Why this worksAs the weather warms up, lighter textures and brighter colours can enhance your natural glow. A fresh makeup routine not only revitalises your look but also helps to keep your skin feeling breathable and fresh. Embracing lighter formulations can prevent a cakey finish, allowing your skin to shine through.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face. Use a lightweight moisturiser to hydrate your skin and create a smooth base for makeup.
  2. Use a Tinted Moisturiser Swap heavy foundations for a tinted moisturiser to even out your skin tone while keeping it light. Apply with your fingers or a damp sponge for that fresh, dewy finish.
  3. Brighten Your Eyes Opt for a cream eyeshadow in a soft, pastel shade to brighten your eyes. Use your finger to pat it on for a natural, blended look.
  4. Add a Flush of Colour Apply a cream blush to your cheeks for a healthy flush. Cream products blend seamlessly into the skin and give a fresh, dewy finish.
  5. Finish with a Gloss Top off your lips with a tinted lip gloss for a touch of colour and shine. This keeps your look soft and fresh.

Where people go wrong

Many people stick to heavy foundations that can look cakey in warmer weather. Forgetting to prep the skin properly can lead to uneven application. Overdoing eye makeup can detract from the fresh look you're aiming for.

The pro moveTry mixing a drop of facial oil into your tinted moisturiser for extra glow.
