Fresh from making up Victoria Beckham that morning, Valeria Ferreira met with Bazaar to share some of the secrets she usually reserves for her A-list clientele (her other London-based regulars include Jenna Coleman, Lily James and Rosamund Pike). As the La Mer UK make-up artist ambassador, Ferreira’s approach is very much skin first, make-up-with-skincare-benefits second. With the impending threat of silly season hitting our faces with the booze bloat, breakouts and tired eyes, we asked her how to party-proof our skin and mask those inevitable signs of having toogood a time. Try this strategy throughout December to cheat a fresh face.

“I love using my hands to stimulate the skin. The face is full of muscles; you need to move them like you would the rest of your body. It also helps with congestion. You can drain fluids with your knuckles when applying serums or creams. It works – it’s like when you have water retention in your legs, think of moving the fluid down and out.”
