BEAUTY BUZZ
THE LATEST GEL-TEXTURED PRODUCTS FOR A DEWY SKIN
FOR those in search of a plump, healthy-looking complexion, jelly-like cleansers and colour cosmetics are replacing mattifying formulas and powder products.
People don’t want to mask their skin with heavy foundation, they’re happy to spend more time (and money) on their skincare instead, creating a base that doesn’t need concealing.
GET A HEALTHY GLOW
SO how do you achieve a dewy, no make-up make-up look? It starts with cleansing.
Using a non-foaming gel cleanser means your skin isn’t stripped of all its oils, leaving it soft and smooth.
Try Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser, £15, right; Plenaire Rose Jelly Gentle Make-up Remover, £30, left;
Nuxe Insta-Masque Exfoliating and Unifying Mask, right, £19.50.
DON’T SPARE THE BLUSHES
AFTER a light layer of tinted moisturiser, or a dab of concealer only in the places where you feel you need it, a jelly blusher will add a dewy wash of colour.
Use your fingertips to tap and blend it onto the apples of your cheeks. A little goes a long way, so start with just a touch and build up the colour. Try Rimmel Jelly Blush 003 Peach Punch, £7.99, Superdrug, above;
Boutique Convertible Eye and Cheek Jelly
Pearl, £4, Sainsbury’s, right.
CHOOSE YOUR COLOURS
IF you have red undertones in your skin, look for a peachy hue, while olive or darker skin tones look beautiful with a pop of pink.
Try Pixi Sheer Cheek Gel Flushed, £14, Marks & Spencer, left; Chantecaille Cheek Gelee in Lively, £39, Space NK, below.
