Dani Guinsberg, celebrity make-up artist and teacher at The Session School, shares with us her top three tips for enhancing and showing off your best assets. Join us in celebrating your cleavage!
Dare to tan
If you're pale, your décolletage will benefit from a tan so choose your favourite self-tanner to give you some colour - I like Fantasy Tan from fantasytan.co.uk. It will also stop the thin, delicate skin in the chest area looking translucent and will leave it glowing with health.

Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise!
A healthy sheen on your skin helps give the look of fullness - it's the same principle as lip gloss for the lips. Gently massage a rich moisturising cream into the collarbone and over the arcs of your bust to enhance the area. Repeat daily and apply a little more before a night out. My favourite is the Hand and Neck Butter, £12 from myonegreenbottle.co.uk
Beautiful bronzer
Grab a large, soft bronzing brush and swirl it into a powder with a hint of sparkle or iridescence to help reflect the light. Remove the excess on your bristles with a light tap and apply in circular motions (to avoid streaks) then lightly dust over the shoulders, collarbone, breast bone and the arcs of the bust.

Real-life reviews:
Mama Mio Boob Tube, £28.50, mamamio.com
"I bought Mama Mio Boob Tube in June this year in a desperate attempt to try and get my body prepared for its exposure in a bikini; looking for any quick wins! It had been recommended to me by a friend who’d used it after the birth of her baby, and although I’m not a new mum I thought it may be good to try. It’s a lovely product, with a luxurious creamy texture that absorbs quickly into the skin, yet leaves it soft and nourished, with no stickiness. I saw an immediate improvement in the texture of my skin – it looked smoother and healthier, particularly on the décolletage region. I’ve used it religiously every day since buying it and have noticed real improvement in terms of the firmness and perkiness of my boobs, plus my skin texture is so much softer."

Rodial Boob Job, £125, rodial.co.uk
"As someone who would consider going under the knife for a fuller cleavage, I was desperate to put Rodial’s bust enhancing cream through its paces. Claiming to up your cup by half a size (you take what you can!) after 56 days of using the formula, you’re expected to see a change in size, plumpness and lift. At present I’m only a quarter of the way through the recommended testing time but I swear things are already changing - granted, it could also be down to hormones - but there’s no denying my skin feels smoother and there’s an improved perkiness in the bra department. A gel-cream hybrid, I was a little concerned it might be sticky on application but to my delight, it’s lovely and smooth and quickly absorbs into the skin. My only worry now is that the revolutionary fat blocking cells will have an effect on my fingers too!"
Keep your eyes peeled for my blog where after 56 days of using Rodial’s boob job I’ll reveal whether it’s claims have come true!
