Why this worksLayering makeup helps create depth and dimension, preventing a flat appearance. By using different textures and finishes, you can achieve a more natural and radiant look. This technique also allows for better blending and the opportunity to build coverage without looking cakey.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face. Use a hydrating primer to create a smooth base for your makeup, ensuring the layers adhere well and last longer.
  2. Apply Foundation Choose a lightweight foundation that matches your skin tone. Use a damp makeup sponge to apply it in layers, focusing on areas needing more coverage while keeping it sheer elsewhere.
  3. Add Cream Products Layer cream blush or bronzer on your cheeks and temples. Cream products blend seamlessly into the skin and give a dewy finish, enhancing the warmth of your November look.
  4. Set With Powder Lightly dust a translucent setting powder over your T-zone to control shine. Avoid applying too much; you want to maintain the glow from the cream products underneath.
  5. Finish With Highlighter Apply a liquid or cream highlighter to the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones and brow bones. This final layer adds a luminous touch that catches the light beautifully.

Where people go wrong

Many people rush the layering process, leading to uneven coverage and a cakey finish. Others forget to blend properly, which can leave harsh lines. Finally, using too much powder can dull the glow from your cream products, so go easy on it!

The pro moveTry mixing your foundation with a few drops of liquid highlighter for a radiant base.
