What happened when Max Factor met Beaut.ie readers for a dream makeover?

A little while back, we asked our readers to join us and Max Factor for a dream makeover.

We wanted you to tell us how makeup makes you feel, because when you look good, you feel good, and when you know you look good, you feel amazing. Our readers know that makeup should not be about transforming a person, it should be about enhancing your best features. Makeup can be that little touch that ups your confidence and gives you a boost.

New mum Melissa and nurse Yvonne were two Beaut.ie readers who took the challenge and won the chance to meet Max Factor makeup artist Lyndsay Cavanagh for a once-in-a-lifetime personalised makeover.

Lyndsay showed Melissa how to cover those dark circles that inevitably appear when you have a baby in the house, and how to complement the even base with a pop of colour.

The products Lyndsay used for Melissa's gorgeous look were:
