The world of television is so new to us that we had to enlist help from our very glamorous presenter friends as to what to wear (block colours, nothing white or with tiny print), what to say (something intelligent, or at least try to), and how to look. Shine is out, we were told, and the camera loves matte, matte, matte (apart from lips, it seems, where copious amounts of gloss were applied by the resident make-up artist. We'll admit we wiped a bit off before going on.)
Luckily, the gorgeous at girls at Revlon had sent us a goody-bag that morning filled with the brand's lastest launches - all of which are matte. Hoorah. So with fingers we dipped into the pans of Matte Eye Shadow, £4.99, and Matte Powder Blush, £7.49, to find the perfect shades. We highly recommend the shadow in Vintage Lace (a pale vanilla) and Aubergine (...erm, aubergine) and the blush in Rose Rapture. (Regular readers will know our penchant for blush with shimmer, but we've been pretty sold on this matte one... for now!)
So having done the basics ourselves we went and sat in the make-up artist's chair for final touch-ups. We especially loved this as we got to have a good nosy round the professional's make-up bag. Lots of MAC, lots of Bobbi Brown, and we spied some Estee Lauder and Rimmel in there too. Our shiny forehead was mopped up with a dusting of MAC Mineralize SkinFinish Natural Powder, £17.13. We suddenly wished we'd brought our Guerlain Pour Homme Terracotta Bronzing Powder, £34 (because it's formulated for men it contains not a hint of shimmer, so looks super natural). Maybe next time.
