The monsoon is the perfect time to experiment with make-up. Ditch the heavy eye shadows and the bright lip colours and opt for the rain-kissed look instead
Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor recently confession that she looks her best sans make-up. Turns out the famous vegetarian might have more than her peaches-and-cream complexion and stress-free life working in her favour.
Here are three tips and tricks for those looking to recreate that fresh-faced look:
For the face:
Foundation and concealer are crucial when opting for the "no make-up" look. Wash your face with a cleanser and pat dry. Smooth a little concealer under the eyes and over blemishes. Most women make the mistake of opting for foundation several shades lighter than their natural skin tone, given our obsession with fair skin. The trick, according to make-up experts, is to actually get one shade darker than your skin tone. Apply a few dabs of foundation on the forehead, cheeks and the chin. Gently spread the foundation, using fingertips and pat with a sponge for a smooth finish.
For the eyes:
Ditch the black eyeliner, instead make mascara your friend. Make sure you invest in one that's waterproof to ensure you don't have those ugly streaks weeping down the side of your face when it rains.
For the lips:
Lighter skins can opt for nude lipstick shades with pink tints in them. Lip shades with red tints or browns are better suited to darker skins. Start by lining the lips with a nude liner and then fill in with colour. Add a dash of clear gloss over lips for a radiant look.
Final touch:
Lightly dust on some illuminator over cheekbones using a blush brush, and voila, you're good to go!
