Younger looking skin is currently one of the biggest trends in cosmetics. The more natural and flawless your skin appears, the better. Applying a soft concealer to cover flaws rather than masking natural radiance with foundation is a good starting point. Then all you need to do is highlight your favourite features and you've got a fresh and beautiful face in no time at all.
Here are the latest products available to help you perfect that defined and gorgeous glow.
Tom Ford Beauty have developed the innovative Shade and Illuminate palette which gives professional results fast. Already a firm favourite with celebrity makeup artists, this palette gets convenience and colour spot on. Use the brush to shade the dark colour under cheek bones for sculpting, then smooth the highlighter over cheekbones for a subtle sexy sheen.
If you're on a budget, the GOSH BB Skin Perfecting Kit is a highlighter and concealer in one affordable handy palette. The product has three steps that combine to help you sculpt your makeup like a true professional. Use the light shade under eyes to lift and the darker colour to conceal in areas where you need cover-up, such as around the nose. Apply the highlighter under brow bones and on top of cheeks, or any area you want to emphasise by catching the light.
To perfect the Spring/Summer 13 trend of the effortless 'no makeup look' sienna X has created three illuminating pencils that are simple to use and effective. Available in gold, silver and bronze, each pencil can be used to highlight and illuminate natural or self-tanned skin. Use along the brow bones, décolletage, cheek bones and collarbone to get a shimmery and eye-catching look.
The colours are ideal as the weather warms up, as they look best when applied to tanned skin at the end of the day for a subtle evening sheen. You can also use the water resistant smudge-proof pencils as part of an everyday makeup routine thanks to the on-trend shades. © Cover Media
