Do your prep work
Magnificent skin begins with proper skincare. So if you’re ever torn between splurging on foundation or skincare, always choose the latter. Start off with cleansing oil like Shu Uemura’s Anti/Oxi+ Cleansing Oil, which counters the dulling effects of pollution on your face.
If your skin is looking lacklustre, reach for an antioxidant-rich moisturiser that’packed with vitamin C — massage it in to help boost blood flow.
Tackle those stubborn dry spots by dipping a cotton bud into some facial oil, then rub it over the patch until your skin is smooth. Remember, layering your serum and moisturiser is also key to a beautiful dewy effect.
NIGHT HERO
This is the first-ever serum-in-cream that works on all aspects of your complexion - pore size, firmness and radiance.
Lay the foundation
Primers should go onto your skin first to create a smooth makeup base. Try a highlighter like Urban Decay’s Afterglow Highlighter on top of your foundation to sculpt specific areas. Which shades should you go for?
Those with a paler skin tone should opt for pearl shades, while medium-skinned beauties will shine with tones of champagne and pale pink.
