The killer question: How to achieve the perfect light makeup base for summer?
Maybelline Makeup Artist Carole Colombani teaches us how to transition our heavy makeup routine into a light, healthy complexion that is perfect for summer.
Answered by Carole Colombani, makeup Artist at Maybelline
Because it is not conceivable for beauty addicts like us, to do without looking flawless in summer and try out the trends suitable for chilling by the beach – we asked Maybelline makeup artist to explain to us how to best prepare our skin for a whole new look which will make sure our faces won’t be melting:
The perfect summer makeup routine:
You’ll have to go a little easy on the foundation, and here’s how:
– Days 1 and 2: Dilute your foundation in one to two drops of serum for two consecutive days.
– Days 3 and 4: Then mix your foundation with your moisturizer. To start mix in about 25% cream and the next day go 50/50.
– Day 5: Use a BB cream for a healthy glow. And if necessary, top it off with a little bronzer.
In less than a week, you would have made a transition to a less loaded complexion and put your skin in the “holidays” mode.
What if we need more coverage?
If your skin is not so flawless and you still need some more coverage, use a blur product as your base, that will help you unify and enhance your complexion especially if you got some tan. Use the BB cream and when you want to return the foundation for even more coverage, mix ½ day cream with ½ foundation, then go to ¼ cream and ¾ foundation the following days.
