Why this worksNatural makeup enhances your features without masking them. By using earthy tones and subtle techniques, you achieve a fresh, seasonal vibe. Plus, focusing on skin texture helps the colours pop without overwhelming your face.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face. Use a lightweight primer to create a smooth canvas for your makeup and help it last longer throughout the day.
  2. Choose Your Foundation Opt for a tinted moisturiser or a light foundation that matches your skin tone. Apply it with a damp sponge for an even, natural finish that lets your skin shine through.
  3. Add Warm Tones Use earthy eyeshadows like terracotta or soft browns on your eyelids. Blend well to create a seamless look, and don’t forget to add a touch of highlighter to your brow bone and inner corner.
  4. Define Your Features Apply a natural blush in soft peach or warm shades to the apples of your cheeks. Finish with a tinted lip balm or a nude lip colour for a fresh, polished appearance.
  5. Set and Go Lightly dust your face with translucent powder to set your makeup without taking away the natural glow. A setting spray can also help keep everything in place.

Where people go wrong

Many people overdo the foundation, leading to a cakey look. Others forget to blend their eyeshadows, resulting in harsh lines. Not setting the makeup properly can also mean it doesn't last.

The pro moveFor an extra pop, use a cream blush instead of powder for a dewy finish that suits the season.
