Natural Day Time Looks
Whether your skin tone is light, medium or dark, you can have a natural look that isn't bland, beige or blah. With our collection of make up online, you can achieve the perfect nude look. Our range of foundation from Bodyography and Bloom will allow you to make the most of natural features with soft, subtle make up. But just because you're going natural doesn't mean you can't have that touch of shimmer, sparkle or high-shine.
Foundation: add a sheer tinted foundation with a light to medium concealer. We also recommend using primer before application to make sure your look lasts the entire day.
Eyes: light brown, earthy colors work wonders for natural appeal. Add a full black mascara and place emphasis on the top eye lid to thicken and define lashes.
Brows: use brow gel to smooth and firmly comb your eyebrows into shape.
Cheeks: use a luscious peach blush to highlight your bone structure.
Lips: line your lips with a lip defining pencil and fill in with a luminous pink lip gloss.
Tools:
- Foundation Brush
- Concealer Brush
- Eye Shadow Brush
- Lip Brush
Nails: use a peach or shell pink colored nail polish.
Prime to Perfection
A good foundation will appear flawless and last the entire day with assistance of Primer. Primer is applied to the face before foundation and helps give the appearance of smooth, silky skin. Simply brush on the product and let it soak into your skin before you apply your foundation. Primer repairs and smooths the skin, enabling the foundation to sit perfectly on the crease, making your application last for hours on end. It also helps to prevent the skin from collegian breakdown!
LIDO has Bodyography and Bloom Primer and make up online.
Cheek Make Up Tips
- When applying blush always remember less is more. A natural, subtle or soft look is the key.
- Select your ideal product first. Choose whether that is a sheer cream, mineral blush or powder blush.
- If powder is your number one choice, lightly dip the brush into the powder then lightly tap your Blush Brush before applying to prevent excess colour on your cheeks. Gradually build up your cheek colour to achieve the look you want, rather than applying all at once.
- Brush underneath your cheekbone with a dark powder that is 3 shades darker than your natural skin tone.
- Choose a lighter shade or highlighter and add a gentle glow to your complexion.
- To finish this look, lightly blend to two different shades together.
How to Apply Mineral Eye Shadow
Dry Application - generally dry application is recommended for day wear.
- Dip your brush into Mineral Eye Shadow pot and tap off the excess powder.
- Apply the powder to your eyelid with small, firm strokes. To start, apply lightly and build up as required.
Wet Application - this application is recommended for night time use.
- Before application, place several drops of Setting Gel or water in a Mixing Palette and dip your brush into the Mineral Eye Shadow pot.
- Swirl brush in the Setting Gel to create a wash of long lasting colour.
- Sweep the shadow across your lid or along lash line. To start, apply lightly and build up as required.
- Clean your brush and Mixing Palette with brush cleaner or soap and water after use to keep them in pristine condition.
