Trending blends

From the ceaseless drizzle that spoiled most of our Eid plans to the sudden storms that leave us drenched in a matter of minutes, it is very essential for the water to wash away our pain (and the streets) but not our makeup. Although the very basic is to have a healthy and nourished skin, but to have the instant flawlessly feminine camera-ready outlook we have to use products which offer a natural and glowing look, easy to use and those that have a good oil-balance.     

FOR THE FLAWLESS SKIN
In the rain or under the scorching sun, sweat-proof and water-proof makeup is preferred for our weather conditions. Although the colour and brand range is not too wide, they tend to not get smudged or melt or wash away.  And to enhance the long lasting effect it is recommended to use a primer to set a smooth base for face makeup and minimize the appearance of pores and wrinkles. Our top 3 picks for primers are Smashbox photo finish foundation primer, Clinique Superprimer which corrects dullness and Mac Prep+ Prime which is naturally glow-boosting.

A popular alternate to the traditional foundation is the BB cream and CC cream. BB cream is lighter than foundation, and so it is a convenient selection for everyday use. It also comes with anti-oxidants and SPF, and with a complete coverage you can also protect your skin. Rimmel BB cream 9-in-1 skin perfecting makeup and Bobbi Brown BB cream are trending as they are capable of priming, concealing and brightening the skin. Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream visibly reduces fine lines and gives a subtle glow. But among the fluids, traditional foundation is still preferred to achieve the required tone by custom mixing them, as they come in dozens of shades. You can also use foundation after applying BB cream.

With the new uproar of HD foundation, BB cream is a second choice compared to the traditional foundations that give a naturally flawless and no-makeup look. The picture perfection can be attained with Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation, NARS All-day Luminous Weightless Foundation and Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid makeup which creates a demi-matte finish and makes the skin appear illuminated and naturally fresh. Another type of foundation is the serum foundation which has skincare benefits that improves the skin overtime, like Sephora Collection Teint Infusion Ethereal Natural Finish Foundation.

Once you have attained that flawless skin, tune back in for the next time when we go for stunning eyes to go with your stunning skin!
