In search of some holiday makeup ideas? Here’s the Screen Siren look, directly from Jemma Kidd!
1) A radiant, flawless complexion is essential, so make sure you get this right with plenty of prep. Use an illuminating primer on well moisturised skin under a light layer of foundation, blending carefully at the jaw and hairline. Perfect with concealer where necessary.
2) Eyes should be neutral to keep the look balanced and elegant; use an eye primer before applying a delicate wash of nude toned eyeshadow with a matte finish.
3) Using a fine brush, add definition by lining the eyes with a jet black gel or liquid eyeliner. Start with a fine line at the inner corner of the eyes, thickening it gradually towards the outer corners. Apply false corner lashes and a volumising mascara for maximum impact and definition. Finish by combing through the brows, using a brow powder to fill in any sparse areas.
4) The first rule of red lips is precision. Ensure lips are flake-free, well moisturised and primed before taking your time to outline and fill in the lips with a waxy red lip liner to ensure a long-lasting hold. Next, paint on a creamy, scarlet red lipstick using a small lip brush, blotting with a tissue and reapplying.
LIP TIP: TO PLUMP UP YOUR POUT, APPLY A DAB OF CLEAR LIPGLOSS ONTO THE CENTRE OF THE LOWER LIP TO CREATE THE ILLUSION OF EXTRA FULLNESS
