Top 10 Beauty Tips

Selfridges Beauty Buying Team is in constant contact with all the major cosmetic and perfumery companies that are famous across the world. As you would expect Selfridges are up to date with the latest tips from the beauty industry and have kindly supplied their choice of top ten:

1. For an instant eye brightener, blend concealer into the outer corner of the eyes. Lightening up the tiny shadows here can wipe away a few years fast
    
2. To make your blush last longer, use a cream blusher then finish with a powder one. Layering it up in two textures means it lasts on the skin rather than fades into it
    
3. De-puff early morning eyes by wiping an ice cube over under eye bags
    
4. When skin needs a quick lift, blend a tiny bit of rosy toned cream blusher onto the centre of the forehead, bridge of the nose and centre of the chin
    
5. For a softer hold, apply hairspray to your hairbrush, and then run it over your hair to avoid a stiff finish
    
6. Apply body toning cream before working out - research shows it helps to boost its effects
    
7. Wake up tired skin with an apricot eye shadow; choose one with a light sheen and use as a wash of colour over the eyelid - it looks great with lashings of black mascara
    
8. When applying mascara to top lashes, use the other hand to slightly lift up the lid so you can get the colour right into the base of the lashes
    
9. To quickly smooth down fluffy frizzy hair, spritz a spray serum onto a wide flat paddle brush and brush through the hair
    
10. Massage face creams into the skin rather than just rubbing them on; high tech active ingredients need to be in the skin, not on it to work.
