The new romantics by Mel S

We all know at least one romantic at heart – the girl with the starlight in her eyes who has her head in the clouds and seems to glow from within. Take a leaf from your daydreaming friend and look flushed with love with rosy cheeks, just-kissed lips, dewy eyes and tousled locks.

The first step
Step one to looking like a lady in love is to get the foundation right – we mean this literally. Try an all-in-one product like this, which is a primer, concealer, and foundation in one, for an overall flawless look. Apply small quantities, dabbing it on to your T-zone, cheeks, and jawline before blending with a sponge. Don’t forget your neck, though – there’s nothing as horrid as a face-full of heavy, cakey makeup while your neck is a different colour!

Getting touchy
Have tempting touch-me skin by always applying body lotion after a shower. This moisturising body lotion, delectably named ‘Amber Romance’, will leave your skin happy and hydrated while leaving a delicate scent, conjuring images of a passionate love affair by the beach at sunset. Have we got an over-active imagination? Probably; but a girl can dream, no?

Shine on
Add some shimmer and shine to your body with a couple of spritzes of the lotion’s accompanying body mist. Light and suitable for muggy evenings and hot days, the body mist will leave a light yet distinct fragrance. For an added boost, spray some into your hair, as it holds fragrance relatively well.
