MAKE UP: HOW TO

NO MAKE UP MAKE UP

Laidback beauty starts here

The most perfect, effortless makeup look does actually require a tiny bit of effort. This is how to keep it simple, but still get a radiant complexion guaranteed to elicit compliments.

MASTER MASSAGE

The best base prep starts with skin. Spend an extra 45 seconds massaging in a nourishing serum like Endota Spa Organics Multi Vitamin Treatment Oil. The motion stimulates circulation and encourages lymphatic drainage – both of which are going to boost glow. Start in the centre of the face and move outwards. Finish with sweeping motions from the ears, down the neck.

ACE THE BASE

There are no rules that say foundation has to be used all over. For a more natural, seamless effect, apply your base just where it’s needed. Try Velvet Concepts F2/ Airbrush Effect Brush, then make foundation even more seamless by blending with fingertips. The warmth of the hands help the formula merge with your skin. Try Velvet Concepts Abracadabra Multi-tasking Foundation or Nude by Nature Sheer Glow BB Cream.

GO FOR GLOW

The most natural makeup look is less about colour, and more about finish. Use a glow-making cream like Nude by Nature Touch of Glow Highlight Stick in Champagne to add sheen to highpoints like cheekbones and the inner corner of the eye. For evening, add a layer of gleam across the whole eyelid. Try Pixi Liquid Fairy Lights in Sunray.
