Hi! What primer would you recommend for oily skin? My make up literally slide off by midday even on a cold day. I just need something that will help it stay put.

Hi there
For oily skin, my first recomendation would that you to invest in a good skin care range that matifies your skin and allows for better application once you have completed your regime. If your moisturiser has too much oil in it, combined with your skin’s natural oils, it will make your make-up run off. As far as primers are concerned, you might have an problem finding one that suits your skin on its own. Most contain illuminators to enhance your foundation, so rather try a powder over your foundation to help it set better. The only matifying primer I’ve come across is the blackUp Matifying Base, which works magic in terms of getting skin to stay soft and matte all day long.
Question
I find eyeshadows daunting. So many colours and I don’t really know what to do with them or how to pair them to create a look. I would like to know, what colours do you recommend for dark brown eyes and a medium to dark complexion. Could I also go with bold colours like yellows, pinks, purples, blues…? I really like the smoky eye look.

Hi Adele,I want to learn how to do make-up for my face and complexion from the professionals. I was trying to do it through a certain brand line, and wanted to know about certification as a make-up artist. I wanted to know how you got into the business and how ordinary women like myself can learn from professionals for our own faces. Thank you.

What would be the right kind of colour brush for my skin tone? Think Kerry Washington’s complexion. I would like something that’s natural looking and matte. Not too shiny.
