"Make-up artists often say that a successful complexion depends on the attention given to it," says supermodel and makeup expert Linda Evangelista.

"As long as you already have the winning combination: the right texture, the right colouring, the right coverage, the right luminosity and the right application! Now that all women have access to professional tools, look out: the "wow" effect is everywhere!"

Secret No 3 - a flawless complexion

The next secret of professional makup artists, after prepping a perfect base, is creating a flawless complexion.

L’Oréal Paris STUDIO SECRETS PROFESSIONAL – the first comprehensive make up range that reveals the secrets of professional make up artists - has two products to help create an even-looking complexion.  Both are available exclusively at Priceline.

The L’Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional High Definition Smoothing Foundation ($40.95) contains two ‘progressive evaporation’ oils to capture and reflect the light, shape the face, and gives a satiny result worthy of an artist.  There are seven shades adapted to all types of complexion.

International Make-up Artist and Designer for L’Oréal Paris James Kaliardos recommends always applying foundation with a brush.

“Shake well, then load the brush with a walnut-sized amount of foundation. Dab the foundation onto the five key areas of the face, around the eyes, on the sides of the nostrils, the chin, the forehead and the cheeks, and work in with the brush towards the outside of the face. This foundation suits normal to dry skins perfectly,” he says.

The Shine-Absorbing Mattifying Foundation ($37.95 - available in 5 shades) offers a non-comedogenic formula to make skin matte & velvety, and lasts all day. Halfway between a cream and a powder, the foundation leaves no greasy residue as the ultra-smooth volatile oils make the texture really comfortable.

“Apply little dabs of the Shine-Absorbing Mattifying Foundation onto the shiny areas of the face, then spread with a finger, always working from the inside to the outside of the face.  This foundation suits mixed to oily skins,” says Kaliardos. 

L’Oreal Paris Studio Secrets Professional will be starring in the upcoming series of CLEO Make Me a Makeup Artist, and is available ONLY at your local Priceline or Priceline Pharmacy.
