"The girls you see doing make-up on social media aren't necessarily like you - in age and in appearance - and that's okay. Everything else can be harmonised around it."Ī post shared by Beyoncé Mistake seven: being a slave to trends Every woman should be led by one piece of their outfit - whether that's their dress or hair - because you need a focal point that drives everything forward. "The outfit rules everything because it determines how much of a statement the make-up is going to be.
When I arrive, I give her a hug and a kiss and then I immediately go to see the dress. My advice, I always start with what she is wearing. "Beyoncé is so particular about her hair but when it comes to her make-up she always asks what I have in mind.

"I hate foundation that looks heavy or like a mask and it's so important that you can't see where your foundation starts and stops. Having the ability to switch between the two gives your face nuances and highlights, so it doesn't look flat and monochrome." Mistake three: applying foundation everywhere Then, your summer colour can act like a bronzer in the winter.
