A sprinkling of Latte Creations makes an everyday coffee break extra special
Best kept secrets
'All beauty experts will tell you never to use a straightforward cleanser; you want to do more for your skin than just remove your make-up. A favourite of mine is the Elemis Cleanser (£31.50), which contains active ingredients to repair your skin and restore radiance to your complexion. After cleansing use a moisturiser that provides added results such as the Gatineau Defi-Lift 3D Resulting Lift Cream (£65.00), which improves the texture of your skin by minimising the appearance of pores, giving cheeks a firmer appearance and defining cheekbones to create a more youthful look.'
'There are lots of foundations on the market. Make sure you use one that suits your skin type or age. I love Brenda Christian's Colour Adjusting Foundation (£28.25) because it cleverly adjusts to cover most skin types and colours to hide blotches, blemishes and give skin a firmer, younger appearance.'
'For a flawless finish, always apply a light-reflecting powder like Prescriptives Magic Line Smoother (£27.00) over your foundation. Apply over eye shadow and blush to blur the edges and soften the whole look - this will immediately make you look instantly younger.'
'Apply a kiss of colour to the cheeks. Cosmetics A La Carte's Angel Cheek Tint (£20) is an exquisite handmade cheek tint with an unbelievable texture that highlights cheekbones without drawing attention to pores or blemishes. The rose pink glow and slight sheen on the apple of the cheek helps older skin look younger and tighter. If you insist on using the same powder blusher you've been using for 20 years, you can still apply Cosmetics A La Carte cheek tint underneath your blush to modernise your look.'
'Hormones can ruin a flawless complexion at certain times of the month. A trade secret to deal with this problem that has been around for 20 years is using the Decleor Balm Essential (£23.25). When your skin is vulnerable to spots, massage the product into your for skin for 5-10 consecutive nights. It contains healing, anti-inflammatory properties to balance your complexion without drying it out.'
