Terry Barber, the current director of Mac Cosmetics has revealed a few tips in order to achieve this seasons’ hot pout.  One such tip in order to achieve a velvety finish is to first blot your red lipstick and then reapply it.  For a more laqueur or matte finish a clear coat of gloss should be applied to the lips, to give a cutesy and pouty finish, redraw the cupid’s bow slightly outside the lipliner.

Red lipstick always looks both classic and timeless, MAC offer a red shade that is both satin in appearance and glossy and the best bit, this lip shade boasts to keep your lips hydrated rather than dry them out.

For best results team the MAC lipstick in red with a Cheery liner from the same label.  A good primer to use is Lip Venom Primer from DuWop, this particular product boasts to make your lip shade continue looking fresh and it lasts for hours without bleeding.  It comes in an easy to apply tube that is a perfect size to slip in your handy, just in case you require any touch ups on a night out.

For a more casual look with a rock chic edge, use your finger to smudge the edges.

Camping and festivals are great fun but the lack of sleep, the junk food, the weather, the dehydration and the alcohol are all factors which can lead to a poor and unhealthy complexion.

The Witch Naturally Clear Blemish Stick has been designed to combat such effects and is priced at only £3.09. It is certainly a must have survival piece that is small enough to slip into your back pocket or handbag and one that will keep you looking blemish free even on your fourth day of that much anticipated festival.

The in housed formula is packed full of skin friendly ingredients such as extracts of natural witch hazel, all of these ingredients work to combat spots and blemishes. The clever formula does this by braking down excess oil build up by drying out imperfections which in turn will have you looking like a festival babe in no time!
