SIMPLE Summertime MAKE-UP

Jay Jay’s essentials

BASE:

For glowing, dewy summer skin, your new bestie is primer. ‘A good primer is like sanding a wooden floor. It creates a smoother, less porous surface.’ 1) Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Pre-foundation Primer, $59.

BROWS:

The current brow trend is natural, but still defined. Jay Jay’s tip: ‘make sure your eyebrow pencil isn’t too dark. Use a dry kohl pencil because they only deposit a light amount of colour.’ 2) Mikatvonk Auto Eyebrow Pencil, $20.

CHEEKS:

‘It’s all about a fresh pop of colour on cheeks this summer,’ says Jay Jay. Create the perfect flush with a cream blush instead of powder. Apply with your ring finger and dab the colour on

the apples of the cheeks. 3) Luma Just A Touch Lip And Cheek Tint, $29.95.

LIPS:

When it’s hot, a bright lipstick can be high maintenance. Add a clear or lightly tinted gloss, ‘with not too much shimmer – you want dewy shine,’ says Jay Jay. 4) Frank Body Send Nude Lip Tint, $29.95 (sold as set of three).

EYES:

On eyes, opt for pretty pastels or nudes for a subtle wash. ‘Bronze and taupe are the two colours every girl should have.’ 5) Covergirl Total Tease Mascara, $21.95.

DEFINITION:

Maximise your glow. Create definition by highlighting the high points including cheekbones and the nose bone. ‘Use a fresh orange or champagne-toned highlighter if you have a medium or warm skin tone, or a pearl-toned highlighter if you have fair skin.’ 6) Revlon Photoready Insta-fix Highlighting Stick, $29.95.

CONTOUR:

With a matte bronzer, lightly contour the top of the forehead (where it meets the hairline) and around the temples. ‘As well as creating a subtle, warm depth of colour to define the face, using bronzer here instantly makes your eyes pop that little bit more,’ says Jay Jay. 7) Natio Mineral Pressed Powder Bronzer, $19.95.
