1. Begin with 3-step skin care: Cleanse tone and moisturise. Preparing the skin well is a really important part of your make-up application routine. Give yourself a little more time if possible and apply the moisturiser, gently massaging the face. This will help your skin to look healthier and more radiant as it improves the blood circulation. If your skin tends to go shiny during the day use a gentle exfoliating scrub in the AM before you start you routine.
2. Apply foundation lightly on to skin with fingers, and use a sponge to take of the excess.
3. Conceal under the eyes and over any blemishes with a small amount, dabbing rather than smoothing on.
4. Groom the eyebrows into a neat shape with an eyebrow tool or brush.
5. Sculpt face to bring your cheekbones out. This can be done with a bronzer. Follow the shape of your cheekbones under the apple with a brush. Then from the outer corner of your eyes on the temples and gently around the hairline and on the forehead. This technique is used by professional make-up artists to make the models face looks slimmer. Follow with a light dusting of light pink summery blusher in a C shape on the apple cheeks.
6. Lightly apply a base to the eyes. This will ensure your makeup stays put even on the hottest of days.
7. For a fresh spring look, apply brown eye shadow in the outer corner of the eye in the socket line and lash line, blending only half way over into the middle of the lid, and creating in a V shape. Use the same eye shadow underneath the eye line towards the inner corner. Brown tones will work with most skin types and give a natural look. Brown also brings out the blue in the blue eyes or pushes out the green in lighter shades of brown eyes.
8. To open the apply white eyeliner in the water line.
9. Highlight the arch under the eyebrow with a pale shape eye shadow. We love champagne or beige.
10. Using a brush apply powder to set the foundation, and only on the places that need it, such as T zone and the chin and the forehead.
11. Curl the lashes, and apply mascara to the top lashes only. This keeps the eyes wide and fresh
12. If you want to define the eyes more, use a liner on the top – this is has been a key beauty trend over the last few seasons, and is here to stay, so give it a try!
13. For the final touches, apply lipstick (this season, we love the candy pink shades) or dab on a high shine lip-gloss.
