Pablo's 4 Top Products

Skin Base
Concealer Pen

'Perfect coverage without being too heavy and I like that the shades are peach based to cancel out any cold undertones under the eyes.'

Precision
Brow Gel

'They are great to create any eyebrow looks, from thick and fluffy to super sharp.'

Experimental Eyeshadow Palette

'You have all the purest pigments you need to transform any eye look. Amazing to go super creative with bright colours, or to use it as a mixer to revamp your existing basic ones.'

Smoulder Eyeshadow
Brush

'Perfect size for fixing any mistakes, from smudging eyeliner to softening eyebrows, or to build up the perfect stained lip. I like having more than one of these in my kit.'

Pablo's Pro Top Tips

HYDRA VEIL PRIMER SECRET

‘I like using Hydra Veil as a face mask to restore moisture on the skin. On clean skin, apply a thick layer of Hydra Veil using a flat Foundation brush. Leave on for 15 or 20 minutes, then remove with a tissue or dry wash cloth. If you keep it in the fridge, it is very cooling and calming for cases of sunburnt, and a great holiday treat.’

EYE POPPING TRICK

‘A good base for your eye lids is the trick to a eye popping look. I sometimes use our Brow Gels as a creme eye shadow, blend it all over the eyelid before I put any Powder Eye Shadow and that will make it more long lasting and the colour more intense.'
