Your-Skin-But-Better Make-Up Tips
Prep your skin with a glow-boosting primer
The first thing you can do to cheat your way to radiant looking skin with make-up is to look for a primer with radiance boosting properties. There are so many options on the market now promising to give the skin a lit-from-within glow. These can be worn under make-up, on their own or mixed in with your favourite foundation.
Add a pop of colour with a cream or liquid blusher
There’s nothing like a good cream or liquid blush to mimic a healthy-looking complexion. Just like the old-fashioned tip of gently pinching your cheeks for an instant pick me up, adding a cream or liquid blush is a great way to achieve a rosy, healthy glow. These formulas also tend to be multi-functional, so they can be used on the lips and cheeks to instantly freshen up your make-up.
Highlight with light-reflecting products
By adding a highlighter to your routine, you can enhance your complexion even further and instantly freshen up the face. Apply it to the areas of the face you’d like to bring forward, such as the cheekbones, browbone and the bridge of the nose. Not only does highlighter add dimension, it also brightens up a dull complexion.
Finish with a dewy setting spray
Finish everything off with a dewy setting spray to keep your skin looking luminous and radiant – plus, it will also help your make-up stay in place. A good dewy setting spray won’t make you look shiny or greasy – instead, a quality one should impart a fine mist of micro pearls for a subtle gleam. They usually have added skincare benefits too, to keep the skin hydrated. It means you can top up whenever you need to.
