When we sat down with Trinny to ask her ultimate makeup tips for women, we must say, we were surprised by her innovative answer: "Always use a magnifying mirror. I use a magnifying mirror because I have a daughter who has 20:20 vision and she’ll always say to me, Mummy you’ve got something underneath your eye," she says.
The beauty mogul shared that her secret to stellar makeup application lies within a £19 mirror purchased on Amazon, she details: "A lovely makeup artist gave me this one [Beautifect Magnifying Mirror] and it’s so good, it changes everything."
As for exactly why this makes a worthy addition to your makeup kit, Trinny explains: "It highlights whether you're using the right foundation, what something is doing for you or not [and] the weight of the product on your skin. So, using a magnifying mirror will help you make choices and review, 'is this base right for me', 'is the colour right for me', 'should I be using so much colour on my skin?'"
