Make-up needn’t be complicated, and sometimes, it’s the simple makeup looks that work the hardest. Streamlining your make-up look not only saves time as you’re rushing out of the door, but as a result, it can also look more refined and understated. It’s the equivalent of removing an accessory when your outfit is looking a little OTT, right?
Having badgered make-up artists backstage at a number of fashion weeks and photoshoots, one thing I’ve always noticed is that they’ll often highlight one feature on the face, with everything else pared-back. It might be immaculately groomed eyebrows, a French-girl red lip with minimal eye-makeup, or perfectly glowing skin that takes centre-stage (ie, some no makeup-makeup trickery at work). These are the principles that keep your makeup looking modern and fresh.
With summer on the horizon, now is the perfect time to refresh your makeup. I caught up with expert makeup artist Lan Nguyen-Grealis on simple makeup looks that won’t make you late in the mornings.
