How to Get Gorgeous with Cosmetics

Cosmetics are most women’s best friend – especially if they are chemical free. However, some women don’t care about the chemicals, especially if they have never had any trouble with their skin, so for those women who want to get gorgeous with cosmetics, here are a few tips that you may not have heard about before.

  • Mix pearly white or golden eye shadow with your foundation for a luminescent look.
  • For an instant makeover, swipe your favourite lipstick over your cheeks, eyelids and lips, then blend it all over your face.
  • Add blush to the cheeks before you apply foundation for a coming straight from under the skin glow.
  • Pink or red blush should go on the ‘apple’ of the cheek. Peach/orange tones should go on the highest point of the cheekbones while bronze tones should be placed on prominent points where the sun hits such as the bridge of the nose, chin and forehead.
  • Look for products with anti-aging properties such as peptides, hyaluronic acid and collagen to help prevent those fine lines and wrinkles, rather than having to treat them afterwards. Prevention is better than cure.
  • Make moisturiser your friend as it also helps to keep your skin looking youthful and radiant.
  • A liner of flesh colour used on the water line of your lower lashes will make your eyes look bigger.
  • Brighten your face by dabbing a shimmery champagne colour to the inner eye corner.
