We’ve moved on from the era of full-face ‘Instagram’ makeup up.
Thankfully everything its a little less contrived these days, but it can still seem like getting a polished look requires more than a handful of products and plenty of minutes in front of a mirror.
If you’re on ‘the easier the better’ side of things when it comes to beauty, but still like to feel put together on occasion, these products are perfect. They don’t require meticulous application, nor need extra tools to apply (just use your fingers), leaving you looking fresh and healthy.
Here’s what to reach for, for a hint of colour and glow.
Aleph Concealer/Foundation
A combination product that can be patted on with fingers quickly just where you need a bit of coverage and its plant-based ingredients melt on contact with skin to blend well. If you want a bit more, use a dense-bristle brush to build up colour on skin.
By Terry Brightening CC Serum
A lovely veil of bronzy colour to wear all over that makes you look healthy and glowy in seconds. Blend in down the neck and over the chest for that desirable ‘just come back from holiday’ look without appearing obvious. It’s full of skincare ingredients and can also be mixed with your foundation for extra hydration and radiance, too.
Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush
A true ‘dab and go’ makeup product. Just draw a bit of the cream blush stick on the high planes of your cheeks and blend with fingers for a flattering, lifting look to the face. The colours are natural, fresh and believable and the matte finish means they can be patted onto eyes and lips in a pinch, for coordinated colour.
Natio Eyeshadow Stick
Eyeshadow sticks come in a wide range of price points and colours but their appeal is universal – scribble over lids and blend swiftly with a finger so there are no obvious edges.
Dior Addict Lip Glow Balm
Dior’s hugely popular Dior Addict ‘colour awakening’ Lip Balm now comes in more than 10 shades. Swipe on for a sheer wash of colour that enhances the natural colour of lips and leaves a gentle stain along with quenching hydration.
