Flawless Skin
- I recommend that you prime your face with your favourite Foundation primer to begin with. If you are like me and have Super Oily skin then look for Primers that are oil free and are specific for Oily skin, same goes for dry and combination skin. These are some good Primers for Oily skin; Clinique Pore Minimizer Instant Perfecter, Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel, Lancome Perfecting Make up Primer Smoothing Effects Oil Free, L'Oreal Studio Secret Primer and Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer.
- This is optional but conceal any dark circles, blemishes or redness. Also conceal the inner corners of your nose; this will brighten your face.
- Now take your favourite Foundation, and once again i would opt for one that is suitable for your skin type, so if you have oily skin don't go and buy yourself a foundation packed with oils. In my previous Post i was talking about the differences with mineral and liquid foundation, but I do recommend using a liquid Foundation for this look just because it gives you a better coverage and will achieve the 'Flawless' look more than the mineral. Although it is up to you guys. Apply your foundation all over you face blending it into the start of your hair line and your neck. Using a Buffer/Kabuki brush in circular motions will soften the make up and removing any streaks left behind.
- This part is also optional, but for you girls out there that have oily skin, i suggest that you use some mineral foundation and lightly blot it onto the areas where there is excessive oil and then blend a small amount over your whole face, making sure there is no splodges.
- Demi's cheeks have an inner glow, so to achieve this we want to pick out some pretty, girly light pink blush tones and apply this to the apples of our cheeks.
- Now choose a bronzer that suits your skin tone, you don't want to be to pale or to orange. We are now going to contour our cheeks and if you don't know where to contour then make a fish face (Don't be embarrassed, we all have to do this at some stage) and where you see the hollows in your cheeks, we are going to lightly dust some bronzer into that area. Make sure you blend it out so it's not streaky. You can also add some to your temples.
- This is the last stage and we just want to highlight out cheek bone to add more structure to our look. So, using a check bone enhancing cream or a champagne eyeshadow lightly sweep the enhancer on top of your cheekbones and then lightly blend.
- Prime your eyes (lid and lash line) using your favourite eye primer. This will enhance the colour and keep it on all day.
- Using a flat shader brush apply a champagne colour to your lid, inner corner and brow.
- Using the same brush add a light bronze to the outer half of your lid
- Now take a dome shaped blending brush and sweep a dark bronze into the crease, then using the same brush blend a charcoal colour from the outer corner into the light bronze so there is a light gradation
- Line your upper lash line with a black Liner, starting with a thin line from your inner corner and gradually thickening to your outer corner. Smudge this lightly with a cotton tip or smudging brush. Line your bottom lash line taking it only half way and smudge.
- Now apply a golden/ orange bronze eyeshadow from the half way in your bottom lash line to your inner corner. lightly blend the eyeshadow with the liner.
- Finish off your eyes with a coat of mascara (top and bottom)
- For the lips, choose a pink nude lipstick and applying a light pink lip gloss on top to coat.
Hope you like it! xx
