Makeup: The Sunday Times Bestseller and practical step-by-step guide to makeup and beauty from much-loved makeup artist Hannah Martin

Product Information

I’ve spoken to young people and shown them how to do various bits of make-up in a way I feel is more flattering. Often, young people are copying what they’ve seen online, but they don’t necessarily recognize it’s not as flattering on them as the person they saw do it. So I think it can be helpful if you can teach and coach there’s a way to do things that’s still impactful and cool, but maybe look a bit more natural.

6 Things You Need To Know About Hannah Martin’s Skincare

I always ask my brides to show me pictures of makeup looks that they like to help me understand better the kind of look they’re after on their wedding day. All too often I’m shown pictures of people with completely different colouring and features so I’ve learnt to ask my brides, alongside these inspiration images, to show me a picture of themselves that they really like so together we can identify what exactly made them feel most beautiful and incorporate that into their wedding day look. 2. Prioritise your skin Other things that can be handy are mints (again, champagne and nerves can play havoc with your breath!), a hanky (tissues can disintegrate on the face and even worse, get in your eyes and cause them to stream but a little dab of a handkerchief prevents that), an atomiser with your favourite fragrance - it’s always nice to have a little fragrance spruce! 6. Avoid using a foundation with SPF My son was five before my daughter came along and from the age of two he was playing with whatever make-up he found lying around, and instead of chastising him for that, I actively encouraged it. I didn’t want him to grow up with any gender stereotypical, ‘I’m a boy, therefore I mustn’t like make-up’. If he wanted to grow up wearing make-up, I’d be ok with that.With 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, Hannah Martin’s makeup talents are widely recognised amongst Royals, credited by celebrities, and have been witnessed on runways.

Make-Up - Grazia Daily How To Talk To Children About Make-Up - Grazia Daily

Often I’ll show young people photos and say, ‘Look at Jennifer Lawrence and how glowing and fresh her skin is and how natural her brows are’. Parents have a bit of responsibility where make-up is a debate - have a look what’s out there. If you’re worried about the styles your children are emulating, maybe look on social media and see if there’s someone’s style you like and direct them that way, rather than just telling them you don’t like what they’re doing, or what they’re doing is wrong.

Name: 

When you think of some of the biggest influencers in beauty at the moment, like James Charles and Mmmmitchell, these are young men saying to other guys and girls you can do whatever you want. Society is so much more accepting of that. Look at someone like Mario Dedivanovic, he’s been so open about his journey and how he walked into Sephora and couldn’t recognize what that feeling was, but he recognized it as being inspiration. He’s now one of the world’s leading make-up artists with his own line. So there are a lot of male, aspirational make-up artists who I think are really encouraging those who want to explore make-up and they will feel like they can because there are other people out there who are doing it. For young guys now who love make up, thankfully there are loads of people out there to aspire to and be trained by virtually. Take them to the beauty counter One morning, as I was going through my usual makeup routine I started to really think about what I was doing: was I using the right moisturiser before my foundation? Was I applying concealer that made my fine lines look worse? Is there another way I can define my brows without painstakingly drawing on tiny hairlike lines? It then occurred to me that maybe I should ask a professional rather than just hoping someday the answers would magically pop into my head. So that's exactly what I did.
