, she said: “I used to be a makeup artist for seven years, and these are all the tips that makeup artists never tell you.
“The primer you use is so important. I like to use one that’s hydrating, moisturising, and gives a glistening finish.
“When it comes to foundation, nearly every makeup artist mixes different types.

“By combining foundations with different finishes, you get the best of both worlds.”
The makeup artist explains that mixing foundation can bring great coverage as well as perfect the right colour for your face.
She says: “When it comes to concealer, I focus on the inner corners of the eyes.
“If the center of your face is bright, it makes your whole look come together. I’m loving the new MAC concealer - it’s thin but gives excellent coverage.

“To get the most out of your concealer, let it sit for a while before blending. This helps maintain the coverage.
“If you want to keep certain areas bright, use a brush to blend.”
She also uses the Too Faced bronzing sticks.
The makeup artist says: “These Too Faced bronzing sticks are so creamy - they blend like butter.
“For blush, I’m trying the new Makeup by Mario Barely Blushing shade.
“In winter, I prefer natural tones over bright pink cheeks.
“Before using loose powder, I always set my makeup with a pressed powder and a brush. Once everything is set, I follow up with loose powder.
“The Huda Beauty Easy Bake Powder is unbeatable. Make sure your powder puff is fully loaded, then tap off the excess to ensure smooth application.
“The combination of this powder and a puff makes the under-eye area look flawless. I finished my eye makeup in a separate video, so hit follow to see the tutorial!
“For the final touch, I use my Glint highlighter stick. I apply some to the back of my hand, then tap it onto the highest points of my cheeks.
“I used this trick backstage during Fashion Week, and it’s incredible. Every time you step under a spotlight, your cheeks will pop.

How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist
LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings.
She told Fabulous: “The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with.
“The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us.
“All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.”
It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing.
Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel.
Whatever your age or state of health, it’s never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.
Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.
“Compared to a regular highlighter, a stick gives that extra je ne sais quoi. It makes your base makeup look skin-like and radiant.
“Look how smooth and flawless my skin is! Every time I follow these steps, I know my makeup will look amazing.”
