Backstage Beauty: SS20
We help you recreate the hottest makeup trends from SS20’s runways
Many of the Spring 2020 trends have been directed at makeup maximalists, but with most of us embracing the current pared-back lifestyle, we have decided to focus on the microtrends that follow the less-is-more aesthetic. From glossy lips that instantly perk up a complexion, to bold brows that help to disguise weeks of a missed threading appointment, undone bohemian beauty is exactly what we need to keep ourselves sane amongst the chaos.
Who:
Effortless and fresh-faced beauty has never been more popular, but it does require a little effort on your part to achieve that polished finish.
Pro Tip:
“It’s very important to wash the face before makeup application, keeping the ‘canvas’ clean and free from natural oils. Go for Embryolisse Lait cream all over the face and neck with a little bit of Dior Skin Glow foundation for very natural coverage – not only will it increase the glow, but it will also leave the skin looking natural and fresh. For the extra shine to the skin, I would add Strobe Cream from MAC to the foundation, and use MAC Matte Bronzing Powder to contour the face depending on their bone structure. Dab a small amount of concealer under the eyes to avoid caking.”

THE LOOK
Who:
We will never get enough of that golden vacation glow. For a no-fuss approach, invest in a gradual selftanner for the face so you can wake up with sun-kissed skin, or mix a few glow drops with your foundation or primer to achieve a dewy finish. Add dimension to your complexion by working with two shades of bronzer, blusher and highlighter. Pro Tip:
“The Milk Makeup Highlighter stick or Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector liquid highlighter are great options for achieving a glowy, lit-from-within effect. You can lightly brush a translucent powder on any areas that may become shiny throughout the day.”
