Ummi’s Top Tips

-

1. For a perfect canvas, firstly hydrate skin with a tinted moisturise­r foundation.

2. Next, apply a hydrating primer for extra glow and to help your makeup last longer.

3. To cover blemishes, use a corrector first (Bobbi Brown Corrector). To correct dark undereye bags, use peach for fairer skintone and orange for darker skintone. Always use a corrector before a concealer. If you don’t have a corrector then utilise two concealers, a darker one to correct undertones and then a lighter one to cover.

4. After the corrector, use a concealer (Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer).

5. Next, apply a serum foundation (Three Angelic Synthesis Foundation Serum), followed by a foundation (MUFE Ultra HD Perfector Blurring Skin Tint). If you have oily skin, use Nars Velvet Matte Skin Tint.

6. For eyes, use a brown or nude eyeshadow to contour just on the crease to make eyes look bigger and awake.

7. Use a mascara to thicken lashes (Lancome Grandiose).

8. To define your eyebrows (FaceShop Designing Eyebrow Pencil) avoid using black as it makes your face look severe. Choose a shade that is one shade lighter than your hair colour.

9. For lips, choose a coral or taupe coloured lipstick (MAC Creme Sheen), or if you don’t want a very nude look, then go for a softer pink.

10. For highlighte­r you can opt for liquid or powder (let liquid foundation dry first). In our humid weather highlighti­ng your entire face may result in streaking, so just highlighti­ng cheekbones will do.
