Glow starts with skincare
“A great skincare base really just lets everything sit beautifully on your skin to give you that glow. That's why the moisturiser is so key to prep your skin, it gives you that beautiful glow."
Apply concealer before foundation for a super natural finish
“I have certain areas on my skin I like to cover. A lot of people put the concealer on last after their foundation. I actually put it on first and then put foundation on. I might put a little bit on as a little touch up at the end, so you get that layering effect.”
Go Vit C for skin confidence
“I used to have terrible pigmentation to the point that I was so uncomfortable not wearing makeup. And now look at me. Our Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum helps me so much with my pigmentation [issues]. It has won multiple awards because it is an incredible, brightening, lightweight serum that really looks beautiful underneath makeup. I still have a little bit of pigmentation, so it's something that I use every single morning because as it has lightened my pigmentation dramatically.”
Make your foundation melt and glow
“I like it when the makeup kind of melts into your skin. One little tip - after I've applied foundation with the brush, I then go in with my hands and just kind of press it in to make sure that it's blended. I’ll do my neck, working around my nose and my eyes, making sure it's all lived in and feels like it's part of you, instead of sitting on the surface. Sometimes to make things look even more natural, I wet a beauty blender and just kind of press my makeup into my skin even more.”
This blush placement = a youthful glow
“I actually really love blush. I'm using an RMS beauty blush called the Heart. It's powder blush, and I also use it on my eyelids to give a bit of a pop of colour. On my cheeks, the tip that I like to use with blush, is to align from your pupil right down to the apple of your cheek and apply it there for a youthful glow.“
