After hydrating your skin...
Step 1 Apply the foundation evenly blending with a sable brush ensuring the application is also even on neck and décolletage.
Step 2 Peach taupe tones are trending - blend your chosen tone, contour your eyelids, and with the remaining shadow on the brush, sweep below your eyes. Blending with fingers also allows the powdered shadow to blend and look creamier and peachier.
Kat’s recommendations: MCoBeauty Eyeshadow Trend Palette, Shade ‘Apricot’ OR Natasha Denova Coral Eyeshadow Palette, Shade Dakota
Step 3 Choose a creamy concealer to even out flaws and blemishes. Be generous under eyes and blend with fingers towards the bridge of your nose to create even highlights.
Kat’s recommendations: REVLON PhotoReady Insta-Sculpt Duo OR BECCA Cosmetics Light Shifter Brightening Concealer
Step 4 Choose a thick dark Mascara for maximum intensity. Layer up quickly one eye at a time so you're working with the creamy texture before setting.
Step 5 Brush up eyebrows and fill in a shape that suits your brows. Flickering a slanted brush ensures a natural tint.
Step 6 Get a creamy glow on with a generous size brush, highlighting over cheekbones, jawline and down your neck. Avoid your nose, forehead and chin.
Step 7 Choose a peachy flesh lip colour to compliment the eyes. I chose two glossy tones, keeping it fresh for day time.
HOW TO BEACH WAVE YOUR HAIR
Tips before starting:
Ensure your hair is completely dry.
In terms of which way to hold the tongs around the front and sides, horizontal is preferable as the curl will fall more naturally.
Step 1 Begin by sectioning out your hair, starting with the nape. You will find working in easy sections you can manage the Hot tong much easier.
Step 2 Slightly twist each section of hair before wrapping it around the wand allows your curl to be more textured with the end result.
Step 3 Finish off your hard work with a texture spray & a salt spray.
Kat’s recommendations: I used, Kevin Murphy ‘Bed Head’ and “salty spray by EVO. “Hair Resort Spray” by Kevin Murphy is also a favourite.
Step 4 Massage your scalp for a few minutes for maximum volume after products applied.
