TOP TIPS: Inject seventies glamour into your makeup routine

Many recent catwalk makeup looks have drawn upon the looks and trends of the hippie seventies, but it can be a rather tricky trend to pull off if you are not a confident make-up applier.

REVIEW: The New Origins wonder cream!!



Origins are back with what I would call- A Wonder Cream!! The Youthtopia Firming Face Cream (£45).

“The way we translate that in the makeup, we have this matte lip juxtaposed with this beautiful dewy sci-fi highlighted skin,” she said. “We wanted it to feel sensual, intoxicating but strong and powerful.” Charlotte Tilbury
