We’re not all born with it, but achieving a flawless complexion is most definitely doable. It takes (daily) routine, practice and a little TLC, but here are my top tips on getting that natural glow every time.
Cleansing really is a given. It’s incredibly important to wash off the day’s worth of makeup, sweat, dirt and pollution, so start your newly found skin routine by cleansing your face with a good cleanser that is suited to your skin type. Whether oily, dry, acne prone, or sensitive, it is important to find a cleanser that works for you. I recommend Charlotte Tilbury multi-miracle glow cleanser for it’s multi-purpose use as a cleanser, mask and balm. It’s also packed full of minerals and vitamins, which stimulate healthy skin cell growth and fights against early signs of ageing.
-Moisturising is key in maintaining a flawless complexion as moisture encourages healthy skin cell growth and keeps skin feeling supple and smooth. Again, opt for a moisturiser that best suits your skin type, whether you prefer a light moisturising cream, that gives a dewy complexion or a matifying fluid for oilier skin types, there’s a moisturiser out there for each of you! I’m a big fan of Liz Earl Skin Repair and Liz Earle Superskin range, and also incorporate natural oils into my skincare routine, but it really is down to preference.
-Bright eyes enhance youthfulness by 100% so applying a corrector to the under eye area will help to conceal discolouration (under eye bags) and will help to brighten up your complexion instantly. Master Corrector by Giorgio Armani is my go-to corrector, which I applying in pink as my skin is fair. Olive skin tones should reach for peachier shades and dark skin tones should go for more orange based shades.
-With a decent stippling brush, apply liquid foundation in gentle circular motions. Don’t forget the neck area as you don’t want to freak people out with your sudden skin-colour shifting abilities!
-Next, blend in your foundation with a damp beauty blender sponge to make sure you have a patch-free all-round smooth complexion. The beauty of the beauty blender sponge is that it helps to create an even complexion and will never leave your foundation looking caked up, which is a definite NO when it comes to achieving a flawless complexion.
-It’s time to hit that concealer, so grab a sponge and lightly stipple in your concealer to your under eye area. Again this will brighten up your overall complexion and make tired eyes miraculously disappear.
-Last, but not least, a good setting power will seal and lock in your foundation so that it stays looking perfect throughout the day.
And there you have it ladies, the very foundations of attaining that perfectly flawless complexion. Do let me know how your new skin routine works out for you!
