LIPSTICKS
“I chose these lipsticks because
I wanted colours that worked
on different skin tones,
but I also wanted the lipsticks to have
undertones you could
mix with a concealer
– allowing you to do so
much with this edit.”
MACSTACK MASCARA
"Having huge lashes, I used to worry about mascara imprinting onto my eyelids
but MACStack is the best. It's a fabulous product, it has a weighted component so it
makes someone with hands as big as mine find it totally easy.”
EYESHADOW PALETTE
"I really just wanted to have
a celebration of the
trans flag, but also wanted to share with
people
new ways of using eyeshadow."
BRUSHSTROKE LINER
"I had hooded eyes as a child, so
I was unable to get eyeliners to dry
before they would imprint onto my eyelids.
The fast-drying line is a classic.
I use it as a liner, but also for my brows.”
STUDIO FIX FLUID
"This is one of the best products that i've been
purchasing for years! The oil
absorption in the
formula works for
me becuase i can layer it over primer
and under a powder, to really
diffuse skin texture
If you want more
luminescence, I use it with Strobe Cream.
It's the base with all options covered.”

For example, under the eyes, pink tones even out green tones; and for your beard, blue tones are countered by orange tones.
- STEP 02.CONTOURUsing the paler tones to sculpt the features, take the concealer up against the nose to create a symmetrical line each side, then use darker shades along the outside edges of your face, in the hollows of the cheeks and temples.
- STEP 03.ACE YOUR BASENext, use a base foundation matched to your skin and blend through.
- STEP 04.SHADOW & LIGHTApply Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NW10 under the eyes to emphasise brightness, bringing it against the line of the nose; then set with Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder to minimise shine.
