Using an eye base before you apply your Eyeshadow will help reduce any creases.
Try Mavala's Eye Base moisturizing base that makes the eye make-up last longer while protecting the delicate skin of the eyelid. It fixes make-up, gives a luminous appearance and enhances colour.

If you use a powder that has a matt finish, your skin can look a little dull and signs of ageing can be highlighted. You can use an iridescent blusher, or even a lipstick gently bended in, to bring life and luminosity to the skin.
When applying your foundation, try to add one drop of Skin Vitality Healthy Glow Serum to reveal a light and more luminous complexion.

There are several factors that impact how well a lipstick will stay on, including how dry your lips are, but equally, there are several ways to make it stay put for longer:
Apply a lip base under your lipstick. This will not only protect your lips, but also enhance the shine and hold of your lipstick.
Draw a line around your lip line with Mavala Lip Contour Pencil and fill it in to give a perfect application of lipstick without any smudges.
After applying a first coat of lipstick, lightly apply powder over lips to fix the lipstick and then proceed with applying a second coat of lipstick.

Dry skin is a skin which does not produce enough sebum (or lipids). Its barrier function is impaired, leading to a moisture loss and greater vulnerability to harmful environmental factors. The skin becomes fragile, thinner and ages prematurely. It lacks oiliness and needs to be nourished and replenished with lipids. Try our NUTRI-ELIXIR skincare range, rich in linseed oil with a high composition of omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids, it helps maintain skin elasticity, suppleness and density.
Dehydrated skin lacks moisture (or water). It feels tight and wrinkles appear prematurely. Less protected by a thinner cutaneous barrier, it is more reactive and more likely to redden. It can feel simultaneously dry and oily and show small pimples and blackheads. It needs to be rehydrated and reinfused with moisture. Try our AQUA PLUS skincare range, concentrated in pure Hyaluronic Acids to infuse skin with moisture.
