Glowy skin, a sultry eye or a bold lip – all are fair game if they help you feel confident and radiant. Here are 15 make-up buys guaranteed to elevate everyday beauty into something a little more swoon-worthy.
All About The Base
To keep your skin looking effortless yet flawless, use a hydrating primer and a lightweight base. Seal with a setting spray rather than powder to keep a dewy finish that doesn’t feel too formal, caked or dull.
Lit From Within
Make the most of your setting and play up to low lighting – candlelight if you’re lucky – with glowing, golden accents. A highlighter on brow bones or a soft diffused highlighter powder on cheeks give skin a soft, diffused look.
S.W.A.L.K
There is something timelessly romantic about a classic red lip. It speaks of power, yet femininity. To get the perfect finish that will last through a romantic meal, make sure you prep lips with exfoliation and hydration for a smooth finish. Use a lip liner to prevent bleeding and a highly pigmented formula with staying power. Blot and reapply a second layer for added impact and longevity.
Eyes Have It
Add a hint of sparkle to your inner corners of your eyes to instantly make them look more open and sparkling. Add eyelid primer to prep before applying eye make-up to stop creasing and an under-eye illuminator to balance dark circles for a wide-awake eye.
