I'm a make-up artist and my hack will stop your sunglasses from rubbing your foundation off your nose for good
WHILE the sun may not be shining today, it won't be long before our sunglasses become a daily essential. And although they are both stylish and practical they come with that all too familiar beauty frustration: the dreaded marks they leave on your nose. 1 But fear not, Revolution Beauty makeup artist Mel Trierweiler shares her top tips for avoiding sunglasses marks this summer. Mel comments, 'There is nothing more frustrating than when your sunglasses leave marks on either side of your nose. 'However, the solution to stop this from happening might be sitting in your makeup bag already.' She recommends applying a bit of loose powder to the bridge of your nose and the inner frame of your sunglasses. This creates a barrier, absorbs excess oil, and keeps your make-up from transferring. Mel continues: 'To avoid those frustrating sunglasses marks a cosmetic baking powder is a great choice. 'It's easy to apply, and can be tapped directly onto your sunglasses frame and the bridge of your nose. 'If you're on the move, using a powder puff or beauty blender makes reapplying simple - no need to use your hands. 'It is also important to clean your sunglasses every morning, as leftover oils can break down your makeup and cause marks.' Mel also recommends applying a setting spray to your beauty blender before dipping into the loose setting powder, as this can add extra grip and a long-lasting hold. Lidl is selling a £2.99 product beauty fans are racing to nab - you don't have to wear foundation AND it contains SPF50 'It instantly locks your look in place and leaves your complexion with a shine-free finish,' she says. How To Save Money On Beauty Buys IF your purse is feeling tighter than ever before and you're looking to save cash on your make-up routine, have you ever thought of trying out beauty dupes? Here are five of the best recommended beauty buys that are almost identical to the posh versions, but at a fraction of the price. FACE BASE If you can't afford Charlotte Tilbury 's £52 Magic Cream, why not try a dupe that costs just £5.49 from Superdrug? TONE IT UP If Drunk Elephant's £62 Protini Cream is out of your price range, you'll need to check out the new dupe in Home Bargains. TINTING IT With Fenty's game-changer skin tint costing £29, a popular supermarket's affordable alternative might just be the thing for you. GET COVERED At £29 for a Tarte concealer, the new Primark dupe is much more affordable at just £3.50. SPRAY YAY For those wanting to smell fresh without the price tag, Aldi's new Prada and Chloe perfume dupes cost a fraction of the price.

This make-up artist approved hack stops sunglasses leaving annoying marks on your nose
It's not even June and we've already been treated to plenty of sunshine, with forecasters predicting a three-month summer scorcher across the UK. So it's no surprise there's been a 140% rise in Google searches for 'sunglasses' in the last month, as Brits look for stylish pairs to protect their eyes from damage. But however trendy the style you shop, there's an eternal issue we all have with specs: the annoying marks they leave on your make-up. You travel to work or dinner with friends, and by the time you arrive, you've got those two little spots on the bridge of your nose where your make-up has entirely rubbed off. Not chic. Until now, we've accepted this as an unavoidable side effect of not blinding ourselves in the sun. (Let's be honest, if we're picking between good make-up and good eyesight, we'd have to plump for the latter.) But thanks to Revolution Beauty make-up artist Mel Trierweiler, we've now learned a quick hack that banishes annoying sunglasses marks for good – and we're passing it on to you. According to Trierweiler, you likely already have the solution in your make-up bag. All you need is a loose powder – translucent or shaded, it doesn't matter – which is essential for keeping greasiness at bay in the summer months. The hack? After applying the powder to your face as usual (with focus on the oily T-zone comprising your nose, cheeks and forehead), grab your sunglasses and apply the loose powder to the inner frames. This will create a barrier on the glasses that absorbs excess oil and make-up, stopping it from transferring when you put them on your nose. Another extra tip? Apply a little setting spray (or hairspray) to your sunglasses using a beauty blender or cotton pad before layering on the powder. Trierweiler recommends Revolution's £10.99 Superfix Misting Setting Spray, which provides some extra grip and helps ensure the oil-absorbing powder stays in place all day. There you have it: a 30-second hack to banish those annoying marks for good. Now all that's left to do is choose which pair of sunnies we'll be investing in this summer. And loll around in the sunshine, obvs.
