Tip of the Day: 06.09.2019

As we move towards the season of slightly heavier, more groomed make-up, are you on Team Brushes or Team Fingers? For Chanel make-up artist Lucia Pica, it's all about the fingers. 'To me, using fingers is more organic and instinctive. The moment you use a brush, it becomes too precise, too "made-up." I like to use different fingers for different techniques; the thumb is ideal for sweeping colour from the inner corner of the eyes, along the crease; the ring finger is best placed for applying concealer under the eyes and is also the perfect shape for highlighting cheekbones. I use the index finger to apply shimmer onto the eyes; it has a tendency to drop when applied with a brush.'
