Eyes, Lips, Face — Our Ultimate Makeup Guide
Achieve a flawless makeup look every time with our comprehensive guide to face, eye, and lip makeup. Whether refining your daily beauty routine or preparing for a special occasion, these tips will help you enhance your natural beauty with foolproof techniques. Let’s explore the essentials of achieving the perfect makeup base and captivating eye makeup, as well as how to achieve a luscious, long-lasting lip colour.
Face Makeup
Beginning your makeup routine with the perfect canvas is crucial, and preparing your skin is a must when looking to achieve a photo-ready, flawless finish.
Start by prepping your skin with a primer or serum, giving it time to absorb fully. If your skin is in need of hydration, opt for a deeply moisturising primer like the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. If your skin type is on the oilier, more sensitive side, opt for a calming product like the Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base.
This ensures a smoother application of foundation and prevents your makeup from appearing cakey. Apply a foundation that matches your skin tone, focusing on areas that need evening out. For a seamless blend, use a sponge or brush, working the product outward from the centre of your face. The level of coverage you need will depend on your personal preference (i.e. natural makeup or a more glamorous look) and skin concerns. Browse our foundation range for sheer, light, buildable, medium and full coverage options and find your perfect foundation.
Next, go in sparingly with concealer under the eyes and wherever you need a little extra coverage. Dust the skin lightly with powder to lock in your product and minimise shine.
Blush, Bronze and Highlight to Get that Glow
Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks for a youthful look or to the tops of your cheekbones for a more sculpted effect.
Dust bronzer wherever the sun would kiss your skin—think the forehead and temples, across the bridge of the nose and so on. Highlighter will give you that glass skin effect brushed across the cheekbones, tip of the nose, and above the cupid's bow. Try the Bobbi Brown Nude Finish Illuminating Powder palette to chisel your cheeks and illuminate the skin in one step.
Eye Makeup
Whether you’re aiming to subtly enhance or make a dramatic statement, the key to fabulous eyeshadow is in the shade combination and application technique suited to your eye colour and shape.
For downturned eyes, opt for bold, complementary colours and extend the shadow outward to lift and elongate.
Monolids benefit from layered monochromatic shades to accentuate their natural contour, while almond eyes dazzle in bronzed smokey hues. The Yves Saint Laurent Couture Mini Clutch palettes are perfect for beginners and makeup savants alike.
Round eyes? Achieve depth with a wash of colour, blending meticulously for a soft yet impactful look.
Lip Makeup
Luscious lips start with moisturising care. Exfoliate gently and hydrate with a lip balm to prepare your lips for colour application. For precision and longevity, apply a lipliner to the contours of your lip, and then go in with a lipstick to fill in. Whether you prefer a full matte finish or a subtle sheen, prepped lips will hold colour longer and appear more vibrant.
For a dazzling, high-shine effect, finish with a lip gloss or oil like the cult favourite Clarins Lip Comfort Oil.
