  • Use a cleanser, toner and moisturiser on your face for a clean and supple skin.
  • Start by applying a matt-foundation, matching exactly with your skin-tone.
  • Make sure to use a cream-base foundation and spread it using a soft sponge. After, the foundation spreads like a second skin, go ahead with the rest of the make-up.
  • Start by highlighting the upper lash line, by applying a thin layer of eye-liner. The lashes should be made to loo longer and Twiggy-like with the help of mascara.
  • Start at the cheek bone and apply blusher on the skin. If you have a whitish or a dark complexion, go for a rosy shade and for a fairer complexion choose a peachy shade.
  • For the lips, there are a variety of shades to choose from colour palettes of pink and red.

This look gives one’s face a more polished and finished look, hiding all the scares and marks. An easy make-up regime for a flawless look.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use a foundation which has an SPF content, to save you from the sun.
  • The look is a sober one, with no requirement of kohl. Once can apply kohl to highlight the eyes more.
  • Make sure to use a concealer if you have got eye-bags or those left-over pimple marks.
  • Make sure to scrub the lips before beginning as the more pink they appear, the lovelier.

Wear this look with confidence and a big wide smile, and you are ready to rock this look.
