'A lot of people are quite scared of it and some people end up with stripes all over their face,' Ed said.

1. Pick up a soft fluffy brush

Ed said: 'Charlotte [Tilbury] loves contouring and she does it in a really love enhancing way - its about defining the natural structure of your face. 

'But she also recommends a smaller brush which is fluffier so it doesn't sweep off any other make up from your face.'

2. Start from the top 

'Starting from where the top of you ear is, suck your cheeks in and and follow the hollow line down, sweeping lightly with the bronzer,' Ed explained. 

'Then sweep some over the temples and below the jawlines on each side. Build it up as you go for a more defined look'.

3. Choose a lighter bronzer

Ed, who also prepped stars including Irina Shayk for the BAFTAs, said: 'Don't go for the same bronzer you would normally pick. Go for something a bit lighter. 

'If you contour with a very bright bronzor you'll just end up with orange stripes. You need something with a cooler undertones.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
