Just as you have a varied makeup stash, so should you have varied makeup looks to draw on. From days when you have little time or energy to when you feel dressier, here’s how you can get by with different numbers of products, from just two for a simple look to a full-on makeup face using 10 products. Now, go look your prettiest.

Maybe it’s because most of us only use them one way – by dusting them all over our cheeks – when they are really more versatile than that.

Imagine if you could analyse your skin at home without going to a beauty counter or salon.

Beauty reviews are a dime a dozen all over the Internet.

Take a leaf from the stylebooks of these celebs who continue to wow over the years.

There has never been a better time to change it up, for the latest makeup is confident, fearless and inclusive.

Blusher means different things to different women. To K-beauty fi ends, it’s part of their arsenal of products that helps recreate that look of preternaturally wholesome prettiness. To the Kardashian-influenced Kontouring Klan, it’s for when they want a softer effect (the technique’s known as draping). To those into “no-makeup” makeup, it might not even exist in their vocabulary. In short – as much as it’s a staple – blusher’s long been underrated, much less seen as fashion forward, but the F/W ’18 runways could change that. Brands like Loewe and House Of Holland (above) recreated the appearance of a healthy, natural-looking flush across models’ cheeks with a gentle swipe of pinkish blush or lippie (yes, lipstick – smear on a little, then use fingers to blend), while keeping the rest of the face clean. Simple, romantic, modern. Sometimes, the best things are indeed right in front of you. – SK
