Although looking distinctly undone may not be as On Trend this
season, there is a new twist on this oh-so-popular makeup look, based firmly on
the ‘barely there’ philosophy. Keeping an uber natural palette is still the key
to pulling off the best nude look, but makeup should now be seen. Take foundation-
the full coverage kind is now desirable again, leaving your face looking perfectly
polished. How about lips? Make a statement- not with bold, loud colours but
with smooth, matte finishes in muted tones. Nude is still hot... just not as we
know it.
Vapour Atmosphere Soft Focus Foundation (£41) balances all
skin types and provides a buildable, medium to full coverage. This
revolutionary formula lets your skin breathe but with a finish described as
‘flawless’ and ‘worth every penny’ by our reviewers (read them for yourself if
you don’t believe us!) the difference between using this product and going bare
faced is more than a little noticeable, yet still ultimately gives you a natural
look. Perfect!
Go for a lipstick in a sophisticated nude shade to
accentuate the lips in an understated yet obviously groomed way. Ilia Lipstick
(£19.95) in shade ‘Funnel of Love’ would be my choice. In a yummy soft nude
with peach undertones and inspired by the look of the iconic Brigitte Bardot,
this one is a winner and ideal for this look.
The main effect of a smoky eye is the definition it gives
your peepers, but you can still accentuate the eye area with a neutral palette.
Dr Hauschka Eyeshadow Palette 01
(£31.95) gives you everything you need to create a defined chic look. For
daytime or night, the four shades of brown glide and blend seamlessly; creating
a beautiful finish has never been easier.
