Hi Gina,

I was wondering if you can advise me on getting the best out of Kryolan TV paint sticks. I use these on brides and they work very well buy tend to struggle if the bride has acne or blemishes etc, What is the best colour combination for blemishes and spots etc and the best way of using this wonderful range. I am UK based.

I thank you so much in advance

I use color correctors by The Body Shop that come in shades of green and yellow to correct any red or blue/black pigmentation.. after this I use a deeply pigmented concealer. Makeup Forever concealers are fantastic for heavy coverage.

The color combinations depend on the skintone and personally I like the yellow-based ones better.

I blend with either my fingers or a silicone-tipped brush by MAC. Sponges make the makeup look streaky and absorb most of the foundation.
