// Get Cheeky! 🌟 Gloss & Ink’s Top Cream Blush Picks //

One of the quickest and easiest ways to perk up your complexion is to add a stick blush to your make up bag. They last longer than powder blush and give a pretty dewy glow. Simply dot onto apples of cheeks and use fingertips to blend along cheekbones, up towards your hairline. You can even these use on lips and eyes too. Layer them up to build colour.

My top 3 picks are…

Best For Day: 1. Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm, £24�I love the shade Robust Rhubarb for instant summer vibes, but there are lots to choose from in the range. This creamy, mistake-proof cheek colour creates a healthy-looking glow in an instant.

Best For Night: 2. Hourglass Vanish Blush Stick, £45
Great for evening make-up, this silky cream-to-powder formula blends seamlessly into skin for a natural pop of colour, while blurring the look of pores for a flawless finish. I love their shade ‘Devoted’.

Best For Holiday: 3. Nars The Multiple, £33
Nars is super famous for their blushers, and their versatile sticks are no exception. This sheer, light-weight stick of colour is brilliant to take on holiday as you want your make up to be fresh, luminous and effortless. The sheerness also makes these a great option for those who don’t usually wear much make up.

// Blade & Shade Combination Brow: Jessica //

To wake up each day with eyebrows that give beautiful eye-framing definition was the aim of the game for Jessica. We used a combination of microbladed hairstrokes through the front to keep a soft and fluffy look, blended into shading through the rest of the brow.

Brows heal softer and lighter following treatment.

Results last 9-18 months depending on skin type.

// Microblading: Natalie //

Ok, hands up if you’re guilty of over plucking. That’s most of us then!

Natalie has been thinking about microblading to restore her over plucked brows for a very long time. Today she took the plunge with her first microblading session and we were both thrilled with the results.

Look at how the microbladed hair strokes blend seamlessly with Natalie’s own brow hairs for an ultra natural effect. I love how her brows frame her eyes!

// Eyes Wide Open 👁 Gloss & Ink’s Top Mascara Picks //

I don’t know about you, but mascara is one of my desert island products that I can’t live without. As a contact lens wearer, it makes me even more discerning about finding the perfect one.

Repurchased more times than I can count is Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara (£25). It is the ultimate icon when it comes to mascara. The brush helps separate and lengthen lashes brilliantly. It’s a buildable mascara so you can layer it up without it clumping.

Lancôme sometimes sells a gift set with mini version of its other more dramatic mascaras which is great for evening eyes: Hypnôse Doll Eyes, Hypnôse Volume-à-Porter and Hypnôse Drama. Your very own mascara wardrobe!

// Microblading: Karolina //

Filing gaps and refining the brow shape is easily achieved with microblading. Who doesn’t want to wake up with gorgeously groomed brows each morning?!
