#CHMReview – MAX FACTOR MASTERPIECE “WATERPROOF” VOLUME & DEFINITION

by Chase Aston, Make Up Artist

MAX FACTOR MASTERPIECE "WATERPROOF" VOLUME & DEFINITION
£9.99p   www.boots.com

This classic mascara is always one of my Pro-Kit staples. I always this on photo shoots, videos, film , and on location in hot climates.

The wand grips the lashes perfectly, ensuring full and even coverage from the base of the lash to the tips, ensuring perfect definition and amazing volume, whilst the Waterproof format ensures no budging, smudging or transfer.

Follow these simple steps to ensure fabulous lashes:using an eyelash curler, place at the root of the lashes and squeeze, then gently draw through lashes and squeeze again, this will ensure  wide awake , fanned lash look.

Then take an eyelash comb and comb through lashes to separate lashes, this will help to avoid lashes clumping

Now take the mascara wand, and place at the base of the lashes, then zig zag the wand side to side as you draw the wand up and through the lashes to the tips, repeat for desired lash effect

#CHMReview - Must haves for Pro kit, by Chase Aston

My top 3 Pro-Kit Make Up must have's that I always use on my Fashion and Beauty shoots, Film and the Red Carpet, to ensure long lasting, flawless Make Up looks.

1: To set foundation and ensure the complexion is picture perfect, whilst remaining shine free, radiant and naturally flawless, I always use MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder (£22.50) once  you have applied your foundation/concealer , take a large powder brush and lightly buff all over the face & neck to set.

2: To set make up, hydrate and moisturise the face & neck, I always use MAKE UP FOREVER Mist & Fix O2 Setting Spray (£19.00) this fine mist ensures your complexion radiates, make up is smudge proof , moisturised and protects from the environment.
Easy to use, once you have applied your foundation/concealer, lightly spritz this fine mist onto the face and neck, and allow to fully absorb, then powder as usual. Then apply your Make-Up as normal, once you have finished applying your make up look, take the setting spray and lightly spritz all over face & neck again, for a natural, flawless, photo finish professional look.

3: Bold, handsome , shaped, shaded, defined and elongated brows are the most consistent make up trend that feature every season on the runways. The "Brow" adds balance and shape to the face, compliments both a nude or glamorous  red lip look, and is the perfect partner for either the "barely there" or sexy smokey eye.  To create the perfect brow I always use THE BROW SCULPTOR by Tom Ford (£35.00) use this brow pencil for precision and definition, and the brush at the other end to brush and shape brows and keep unruly hairs in there place:-)
