After attending New York Fashion
Week, I thought it was only appropriate to do a step-by-step tutorial on one of
my favorite makeup trends. The beauty of Spring 2016 was very refreshing! Every
model had a radiant glow and looked very revitalized and bright. Although bold
lips were a big statement during NYFW, my favorite beauty trend was the
“Off-Duty Downtown” girl look. One of the hairstylists backstage at Rag &
Bone said, “So I try to think of who the girl is without being too conceptual
or trendy. The key is texture and I want it to look like she had just gone to
the gym and is not afraid to show off her natural beauty.”
I love a good contouring kit and
my classic red lip, but I am going to try the minimal look a lot more next
spring. I have collaborated with Walgreens to show you how you can get this
look with using drugstore products! Michael Kors, Rag & Bone, Rodarte and
many more looked very golden and keep on reading to see how you can have a natural
glow too!
To start, I use 2-3 drops of this Boots Botanics Smoothing Facial Oil Serum on
a clean face. No matter what your complexion is, this facial oil delivers a
moisturized texture and is rich in Omega oils. Its super lightweight formula
easily absorbs into your skin and leaves a visible radiant glow. You want your
skin to look revitalized and brighter. Don’t be afraid if it looks too shiny
because after you add your foundation, the key is for it look dewy.
Before adding concealer and
foundation, I like to use a few drops of the No7 Protect and Perfect Serum to keep my skin looking young and
avoid my deepest fear, aging. This formula helps tackle blemishes but I use it
daily as an effective serum to reduce any appearance of fine lines.
An additional step that is vital
for this tutorial is the Boots Botanics
Radiance Balm. This balm is the key for your subtle glow. For best results,
apply it over moisturized skin for a radiant base and it also acts as a
lightweight primer for your foundation. It contains natural acids and it
instantly promotes a radiant complexion. Now you are ready for your foundation!
I also add a little concealer to
cover up those dark circles after a long day! Next, I use the Boots Botanics Radiance Highlighter Pen
to add a bit of radiance above my cheekbones as well as reduce the appearance
of the dark shadows. Since we are going for a brightened look, highlighting
your features is key. Continue to highlight above your brow bone, the bridge of
your nose, and above your cupid’s bow.
Since this is a subtle look. I
added several coats of mascara, No7 Lash
Impact Mascara to bring out the lashes. No eyeliner because we want it to
look natural and glowy! I also added the Colour Prevails Shimmer to my lower lash line in a thin line to make them pop.
Now comes my favorite part, time
to make my face look more bronzed and fresh. I lightly used the Boots No7 Perfectly Bronzed Mosaic Bronzer to
give the apples of my cheeks a warm pink shimmer.
I finished the look off with Circa Beauty Lustrous Shine Lip Polish
for a super glossy pop of color. There you have it! It’s simple, dewy, and
leaves you look radiant all day!
