lets get started
Here's how to do it.
It's going to give you enough glow and colour to have you look put together. Without the admin that makes it feel like a chore...
Start with your BB cream
Use one pump, blend with your fingers, or a brush. Work outward from the centre of your face.
Tip: Blend down onto your neck so there's no line.
Add blush to your cheeks
Swipe the blush stick onto the apples of your cheeks. Tap it in with your fingertips or brush.
Tip: Tap, don't rub. It keeps the colour soft.
Use it on your lips too
Take the same blush stick and use it as a lippie and eyeshadow. Using the same blush on your cheeks, eyelids and lips gives a pulled together monochromatic look
Tip: Grab a flat or fluffy brush and add a wash of colour onto your lids.
Finish with mascara
The 'wiggle and sweep' method - wiggle the wand from side to side at the base of your lashes before sweeping through to the tips more product at the roots, creating the illusion of thicker lashes.
Tip: Two coats (waiting for the first to dry before going in again).
When you finally figure out your everyday makeup look, it's easy to stick with it.

Yes, it's a lovely fit for mature and dry skin. It feels creamy and weightless and gives a soft, natural glow instead of a flat, heavy finish. The formula includes glycerin, squalane and sodium hyaluronate.
It won't erase wrinkles, but it's light and skin-like, so you don't get that heavy, made-up look.
Any base can settle into fine lines if you use too much, so start small. This one is light and creamy, with no cakey foundation feel.
Smooth one pump over moisturised skin, blend, and only add a little more where you need it.
We can't give medical advice, and no product suits every skin. This is a makeup, not a treatment, so it doesn't treat redness or any skin condition. It can help even out the look of redness with light to medium coverage.
Check the full ingredients list against anything your skin doesn't like. If you have a skin condition or you're unsure, ask your doctor or pharmacist first, and try a small patch before using it all over.
It's light to medium coverage, and it's buildable. Start with one pump, then add a little more where you want extra coverage.

Use one pump. Smooth it over clean, moisturised skin and blend with your fingers or a brush, working outward from the centre of your face.
