BEAUTY HIGHLIGHT One of t

BEAUTY HIGHLIGHT One of the best ways to take your look from average to amazing is to strategically place highlighter on the high points of the face. Dab a small amount of product onto the tops of your cheekbones – working from the apple of each cheek up towards the hairline. This adds light, makes skin appear more hydrated and decreases the look of fi ne lines. It will create a gorgeous pearlescent glow that fl awlessly refl ects light from all angles. Dusting a shimmer powder on your décolletage is another surefi re way to get the party started. Apply it beneath the brow bone to lift the eye or add a touch of product to the eye’s inner corner for a fresh, modern look. Softly highlighted cheeks are always a winner. Using a fan brush, dust a powdered bronzer onto the cheeks before applying a shimmery cream or powder blush. Remember, creams can work in tandem with powders once the application remains light.

If heavy eye shadows aren’t your thing, use a vibrant lip shade with a gloss or matte fi nish. Painted pouts are the ultimate pickme-up and speak of grooming and attention to detail. QUICK TIP Our fave colours this season are beachy and bold – think fuschias and corals. NAILED IT Complete your party look with a slick of colour on your nails.
