A little
make-up goes a long way to creating a polished face that looks
perfectly natural.
Less really is more when it comes to applying your make-up. Most
women (and men) would unanimously agree that the more natural and
radiant you look, the better. And, while heavy, full-coverage
foundation and bold eyes, lips and cheeks can give you an immaculate
finish, they are not always necessary. You can also create a
perfectly polished look with a few subtle products that only you know
are there.
Foundation helps to even out your skin tone. For
light, barely-there coverage that looks as natural as possible, apply
foundation with a damp sponge. Sweep it on, applying it only where
needed, then blend well. Another alternative is to use a Mineral
Foundation and sweep it over sparingly.
A metallic crème eye shadow in a neutral shade is easy to apply, and
gives the eyes some natural definition as well as a healthy sheen.
Use the pad of your finger to blend the creamy shadow all over your
eyelid.
Mascara gives the eyes instant drama and definition.
For a softer, more natural effect, try brown or brown-black mascara,
which flatters most complexions. Apply one coat to your upper and
lower lashes and comb through.
Adding a little colour to your complexion can make it
look younger, fresher and healthier. Use a creamy, sheer multiple lip
and cheek product. Lightly blend onto your cheeks with your fingers
and apply to your lips with a brush.
DO'S AND DONT'S
DO choose natural, flattering colours that blend well
with your skin tone
DONT use crème to powder foundations - they can look cakey
DO apply a tinted moisturiser for a naturally fresh dewy
complexion
DONT use too much product - apply in light layers, just a
little at a time
DO try multiple products - with their sheer texture,
they will look barely-there
DONT forget to keep brows groomed to give eyes make-up
free definition
