For this reason it’s crucial to have yourself makeup ready beforehand.
Using long-wearing products can help you to maintain that flawless look for the duration of the day, whether you’re being snapped from the FROW or making your way to the next runway show.

Firstly your base - a natural but long wearing foundation is ideal for a busy day, the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation Compact (£33.00) is perfect as a base, providing you with ‘your skin but better’ look for the duration of the day.
To perk up your complexion and to make you look bright eyed and bushy tailed, follow your foundation with a concealer one or two shades lighter than your skin tone, not only is this a great trick to hide ‘tired eyes’ it also looks great in photographs. The MAC Cosmetics Pro Longwear Concealer (£17.00) is a great option.

Moving on to the eyes. Simple is sometimes better, especially if you have a long day ahead. Eyeliner and mascara with an eye brightener is a sure fire way to creating an effortless eye look.
To ensure your eyeliner stays all day and to rid yourself of panda eyes use the Benefit They’re Real Push Up Liner (£18.50). The slated applicator makes applying your eyeliner a dream and the formula does not budge. Create a longer and thicker wing for a more dramatic look or keep it subtle with no flick.
For lashes – go waterproof! Maybelline The Falsies mascara (£7.99) elongates your lashes whilst the waterproof formula ensures your lashes stay looking at their best all day. You can also pop and eye brightener pencil on your waterline for a more doe eyed look, the NYX Cosmetics Wonder Pencil (£4.50) comes in three shades and works on all skin tones acting as a brightener that isn’t too stark.
For cheeks try the Daniel Sandler Watercolour Fluid Blushers (£7.75 - £15.50) these fluid blushers leave you with the most natural flush of colour whilst remaining water resistant and smudge proof on the skin.

To bring dimension and glow back to your face use the Sleek Face Form Palette (£10.00). This palette can not only help you produce killer cheek bones, the highlighter will also provide you with a gorgeous glow in photographs.
As the eyes are pretty simple you can bring drama with your lipstick. A fail safe option is MAC Cosmetics Ruby Woo Lipstick (£15.50). The matte finish ensures this stunning red lippie lasts ALL DAY!

Last but not least - help to refresh dry skin throughout the day by carrying a bottle of Mario Badescu Facial Spray in Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater 118ml (£6.95) to use as a facial spritz to rehydrate you during shows. If you have oily skin, use the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder (£33.00) lightly throughout the day to rid yourself of excess oil.
