Tips and tricks to achieve a radiant make-up look that lasts …
Some people have been genetically blessed with dewy skin, making it easy for them to achieve a radiant look, but that’s not the case for everyone. While a good skincare routine will contribute to dewy skin, glowy make-up can also be your ally! Here’s a simple routine to follow to achieve the perfect glow:
Start with skin prep
Skin prep is vital for achieving the desired make-up look, especially for glowy skin. So, begin by washing your face to remove excess oil or dirt from your skin, then apply skincare products, like serums, and toners, from the thinnest to the thickest.
Complete your skincare routine with a moisturiser and wait until the product absorbs before you apply make-up. Notino recommends the Egyptian Miracle cream, as it has deeply nourishing properties, and will help you achieve the radiant complexion you want.
Use a primer for a long-lasting effect
Apply a primer to conceal minor skin imperfections and achieve a flawless look that will boost your confidence.
Once the skincare products have sunk into your skin, dot a pea-sized amount of primer over your face and dab it into your skin, then wait 2-3 minutes, applying make-up only after the primer settles into your skin.
Apply foundation
A radiant finish foundation isn’t necessarily the right choice for a glowy look, so consider going for a matte finish instead, which ensures your face won’t look greasy.
On www.notino.ie, you will find a mattifying foundation, whose fine mattifying particles will perfectly cover skin imperfections, leaving the skin smooth and soft.
Get a sun-kissed effect with blush
Blush is also essential to achieve a glowy make-up look, as it will make your features stand out. Be sure to use the right blush formula and apply it correctly. Visit www.notino.ie and choose the MaxFactor Facefinity powder blusher, which will give a rosy flush to cheeks while also making your skin look luminous and tanned.
Define your eyebrows
Luckily, it’s easy to define your brows – the Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil on www.notino.ie has a handy brush that fills in the gaps in your eyebrows and accentuates and styles them to provide a natural look.
Reach for eyeshadow and mascara
Do you want a low-key look or a glowy glam? If it’s the latter, you need to apply eyeshadow to add depth to your eyes and make them look larger.
Next, use a few coats of mascara to complete your make-up – Notino’s pick is L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Lift mascara, which has a two-sided brush enabling precise application, and containing ceramides that will nourish and strengthen your eyelashes.
Don’t forget about lip gloss
A glowy make-up look isn’t complete without a hydrating lip gloss!
Opt for a lightweight, non-sticky formula that will moisturise your lips and give them a natural-looking colour (for instance, you can go for a nude shade or a warm coral hue, depending on your preferences).
Lock your make-up into place
Your glowy makeup look isn’t yet done – you still need to seal the make-up with a setting spray.
This will extend your make-up’s life, and protect against creasing, smudging and fading, while keeping it fresh, as if you’d just applied it. But ensure to keep your lit-from-within shine by choosing a product that can provide a radiant effect.
The bottom line
