A new makeup routine every week, products I really use and picks for every skin tone.

Routine videos

PrepMoisturiser and primerGive the moisturiser two minutes to sink in; primer grips much better on top.

BaseLight foundation, only where you need itCentre of the face outwards, pressed in with a damp sponge.

EyesOne shadow and a thin linerStart at the lash line and lift the flick towards the end of your brow.

LipsLiner first, then a nude lipstickFill the whole lip with liner and the lipstick lasts far longer.

SetTranslucent powder and setting sprayPowder on the T-zone only; spray from about 20 cm away.

Every product name and shade is in the "My bag" highlight on Instagram.

How do I find my undertone?

Check the veins on your wrist in daylight: mostly green means warm, purple-blue means cool, a mix of both means neutral.

What do you suggest for fair skin?

A low-shimmer pink blush and a dusty rose lip. Pick your own foundation shade, not one lighter, and match it to your neck.

And for olive or medium skin?

Peach blush with bronze and gold shadows. For nudes, go for caramel-pink shades rather than browns; they keep the face looking fresh.

And for deep skin?

Terracotta or berry blush, copper shadow, a deep nude or plum lip. An orange-toned corrector hides under-eye darkness much better.

The liner trick finally worked for me

With the tape trick both eyes matched on the first go. I watched the video at half speed.
