Emily Simm's Top Tips | No7

ASSEMBLE THE ESSENTIALS

First thing first, you’ll need a mirror. If you’re in a pinch, you can use your phone, but it won’t be as accurate as a mirror! The easiest, best space-saving option is to choose one makeup product that comes with its own mirror– the No7 Pro Artist eyeshadow quads are perfect.

Prep your on-the-go makeup bag that covers the essentials, I’d recommend the following;

· That’s a Wrap Mascara

· Eyeshadow Quad

· Colour & Glow Multi Stick

· Luminous Glow Lip Shine

· Brow Gel

APPLICATION

Start with the base first. An essential for on-the-go makeup is a multi-stick that can do a couple of jobs for you without any fuss. The creamy, buildable formulas of thePro Artist Colour & Glow Multisticks can be used on both the face and lips, adding colour and dimension to the skin, for a fresh look. You can use them in several different ways –

· After warming on the back of your hand, swipe the blush colour above the cheekbone to add a soft-focus flush of colour to the cheeks. Blend up and out to the sides with your fingers or a brush in a matter of seconds.
· You can also swipe this colour across your lips to add a coordinating pop of sheer colour.
· Use the highlighter shade to shape and brighten the face – add to the tops of cheekbones, brow bones, and down the bridge of the nose.

When you’re on the move, it’s unlikely that you’re going to have the time to carefully fill in your brows. The beauty of the Pro Artist Runway Ready Brow Gel is that it can sculpt, shape and set brows in a matter of seconds. Begin at the front of your brows and brush the product in small upwards motions.

For the eyes, the Pro Artist Eyeshadow Palette instantly elevates your look whether you’re heading out for the day or night. The buttery, pigmented formulas mean you can swipe with your finger and get instant colour pay off whilst also being able to blend easily. Use one finger to swipe the product across the lid, and another clean finger to blend out at the edges. Blend upwards at an angle towards the temple for a lifted look.

Next, mascara. You may need to wait for the cab to stop at a traffic light, but mascara is my essential for framing the eyes. With the buildable formula and plastic comb brush, the new Pro Artist That’s a Wrap Mascara layers up within a few swipes, and all without any clumps or flakes.

Finally, finish the look by topping your lips with the Pro Artist Luminous Glow Lip Shine. It’s a smooth non-stick formula, which means you’ll avoid any hair sticking to your lips as you’re rushing from A to B!
