We have exclusive access to celebrity make-up artist Lou Page’s make-up tricks from the Brit Awards 2010. She sent over her Fearne Cotton and Alesha Dixon face charts first thing this morning so we can share with you!   Lou says, “Fearne’s look was all about perfect skin, dramatic eyes and statement lips. I recommend using a mineral foundation to even out skin tone and improve skin clarity. I swept her eyelids with a neutral light brown to open up the eyes and complement the heavy black eyeliner and lashings of mascara. Finish with a matte, bang-on-trend red lippy.”   Lou used: MEMEME Long Stay Lips in Ultimate Red, £6.99; MEMEME Radiant Minerals in Nude Perfect, £6.99; Famous Eyeshadow in no,3, £4; MEMEME Fat Cat Mascara, £7.99   “For Alesha, I wanted to focus on her beautiful eyes but keep her look young and fresh by teaming them with bright bubblegum lips. I brightened her cheeks with a tint and highlighter, and finished with gloss – it has a light concealed in the lid so she could apply it anywhere!” SB   Lou used: Famous Eyeshadows in no.17 and no.3, £4 each; MEMEME’s Poppy Tint, £4.99; MEMEME Beat the Blues Highlighter, £4.50; MEMEME Light Me Up Lipgloss in Brilliant, £6.99; Lord & Berry Lipstick in Fuschia Vogue, £9.50
