Key to fresh make-up
>> Opt in favour of concealer and avoid full coverage foundations.
>> On an extremely hot and humid day, stay clear of eye make-up and opt for lips tints and colours. Those with a desire for a statement can go all out with their nails.
>> Some make-up products are either water-based or oil-based. For better results, use products that are either or, mixing them is a sure way for a make-up meltdown situation.
>> Use minimum products.

What's hot?
Be it Milan, Mumbai or Melbourne, the 'no make-up' make-up look is the current favourite beauty trend. What I love about this trend is that it has as much to do with healthy living and wonderful skin as it is about make-up. This is a positive message that make-up artistes need to encourage more. Make-up brands are tapping into this with new ranges of nude shades which also contain some skin care benefits such as argan oil. Feeling and looking good should be equally important. As we move into summer, healthy, fresh and dewy looking skin will make you look and feel great. There's no need for full coverage — a little concealer where needed, some pretty lip shades and colourful nails will have you turning heads for the right reason. In this heat and humidity, allowing your skin to breathe is all the more important.
