Bec's Beauty xxx
Our favourite beauty girl, Beck, gives us a few fab tips for looking fine this summer…

Fav products for Qld girls (that won’t melt off your face!) …‘Latona’s Oil free foundation’ $55.00 amazing amazing!! avail @ Latona’s, Waverly Brisbane. ‘Skin02 Mineral makeup’ avail @ Ella Bache

Lip colour must-have….CORAL CORAL and more!! ‘Niagara’ by Nars is the perfect shade of peach to go with any little summer dress. For nighty night time BLACK is back my friends dark lipstick looks amazing with dress get up and barely there eyes! Look out for MAC’s new line coming soon with black lip liner, black lip gloss crazy!!!

The perfect fake tan….The perfect tan and the ONLY tan i swear by is ‘Asyana’ (available through me! ph 0430 413 531) it is completely organic, non-orange, dries straight away and is a treatment for the skin!! Yummo

My best kept beauty secret…Clear eyes!!! Banish tired, red eyes with a drop of clear eyes prior to mkup application. It whitens and brightens the eye and leaves them totally refreshed!

Best makeup trend for blondes….Blondes look amazing with a nude eye, a hint of peach to cheek and hot red lip!!
Brunettes….I love a good smokey strong eye (think kardashian style) and a soft lip. Brunettes can carry a strong eye no matter what skin tone.
Redheads….I love using bronzes, coppers and emeralds on eyes, cooler tones look amazing to really make the hair colour pop!!Reds are so hot right now!

Most disasterous beauty blunder….a few months ago trying a new colourist!! She over toned my blonde locks I was a lovely shade of steel grey!! I left and cried… then had it fixed immediately!

Fail safe make up trick….always apply eyeshadow with your eye open!! Sounds simple but a lot of people dont. It allows you to get the right shape and blend your eyeshadow up onto the brow bone as well as the lid so your makeup will really stand out!

After a big night, how do we look fabulous for a 8am work start? Ha,ha – CLEAR EYES, a fake tan the night before!! and a hydrating spritz like MAC fixative spray!!!

A beauty secret we can share with our boys… A beauty secret you can share with your boys is a good one for dry lips!! Lather lips with balm and then press a hot face cloth on lips for a couple of mins it exfoliates away the dead skin and even plumps them up a bit so they look totally kissable!!!

If you love beautiful Beck’s advice as much as we do, you can book in locally (Bris/GC) for a beauty spurlge…..
