Nadia Hussain recommends this 10 minute routine for summers!
Since it's Summer's already, you want a fresh, healthy looking skin that lasts all day long. Nadia Hussain has the answer to your problems. She has devised an 8 step plan that will help make your summer's makeup routine much easier!
1. Start by cleaning your face with a toner or a makeup remover to clean all dirt residue from the skin, apart from maintaining the skin pH so that your skin can breathe a little easier.
2. Next up use a moisturise your skin. Now a lot of you may try to skip this step for an oily skin. The fact is, all skin types whether dry or oily need hydration. Plus it allows the makeup to go on smoothly and evenly. Dry to combination to oily, all skin types have moisturisers designed to fit there respective needs.
3. Next use a coverage for concealing mild skin imperfections. Since you are trying to keep it subtle and fresh, skip the corrector and work with just a concealer underneath your eyes and any other areas with pigmentation.
4. Follow with a BB cream. BB Cream's have a dream formula for everyday wear. The formula is lightweight with light coverage that can be built to medium coverage. You can also wear a light wear foundation foundation. You want to avoid any heavy formulas as they can start bleeding through the day and you want to look good and feel comfortable throughout the day.
5. Next apply a pressed powder to lock your makeup. If you have a very dry skin, you can make do without it but for an oily skin, it is highly recommended. Though if you want a dewy look, you can just apply it on your T-zone.
6. Next you want to precisely line your eyes with eyeliner. Do not go dramatic, just keep it simple, plain and sharp. To add further dimension, use a mascara to enhance your lashes. Here is a list of some of the best drugstore mascaras.
7. Then follow with a blush. You want to go for a light, fresh summery hue. Corals, oranges and pinks are the staple shades. Choose the one which flatters you the most. We recommend using a stick blush as they leave a nice dewy finish.
8. Finish off with a hydrating or creamy lipstick formula. Matte formulas can be extremely relentless for long wear hours, so go for an option that is not over the top yet still reflects your personality.
