Yes, it is possible to look glam for the cost of a movie ticket! Check out these money-saving tips from our beauty editor...
For face
Foundation brushes can cost up to $100! Don’t freak out. Our fave happens to be on the lower end of the price scale – Australis Perfection Brush On Foundation, $17.95. It gives a flawless finish, thanks to the built-in brush and glide-on formula. Apply strokes evenly then pat with fingers.
For cheeks
Bronzer with a hint of sparkle is pretty, but a matt bronzer will emphasise cheekbones in a more natural way, ensuring the whole look is simple yet classy.
Maybelline Expert Wear Blush, $15.50, is your answer.
For hair
Nothing says glam like flowing supermodel waves. To ensure your blow-dry lasts all night, apply V05 Mega Hold Styling Mousse, $4.30, to damp hair before styling. Too easy.
For eyes
Recreate Nic’s sexy eyes for less than two movie tickets! Rich bronze shadows look amazing with any eye colour, so blend BYS Eye Shadow Mousse, $8.95, over the lid and also along the bottom lashline. Define the shape with Australis Eye Pencil in Black, $8.95, by lining the inner and outer edge of the top and bottom lashes.
Follow with a coat of Mwah! Never Underestimate The Power Of Long Eyelashes Mascara, $5. Red-carpet eyes!
For lips
Even if your eyes are the focus, it doesn’t mean you should ignore your lips. Subtle is still very sexy. Choose a soft shade of gloss for a fresh, pretty look. To air kiss with confidence, try a fresh breath gloss, such as Covergirl Wetslicks AmazeMint, $12.95.
