6 SEXY SOLUTIONS...
HAIR AND MAKE-UP TIPS FROM THE PROS
1. LOOK GREAT TOP-TO-TOE
"If your outfit reveals lots of skin, apply body creams and foundation to the legs, arms or bust. It will leave exposed skin looking lustrous and blemish-free," says Lee Pycroft, make-up artist to Kate Moss.
2. HELP MAKE-UP LAST
"Set make-up with loose powder and go for liquids and gel textures that stick to skin longer than pencils and powders," advises Kay Montano, make-up artist to Salma Hayek.
3. LOOK GREAT IN BED
Nadira Persaud, make-up artist to Sienna Miller, says: "If you can't bear to go make-up free in the bedroom, a qucik solution is to curl lashes and apply some wateroriif mascara and concealer over problem areas. Use a clear lip balm and don't worry about blusher - you'll already have a flush."
4. TRANSFORM LONG HAIR
Richard Ward, owner of Richard Ward Hair & Metrospa in London, says: "For wavy, sexier hair, set damn locks in small velcro rollers to halfway up mid-length. Once dry, rake with your fingers for a natural, glossy look."
5. GET GLAMOROUS FAST
James Kaliardos, international catwalk make-up artist, advises: "To get a smoky look for your eyes, outline them with black eyeliner close to the lashes, then go back over the line while gently smoothing out."
6. MAKE SHORT HAIR SEXY
"Hair should look and feel natural, so make sure it's well conditioned," says Akin Konizi, Hob Salons International Creative Director.

3 Steps to SEDUCTION
TRY THESE FLIRTY FINISHING TOUCHES AND YOU'RE GUARANTEED TO GET NOTICED THIS VALENTINE'S...
STEP 1: SHOWER PRIMP AND POLISH
Getting ready for a hot date doesn't need hours of preening. Instead, make time for three essentials.
Shower
A short, tepid shower will boostcirculation and help skin glow. Soothe dry areas like knees, elbows and feet with nourishing cream such as Benefit Touch Me Then Try To Leave Me Cream (left), £21.
Primp
Stick to basics. A light liquid foundation like L'Oreal Paris True Maych Foundation, £8.99, will cover flaws and even out skin tone, while a kiss-proof lip and cheek tint like The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Stain (right), £8.50, will give you healthy colour. Follow with lashings of Maybelline New York XXL Curl Power Mascara in Black, £8.99, to accentuate eyes. Style your hair loose so you don't have to worry about it unravelling all night.
Polish
It's the small but important touches that turn your date on. Polish nails with a seductive shade like Leighton Denny Nail Colour in Passion (left), £10. Just before you leave, spray a fragrance like Anna Sui Flight of Fancy, from £23, in front of you and walk through it for an all-over subtile scent.
