Create a glowing base
Following a dedicated skin-care routine—cleansing, moisturising, and exfoliating—is essential for a healthy complexion. Before applying makeup, use a weightless, hydrating moisturiser on clean skin. Once the moisturiser sinks in, target areas with fine lines or dry patches with a quick-absorbing primer or smoothing gel.
Cover up conservatively
Trying to hide wrinkles will only draw more attention to them. To even out skin tone, use a moist sponge or foundation brush to apply a sheer, hydrating foundation. Use a lightweight creamy concealer that blends easily on the more ruddy or hyper-pigmented areas. Concentrate on the under eyes and inner corners to combat dark circles.
Warm up the skin
Select a foundation or concealer a shade or two warmer to ensure you don’t look washed out. Extend coverage beyond the face, using a foundation brush to blend slightly around the neck so it doesn’t look obvious. Add bronzer on the cheeks, under the cheekbone, down the sides of the nose, across the forehead, and under the jawline.
