Choose Your Colour

When it comes to foundation. Choose your color wisely. This is how:

• Choose the 3 colours closest to your skin

• Apply a swap of each colour on one side of your cheeks all the way to your jawline and blend

• The colour that disappears with the colour of your skin is the right one!

• The face is a better option to try the foundation colour on than your hands as you will often have different colour skins on each

• Depending on the texture and coverage of your foundation, set it in with translucent powder that weighs a lot lighter than your foundation to avoid a cakey look

• Finally, choose a concealer that is only 1 shade lighter than your foundation

Look your best in photos

Here are 3 steps to help you look your best in photos - from Glamour magazine:

1. Apply makeup in the lighting you’ll be photographed in so you get the right amount of makeup on. If your skin is mature, avoid liquid liners and shimmer glitter. It accentuates fine lines and makes you look older.  

2. Use a light-reflecting foundation and concealer to illuminate your skin and combat undereye shadows.

3. Use an anti-shine product/primer to keep your skin matte. Oily skin gets shinier thanks to the flash, and you’ll want to avoid that.

One last tip, if you have your hair tied back, tilt your head while being photographed so you look like you have hair ;)

Perfect Lips

Achieving perfect lips is very personal in terms of size and pout. However contouring them carefully gives you perfect shape lips regardless of size and pout.

Make it a rule, whenever you apply lipstick, weather you contour your lips using a lip liner or not, always contour your lips using foundation or concealer following your lip line from the outside. It is such a simple step, yet makes a very strong beauty statement.

If you are applying nude lipstick and do this trick, your lips will look fuller. If you are applying darker lip colors and do this trick, your lips will look thinner yet bolder.

Try both colors to find out which style resembels you the most!
