MAKEUP:

If you think back to the protagonists of your favourite movies, you’ll probably remember that the makeup looks were all about letting your natural beauty shine through. So, when it comes to makeup, it taps into the minimal no-makeup makeup vibe that’s been trending for the past two years. Here’s how to rock a look that will turn you into the main character:

– Prime Time: Lay the foundation for a flawless face by applying Erborian – Pink Primer & Care. Think of it as your makeup’s BFF – it smooths out your skin, blurs imperfections, moisturises your skin and helps your makeup last longer. 

– Glow Getter: Now it’s time to turn up the radiance with a touch of Rodial – Soft Focus Glow Drops. This serum combines skincare actives with a subtle pearlescence to illuminate the complexion and achieve a lit-from-within glow – hello, luminosity!

– Complexion Perfection: Opt for a lightweight foundation or a tinted moisturiser with SPF, such as Hydropeptide – Solar Defense Tinted SPF 30, that adapts to any skin tone, letting your natural beauty shine through. It also moisturises, protects, evens out and brightens your complexion.

– Lash Love: Flutter those lashes, darling! Swipe on a lengthening or volumizing mascara to instantly open up your eyes and give you that doe-eyed effect.

– Statement Lips: Your lips deserve some love too! Pick a lip colour that speaks to your mood – whether it’s a classic red for confidence, a soft nude for a natural look, or maybe a bright pink, in line with the Barbie-mania. Don’t forget to moisturise with lip balm beforehand for a perfectly smooth pout.

Whether you’re rocking a fresh-faced glow or going all out with vibrant colours, let your makeup be an extension of your personality and make you feel like the leading star in your own story.
