Daniel Sandler Tips


Base for Every Face

Daniel Sandler Bases, perfect for when your skin needs a little evening out.

Liquid Bases are definitely best. They blend well and give a natural finish, especially when applied with a makeup brush.

How the Pros do it
At the Daniel Sandler Makeup Studio we choose 3 shades that are closest to your skin tone and apply them in 3 stripes along the jaw line, before checking them under natural light. Don’t be afraid to go outside and walk around before deciding. The most invisible is your perfect Base and your new best friend!

Daniel Recommends:
If you already have good skin and are simply looking for a naturally polished finish, my Wash of Colour Base gives dewiness and prairie-fresh glow.

To even out flaws and blemishes, my Perfect Canvas Base perfects and covers, leaving a velvety smooth finish.

With a choice of 21 different colours in both Perfect Canvas and Wash of Colour, we aim to have a Daniel Sandler Base for every face.

Daniel Sandler Tip:
Maximise your Base by preparing your skin first with Daniel Sandler Retexturising Face Primer to lock in your Base.

 

Concealer

Daniel Sandler Concealers, take cover in an emergency.

The best concealers are light reflecting with a little bit of yellow tone to neutralise the blue tinge that most people have around the inner corner of their eye.

How the Pros do it
Apply with a fine brush similar to a lip brush to the darkest area. Blend (don't drag) with your middle finger and wipe away any excess with a cotton bud. Go easy on powder here as it will enhance fine lines.

Daniel Recommends:
For heavy duty camouflage of spots and imperfections choose my Knock It On The Head, or Hide It for light, fresh coverage of dark circles and uneven skin tone.

Daniel Sandler Tip:
Rehydrate your concealer with a brush dipped in a little moisturizer

 

On the Loose

Daniel Sandler Super Powders without the huff and puff. All-over shimmer can flatten and hide the contours of your face so non-shimmery powders are best, and save highlighter for accentuating certain areas such as cheek and brow bones.

How the Pros do it
Dip a large brush into powder then shake gently before sweeping over your face in light downward strokes. If you prefer a powder puff, dip it in the powder, shake off excess then use a gentle rolling action to press it over your face. Use the lightest touch when applying powder, especially around the eyes, there’s nothing more age-ing than a floury face!

Daniel Recommends:
With 30 non-shimmery shades to partner your chosen base, my On The Loose is the perfect finishing powder for every look.

Daniel Sandler Tip:
To lock in lip colour, dust a little powder around your mouth before applying your lipstick or gloss

 

Chic Cheeks

Daniel Sandler Blush the cheek of it.

Everyone looks younger with a little colour in their face, so always have 3 shades in your bag. One should be a nude shade to contour under the cheek bone, one rosy to give a fresh glow in the apple of your cheeks, and one shade to highlight your cheekbones.

How the Pros do it
Smile and apply Blush to the apple of the cheeks. If you have a slightly round face then just sweep the brush up and outwards towards your hairline.

Daniel Recommends:

My unique Award Winning Watercolour fluid blush comes in 12 flattering shades. Two drops from the dinky squeezy bottle is just enough.

Daniel says: “I created Watercolour fluid blusher for women for two reasons: Firstly, bronzing sticks and most cream formulas start off looking sensational but they wear off too quickly and you need to re-apply. Secondly, liquid or gel cheek stains have been a nightmare to blend as they dry so quickly, even for me as a professional, and the shades are very limited.

With Watercolour you can say goodbye to those problems as it not only gives you amazing cheeks that last all day long but they’re also a dream to apply, and with 12 divine shades to suit all skin tones you’re guaranteed to look your most beautiful 24/7.”

Daniel Sandler Pressed Blush is great for those with normal skin or those prone to the odd pimple (it won’t highlight the blemish).

Daniel Sandler Tip:
Calm over-use of blusher by sweeping a little powder over cheeks.

 

Eyes Queen

Daniel Sandler Pyramid Colour System to take you from doe to Monroe Three shades are all you need for beautiful eyes; a highlighter, a mid-tone and a dark shade for accentuating eye shape.

Daniel Recommends:
My Pyramid Colour System is designed to make life easy. Simply find a pyramid with a shade similar to something you already use, and you can feel confident that all the other shades in that pyramid will also work in with your look. This is the perfect way to update your makeup bag without taking a risk - you’re simply refining what you already do and giving your makeup wardrobe a new lease of life.

Of course, there are times when only dramatic eyes will do, so for these occasions try my Special Effects Shadows; Eye Love It (a waterproof cream to powder formula) and Eye Delight (a micro-fine loose shimmer powder) to create show-stopping eyes, whatever your age.

How the Pros do it
Apply the lightest shade over the lid up to the brow as a base. The mid-tone then goes in the socket and under the eye close to the lashes and slightly blended out and up towards the temple area. Then the darkest shade is applied close to the upper and lower lashline.

Daniel Sandler Tip:
To help eyeshadow stay on longer and blend effortlessly, dust your eye lids with a little loose powder before applying any colour

 

Lashing Out

Mascara made for smashing lashes

Mascara accentuates your eyes with beautiful, fluttery lashes and is one of the most important items in your makeup bag

Daniel Recommends:
For seriously thick, luscious lashes, look no further than my Lush Mascara in black, black and black. I don’t believe in any other shade of mascara, day or night, you simply don’t need it! For flirty, daywear lashes my Jet Mascara adds length and condition with a natural finish.

How the Pros do it
Curl your lashes and apply mascara to the top lashes paying particular attention to the outer edge to help open up the eye. Add a little to your lower lashes for definition.

Daniel Sandler Tip:
To open up your eyes when you need a bit of extra help, run a little of my Eye Brightening Pencil around the inside of your eye.

 

Lipstickety Boo

Daniel Sandler lipsticks, glosses and liners for a pout to shout about

The perfect lip colour is an instant tonic that can take you from natural to glamorous with a slick of the lips.

Luxury Lipstick
With a Folic acid lip plumping formula and ultra-moisturising hyaluronic acid, these are hydrating; long-lasting, glamorous lip colours which glide on effortlessly. The colour will stay true throughout the day.

Daniel Recommends:
Models and celebrities love the kissable finish that you get with lip gloss, which is why my range has four different formulas and so many shades. My all time favourite is my Line N' Lacquer Duo, for the definition of liner with the freshness of gloss. My High Impact Lipstick is perfect when you need a sophisticated finish.

How the Pros do it
For a modern, fresh pout, rub your favourite shade onto your lips using your middle finger, then smudge on a little balm.

Daniel Sandler Tip:
Plump up lips by apply a little foundation underneath your lip colour

 

Mechanics of Beauty

New Makeup Brushes from Daniel Sandler

Professional brushes usually have long handles and are a pain to fit into your bag or purse, Daniel Sandler brushes are designed to not take up too much room. For the price, you’re getting a terrific brush that easily compares to more expensive brands of the same quality.

Certain makeup formulas need synthetic hair for great results. Wet products such as foundation and fluid blushers work better with synthetic (Daniel only uses Taklon in his) whereas pressed eye shadows and pressed powder blushers go on more evenly when using natural hair.

Daniel Recommends:
I also love my Rub It Out Makeup Corrector Pen for touching up smudges or smears without having to start again from scratch.

How the Pros do it
By regularly washing your brushes, you can avoid breakouts, allergies and a buildup of bacteria.

Daniel Sandler Tip:
Wash your brushes once a week with baby shampoo and stand upright in your drying cupboard overnight
