In this month’s beauty low-down, we bring you valuable advice from THEFACESHOP. Dedicated to all you beautiful ladies out there, here are 10 simple beauty hacks worth knowing!
 

1. Achieve blemish-free skin

The basics of a natural look is blemish-free skin. Achieve it using 2 products – foundation and concealer. First even out your skin tone with a foundation, then use a concealer with high colour pigments to hide blemishes.

Highly recommended by THEFACESHOP is the CC Cushion Intense Cover – not only is it moisturising, it provides all-day coverage – and we can say from personal experience that no retouching of make-up was needed all day when we tested the product!

2. Remember to hydrate your skin

We’ve mentioned this more than once this season, but THEFACESHOP also says this - spend more time prepping your skin so that it stays hydrated. This also means getting rid of those heavy foundations!

Use a foundation with a light-weight formula instead, then use a concealer to conceal flaws afterward. Lastly, finish off with a gentle “mattifying” facial mist to make all that effort last!
 

3. Peeking Eyes

This season is all about “peeking”. This means applying eye-shadow to only half of your eye-lid (both the inner or outer corner of you eye works). A dash of bright yellow on the bottom lash-line or a feline-flicked eyeliner can also give your eyes a pop!

Tip: For eyes that look bright and radiant, try THEFACESHOP’s rich anti-aging eye cream that uses a really exotic ingredient - fermented Tibetan mushrooms! This ingredient provides intense firming and wrinkle care, while the platinum tip applicator cools the eye area and prevents dark circles and puffiness.
 

4. Blushing Cheeks

Did you know that cheek stains work better than traditional powder blushes due to their lighter texture and more natural finish? Powders can also tend to look chalky.

For an alternative take on blush colours, try lilac instead of the usual pink or rose. The slightly frosty purple creates an instant radiance when swirled around the cheek!
 

5. Lips on Fire

If your lips have an uneven tone, lightly dap your foundation over your lips before applying lipstick. And instead of applying your lip-stick directly, always use a lip brush for a more precise and longer-lasting finish!

In terms of colour, go for a brighter lip colour if you dare! Think tones like fire-engine red, orangey-red, pink-red and even deep wine purple, all with either a slight sheen or matte finish. (Make sure they match your skin tone.)

If your lips need deep hydration and plumping, try THEFACESHOP’s Collagen Ampoule Lipstick. It’s a premium lipstick that uses collagen to reduce lip wrinkles and provide deep moisture for really dewy looking lips!

6. Roses and Oceans

If you haven't updated your colour palette recently, “Rose Quartz”, a warm rosy pink, and “Serenity”, a cool tranquil ocean blue, can bring a natural touch of rosiness to your complexion!  Wear these colours with a layer of soft brown eyeliner, plenty of mascara and a pair of bright coloured lips for a totally wearable, K-inspired look.

7. Glam up your look with less

If you have a meeting or a business dinner, glam-up instantly by using colours that have earthy tones and a slightly shimmery finish. This will make your skin look refreshed with a subtle hint of luminescence. Pair with a satin bold lipstick and you’re good to go! This method is simple, mistake-proof and flattering, perfect for light make-up users.
 

8. Make-up bag must-haves

Make sure you have a good foundation, an eyebrow pencil and a bold lipstick in your office make-up bag for effortless and effective touch-ups.

As for a great day-to-night tool, use a highlight stick to enhance your complexion. Simply apply over your eyeshadow and lips for a soft glow!
 

9. The secret of facial oil

THEFACESHOP says that it is always good to keep facial oil around with you too. It can instantly solve fizzy hair and dry skin at the same time! You can also mix it with your foundation or any other skincare products to improve their texture and application.
 

10. Don’t let your products go to waste

Do you have skincare products that you have used only once or twice? You can try mixing products so they don’t go to waste. For example, by mixing them with your foundation you could enhance the overall benefits of your coverage. Mixing two different lipsticks together could also result in a whole new colour.

Mixing products also helps to shorten your application time and the effects of your products!
