Invisible Makeup

There isn’t much that looks as good as the, “Maybe she’s born with it” look. No, I’m not talking Maybelline, I’m talking fresh faced makeup that keeps people guessing if “Is she or isn’t she?” Yeah I bet you know what I mean. I know, that you know, that I know, that you know what I mean. It’s not a makeup trend to last you a week, it’s more like a skill that you learn and keep with you forever. The skilful art of applying invisible makeup. A good rule of thumb to remember; no lines should be seen anywhere. Spend more time blending then applying.

Base
Go for a light tinted moisturiser. If you tan your body and your face looks a bit pale in comparison, choose a shade that matches your neck and blend reeeeallly well. If your skin needs better coverage than just a light tint, try Dior Hydraction Deep Hydration Tint SPF 20, which offers those with less than perfect skin a bit more coverage while still keeping with the natural theme. Chanel also recently launched the Hydramax Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 which is also a firm favourite.

Cheeks
Cream blush formulas work best as they keep with the dewy look and are easier to blend, but if you prefer a powder texture then feel free, but go lightly and blend really well. You can also go for a lip and cheek stain for lasting power. Can’t find the perfect shade of blush? Head straight off to MAC, if they don’t have one for you, nobody will. If blush isn’t your thing or you would like a bit more definition, go for an illuminator on the cheek and brow bones. A classic crème cheek colour in Coy, from Bloom looks great with most complexions

Eyes
Extend your tinted moisturizer to your eyelids so that you take away any discoloration. If you like, you can top it off with a barely there eyeshades of toffee or light peach. As for the eyelashes, add one coat of a dark brown, or if you have a darker skin tone, black mascara. Covergirl Professional All In One mascara is a bargain at around $10 and is perfect for the natural look.

Lips
If your lips are naturally rosy just finish them off with a moisturizing lip balm. If you like a bit more colour, go for a gloss that comes from the same shade family as your blush. If you like more the slightly nude lip, blend the tiniest amount of your tinted moisturizer out from the edges of lips in and finish with a soothing balm.
