#Unfiltered: Asma Al Aloosi

Visual Creative Asma Al Aloosi shares her top tips for the no make-up, make-up look and we are taking notes

Step 1. Firstly I always moisturise my lips, under my eyes, and my whole face using Kiehl's avocado eye cream, Charlotte Tilbury magic cream for my face and my trusted friend Vaseline for my lips. Step 2. I fill in and set my eyebrows while my skin absorbs the cream. I brush my brows, then fill them in with my Goof Proof brow pencil from Benefit, I use shade 3.5! I brush my brows up with my 24-HR brow setter from Benefit. Step 3. I apply my foundation using a brush, which is from H&M (it is my ultimate go-to) I always use the Mac studio face and body foundation for my skin, it gives me a great base to work with. I only apply it on the bottom half of my face since I don’t like putting foundation on my forehead. Step 4. After this, I apply my Maybelline instant age rewind concealer in medium using a damp beauty blender. I then set my concealer with my Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder.

Set 5. I then apply the volume glamour max mascara from Bourjois to emphasise my eyes, I apply very carefully and brush away and upwards to avoid clumpy application. Step 6. I then add a little bit of blush on my nose and cheeks to get a natural sun kissed look, I either use the blush from Naked flushed palette or the Maybelline’s peach pop blush to give my skin natural colouring. Step 7. I then apply a little bit of highlighter on my nose and my cheekbones using the Becca opal liquid highlighter. Step 8. Lastly I remove the excess Vaseline from my lips and apply the Charlotte Tilbury lip liner in pillow talk all over my lip.

FACING THE TRUTH:

The best facial out there right now is the Booster facial by Biologique Rechierie, this will give you everything you need for smooth, even and glowing skin. I recently found out that the W Hotel have facials available which is awesome, you can head to Embassy of Beauty as well for a consultation. These products clear up acne prone skin and really make you glow.

TOP OF THE POPS:

My top tips for good skin are NEVER go to sleep without washing your face! I wash my skin with exfoliant as well, but never too harshly. I use a soft flannel and luke warm water to cleanse. Rose water is my secret to gleaming skin. Add it to clean skin, it behaves as natural toner. Always moisturise your skin, I use heavier moisturisers before bed so my face can soak it all up while I'm asleep. Water is your best friend, drink lots and you’ll notice your skin clearing up within days.

THE VOW TO BROW:

Good brows are essential, they define your face and can really give you that extra punch you need to finish off your look. To ensure the brows are on-point, always brush upwards, it creates an illusion of thicker brows. Also, buy yourself a brow kit (I love Benefit) and always use a clear mascara to hold them in place, that way your browgame will be on point all day long.
