Best face forward

Get that healthy glow
We all love a bit of highlighter but a soft sheen looks nicer. Highlighter in the wrong places and with the wrong texture can make you look sweaty, instead of making you glow. TARTE Amazonian Clay 12-hour Highlighter leaves skin looking perfectly radiant. TIP: Avoid applying highlighter down the centre of your face. Stick to the upper cheekbones and/or apples of the cheeks for a healthy glow.

Fuzz-free
Achieving a flawless finish may be tricky when you have facial hair. I believe electrolysis is the best option for permanent hair removal. I recently tried FURLESS clinic and I'm hooked! You only need a handful of sessions, it's painless and leaves your skin silky smooth. SPECIAL OFFER: I've partnered up with Furless (www.furless-me.com) to give you a special discount! Just use the code FURLESS NINA to book appointments and get up to 35% off, depending on how many sessions you book!  

Shine bright
I'm obsessed with how amazing this makes your skin look! Marc Jacobs Beauty has created something magical. The Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter leaves skin with a sparkling yet subtle golden sheen. It can be used all over your body for a Mediterranean goddess look. TIP: Mix it with your foundation for a beautiful tropical sheen.

Tried & tested: skin peel
So far, I've had four sessions of Glycolic Peel and must say it's the best treatment to smooth skin. It's not as scary as it sounds and works wonders with congested skin. Doing the treatments in the evening allows skin to recover and breathe. You can apply makeup the next day, but you'll notice you need less makeup, which is great!

Cream blush
For a rosy, radiant finish, try a cream blush with a glow rather than a matte finish. TIP: Apply foundation, then use a beauty blender to dab some cream blush to the apples of your cheeks. Finish with a very light dusting of powder to set. You'll notice your skin has a more colourful glow. Lancome Cushion Blush in Sorbet Grenadine looks fab on the skin and suits any skin colour.

Mask it
If you suffer from acne or congested skin, a good mask a few times a week can do the trick. Glamglow Super Mud Clearing Treatment helps to draw out the impurities and clear up your skin. You can also use this on targeted areas, rather than on the whole face.
