Nude makeup with glowing skin
Carrying neutral makeup is not everyone’s cup of tea. But, time and again Sara Ali Khan has proved that the Kedarnath actress shines bright in this look too. Take a cue from her the shot for the latest collection of Ceriz…
How to recreate this look:
- Start with a clean face. Opt for a face wash that suits your skin the best.
- Before proceeding with the actual steps of makeup, moisturise your skin pretty well.
- Create a flawless looking skin texture using foundation and then concealing the extra pigmented skin with the help of a concealer. Finally set with a loose dusting powder.
- Light up your face using few dabs of shimmery highlighters of varied shades. It will bring a 3D kind of effect and sculpted look to your face.
- An illusion creating blush is a must on the cheeks. Pick a silky powdery blush that gives a velvety soft airbrushed kind of colour to the face in an earthy tone.
- Moving to the eyes, a metallic shimmer eyeshadow that can be worn alone or used a base under more highlighting shades. Go for shimmery copper or shimmery red bronze eyeshadow based on your skin colour to match with the rest of your makeup.
- Use a long wear eyeliner near your lash upper lash line and smudge carefully to fade out the crisp line.
- Opt for a deep black kohl on your waterline and define precisely. Mascara coats are a must use to make the lashes look thick and full of volume.
