Whether you’re rushing out the door or juggling a packed morning, a little glow goes a long way. Thanks to makeup artist Katli Motete from Kay Nail and Beauty Bar at Fleurdal Mall, you can achieve a quick, simple five-minute look – perfect for the working woman.
Remember, less is more!
- Start by prepping your skin
Begin with a lightweight primer to smooth texture and ensure long-lasting wear.
- Define and shape your brows
Fill in your brows with a powder that matches your hair colour. Then, clean up and shape the edges by tracing a small amount of concealer underneath the brow line and blending softly for a lifted, defined finish.
- Even your complexion
Smooth on your foundation, blending thoroughly, bringing it down the neck for a natural, cohesive look.
- Brighten with concealer
Apply a concealer one shade lighter than your foundation to the under-eye area and any points needing brightness, blending seamlessly.
- Set for all-day wear
Use a pressed matte powder to lock in the base and add light coverage.
- Add dimension
Lightly contour with a soft bronzer and finish with a fresh pop of blush on the cheeks.
- Enhance your eyes
For work, stick to neutral tones: apply a deeper shade in the crease to define, and a lighter shade in the inner corner to brighten.
- Line and lift
Line the eyes for subtle structure and apply volumising mascara to open up the lashes.
- Finish with a polished lip
Outline with a long-lasting, natural lip liner and top with a glossy finish you can easily reapply throughout the day.
