Why this worksA natural makeup look enhances your features while allowing your skin to breathe. The key is to use lightweight formulas that provide a hint of colour and luminosity, perfect for the warmer months. This approach avoids that cakey feeling and keeps your look fresh and vibrant.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face. Use a lightweight moisturiser or a hydrating primer to create a smooth base for your makeup application.
  2. Use Tinted Moisturiser Swap your heavy foundation for a tinted moisturiser or BB cream. This provides coverage while keeping your skin looking natural and dewy.
  3. Add a Cream Blush Opt for a cream blush in a peachy or rosy shade. Apply it on the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards for a soft, flushed look that mimics a natural glow.
  4. Highlight Strategically Choose a liquid or cream highlighter to apply on the high points of your face, like the cheekbones and brow bones. This adds a subtle luminosity without being overpowering.
  5. Finish with a Setting Spray To lock in your fresh look, use a lightweight setting spray. This helps to keep your makeup in place while adding an extra boost of hydration.

Where people go wrong

Many people overdo it with heavy foundations or powders, which can lead to a dull look. Others skip skin prep, leaving the makeup to cling to dry patches. Remember, less is more for a natural finish.

The pro moveTry mixing a drop of liquid highlighter into your tinted moisturiser for an all-over glow.
