Caroline shared her tips on creating the ‘Sports Chic’ beauty look:
Start with a flawless, glowing base by using Max Factor Lasting Performance Foundation. To perfect blemishes where you need extra coverage or for top up perfection, use Max Factor Miracle Touch Foundation

Next, use Max Factor Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel to add definition to your brow. The brush on the end will help shape your brows and remove any excess foundation

Use Max Colour Effect Trio Eye-shadow in Coco Crazy to play with light and dark tones. Place the darkest tone in the socket for wide eyes, or underneath the lower lashes to make small eyes bigger

Gorgeous isn't it?
Caroline did a fabulous demo and has created a look that is really easy to achieve, even though she is still desperately trying to show me where my cheekbones are!!! Even after all these years looking in the mirror, I still can't find them!!
So what do you think to Sports Chic? I am going to create it at home soon and I'll show you.
