1. Instant Reset
Don’t want to put on a full face of make-up? Apply a powder formula to freshly-moisturised skin (it makes the powdery texture adhere better to skin) to get an instant glow. A primer works just as well and makes the product stay put longer.
2. Cream Control
When applying a cream formula, place two fingers next to the nose and the fold-up below the cheekbone, and blend upwards—it creates a lift in the face.
3. It’s a Match
Mixing two complementing shades can help you create a multi-dimensional effect. All you need to do is pick a light and a dark hue—apply the lighter one on the apples of your cheek and the darker one right under it, and you’re done.
4. Blush It Right
Using the right tool to apply blush is essential, as it literally does the job for you. Pick a large, fluffy brush to dust your cheeks—it absorbs less product and leaves you with an even finish that looks oh-so-natural.
