Make-up artist Ciara O’Shea gives us her secrets of the trade to achieve the two-minute make-over – yes, just two minutes. 

“If you can only spare two minutes, then it’s essential you prioritise.  Firstly, use a radiance enhancing moisturiser: instantly your skin will look fresher and brighter.  The next step is to lightly conceal any redness, especially around the eye and nose.  Finally, curl your lashes and pop on a pretty, easy-to-apply lip colour.  I love Estée Lauder’s Double Wear; the textures are divine and the hold is bullet proof.” Ciara O’Shea, Make-up Artist, Ciaradoesmakeup.com.
