Makeup: The Sunday Times Bestseller and practical step-by-step guide to makeup and beauty from much-loved makeup artist Hannah Martin

Product Information

My son was five before my daughter came along and from the age of two he was playing with whatever make-up he found lying around, and instead of chastising him for that, I actively encouraged it. I didn’t want him to grow up with any gender stereotypical, ‘I’m a boy, therefore I mustn’t like make-up’. If he wanted to grow up wearing make-up, I’d be ok with that. Hailed as the queen of radiant skin and smoky eye tutorials on YouTube, she's now bringing you the ultimate guide to flawless makeup in her new book MAKEUP. Teaching you how to master everyday looks and special occasion glamour with step by step guides and photography, Hannah's guide gives you the knowledge you need to perfect your makeup applications and boost your confidence. I’ve always encouraged make-up play. Some people I’ve met have grown up thinking make-up is taboo or vain or frivolous and I don’t want them to grow up with and negative connotations towards make-up.

The brush hair is thinner and tapered at the tips, allowing them to perfectly glide across the skin.With 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, Hannah Martin’s makeup talents are widely recognised amongst Royals, credited by celebrities, and have been witnessed on runways. Known for her warm and approachable attitude to beauty, her tips & tutorials are always sought after and respected by her loyal followers. I’ve spoken to young people and shown them how to do various bits of make-up in a way I feel is more flattering. Often, young people are copying what they’ve seen online, but they don’t necessarily recognize it’s not as flattering on them as the person they saw do it. So I think it can be helpful if you can teach and coach there’s a way to do things that’s still impactful and cool, but maybe look a bit more natural. Makeup artist to the stars Hannah Martin has 15 years experience in the beauty industry. Working her magic on everything from editorial shoots to catwalks she has worked with some powerhouse names in the industry including L'Oreal Paris, Cle de Peau Beaute, and SpaceNK. One morning, as I was going through my usual makeup routine I started to really think about what I was doing: was I using the right moisturiser before my foundation? Was I applying concealer that made my fine lines look worse? Is there another way I can define my brows without painstakingly drawing on tiny hairlike lines? It then occurred to me that maybe I should ask a professional rather than just hoping someday the answers would magically pop into my head. So that's exactly what I did. This selection of vegan brushes containssynthetic fibres that have been designed to be perfectly straight and firm, allowing precise and detailed application.

Face: 1x Blush Brush, 1x Highlight Brush, 1x Powder Brush, 1x Bronzer Brush, 1x Flat Concealer Brush, 1x Cream Blender Brush Most brides have a few months at least to plan their weddings (current circumstances have thrown this into question for some, I know) but self-care, especially skincare is particularly important. Some brides focus so much on the makeup that they neglect the canvas. It’s a great opportunity to help get your skin into condition so your makeup sits flawlessly on the big day. The greatest thing anyone can do for their skin is drink a lot of water. That’s right-you don’t have to spend hundreds of pounds on fancy treatments; drinking straight water does wonders for your skin. Then getting into good habits like exfoliating regularly and feeding your skin with serums (I love Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair) under your moisturiser will also help. Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base is the perfect makeup base for your big day. 3. Don’t do anything new in the days prior to the wedding If you’re concerned, take your child to a department store where they can get some advice. Throughout my career at Bobbi Brown I met loads of people who said, ‘I first started using Bobbi Brown when my mum brought me to the make-up counter at 15’. That can be great at diffusing a situation – rather than saying, ‘Your eyeliner’s too heavy! Your foundation’s too dark!’ Take them to the place they love the most, the beauty hall, and get the make-up artist to speak to them. Most make-up artists are clued in that if a parent brings a child in, it’s probably because they want some advice. I think sometimes young people would take it better coming from a make-up artist, rather than a parent. Take yourself out of the equation. Often I’ll show young people photos and say, ‘Look at Jennifer Lawrence and how glowing and fresh her skin is and how natural her brows are’. Other things that can be handy are mints (again, champagne and nerves can play havoc with your breath!), a hanky (tissues can disintegrate on the face and even worse, get in your eyes and cause them to stream but a little dab of a handkerchief prevents that), an atomiser with your favourite fragrance - it’s always nice to have a little fragrance spruce! 6. Avoid using a foundation with SPF

Parents have a bit of responsibility where make-up is a debate - have a look what’s out there. If you’re worried about the styles your children are emulating, maybe look on social media and see if there’s someone’s style you like and direct them that way, rather than just telling them you don’t like what they’re doing, or what they’re doing is wrong. Help boys interested in make up by introducing them to some of the biggest male make-up stars around My daughter loves it, she’s got a wooden playset, a few old bits of mine and she enjoys putting it on herself and me. But I make it really clear this is playtime – I don’t want to instill in her an idea that she (or mummy) has to wear make-up to beautiful, I spend a lot of time make-up free. But I make it fun if we’re playing, it’s creative, escapism time when we’re doing it. Make sure children understand that they are beautiful no matter what…
