Social media is abuzz with this unconventional blush colour, which works just as well in powder and cream form. “You can either apply it directly on the apples of your cheeks for a flushed effect, or on your lids, nose and above your cheekbones [blended into your hairline] for an ’80s vibe. Start with a small amount of blush and build it using a fan or powder blush. Cream and liquid blushes are easier to apply and create a light, subtle finish,” Nyss explains.

Bare skin base

Serum-like foundations that let the natural texture of your skin shine through are in vogue right now, says Nyss. Many formulas also provide hydration and anti-ageing benefits. “No one wants to sport a cake-y face or layers of foundation. Now, the emphasis is more on skincare with the foundation adding a light, luminous touch. Cream contours over powder work better with such bases,” she elucidates. 

Over-lined lips 

The quest for fuller, more luscious lips isn’t a recent phenomenon, but make-up lovers are trading in fillers for an overlined, defined pout. “Use a slightly darker liner and accentuate the middle portion of your lips,” Nyss suggests.
