Get The Look: Golden Glow
| 21st May 2015
A Golden glow gives instant glam to any style but when you’re on holiday, enjoying the summer sun, you don’t want to be spending too much time applying make-up so the key is just to simplify it.
Here’s a tip of mine, use multi-tasking make-up products when going on holiday. You’ll find your make-up bag is half the size and a lot easier to pack!
LOOK 1: By Day…
The key to nice make-up is a flawless base and the rest just follows. My tip for amazing skin, without having to always wear a foundation, is to use a sheen all over and buff over a liquid bronzer using a large foundation brush.
I like Clarins Instant Boosting Complextion Base and a wash of Giorgio Armani Maestro Liquid Sun. A second layer of the bronzer with a contour brush can be added to give the cheeks definition. A light layer of waterproof mascara will keep your lashes in order all day and night.
A soft choice for lips like M & S Autograph Moisture Colour lipstick with an SPF 30 will give protection and a subtle but hydrating wash of colour and you can keep it in your bag to reapply like a balm.
Autograph Moisture Colour Lipstick £8.50, available from Marks & Spencer
Clarins Instant Light Boosting Complexion Base £26.50, available from Clarins
Giorgio Armani Maestro Liquid Sun £35, available from Selfridges
LOOK 2: By Night…
Vamp it up for your evening’s party plans by using a golden glow to highlight your cheeks and apply a wash over your lids as a shadow too. I really like the B. Glowing Shimmer Block Bronze from Superdrug; it’s a perfect handbag multi-tasker. A soft brush to apply means it blends well, so apply a light layer then work it into the skin by swirling your brush over the area several times.
Use your mascara as a liner! It’s waterproof so it won’t budge. Apply a little at the roots of your lashes and press it into the skin with a brush so it blends away any edges.
Don’t be shy in summer when it comes to a lipstick, keep it statement and strong. A long wear one is essential, so choose a texture that lasts. (which tends to be matte) Keep it small, as space is of the essence, so I would choose Stila Long Wear Lip Colour.
Always keep your make-up fun and remember if you want to keep your make-up bag small you can use products in areas you wouldn’t normally. Your lippy can always double up as a blush!
