Luminous skin and sexy makeup? Yes please
Sure, the “no-makeup” makeup look has been a big trend over the last couple of seasons, but now there’s a greater emphasis placed on achieving the look using even less products. What caught our eye at this show was the clever use of an everyday lip balm - and no, we’re not just talking about slicking it over your smackers. Read on to find out exactly how this look was created...
1
Prep the skin
Using a Clarisonic Mia 2 and a foaming face wash, move the tool in light, circular motions to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface.
2
Perfect your base
Tap a small amount of Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation onto blemish areas to nix redness.
3
Add some colour
With a fluffy brush, sweep a pink-toned shadow across your eyelids for just a wash of colour. With any leftover product on your eyeshadow brush, sweep it along your cheeks to mimic a rosy flush.
4
Accentuate your eyes
Hold your mascara wand vertically, and close the eye you’re about to apply product to. Wave the wand from side to side, so that you’re clumping the lashes together. Open your eyes to reveal the final look.
5
Hydrate your lips
Keep the rest of your look tonal by coating lips with a thin layer of Maybelline New York’s Baby Lips.
6
Highlight away
With the lip balm, apply another thin layer of product along cheekbones and on eyelids to add a light sheen to the face.
