Foundation- Is she wearing make-up?
Yes, the no makeup make up is back. The runways of Spring/Summer 2017 saw super uber natural looks with the Stella McCartney, Michael Kors and Alexander McQueen collections. Of course this is only good newsfor gorgeous flawless beauties of the catwalk. All other mortals will have to work harder than ever to achieve that ‘natural look’. Finding the right foundation is essential for this. According to a new American study, a whopping 73 percent of women surveyed, say that finding the right foundation is a real challenge. Despite the rows and rows of foundation shades that line shelves at stores, 54 percent of these women also complained that finding their colour match is their number one issue. To make matters even more complicated, 62 percent have problems applying foundation correctly. If in doubt about which foundation to use, seek advice from your beauty consultant at point of purchase.

More tips for flawless foundation
Less Powder – More Glow
This season, face powder usage is going down. Dewy, ‘good to glow’ skin is sought after for Spring Summer 2017. This means the departure of the super matte look which liberal use of powder achieved. If you really want to illuminate and glow, we recommend that highlighter be applied before foundation. A product like Vichy Slow age Corrective Care Fluid Moisturiser is perfection for this perfection look. Yes. Before the foundation!! Foundation is inclined to look a little dull and matte as the day progresses, so top makeup artists are advising the application of concealer and highlighter first and lastly, the foundation. Good skin care is always important, but it becomes vital when we seek a flawless and pure look. The Clarins, Vichy, La Roche-Posay and Elizabeth Arden skin care ranges are amongst the classic and most popular as there are products for every skin type. Vichy Ideal Body 3 Gold Oil
Soft Contours- Warm Blush
Subtle is the watchword of the season. This year Giogrio Armani and Guy Laroche collections saw a warm taupe colour contour, with a yellow brown bronzer blended with a peachy blush. The overall effect leads to a style that is set to replace the Instagram contour trend. This mean that application will not take up so much time but more importantly, it looks better in real life. Blushes in pinks and peaches are back and will lend a more youthful bloom to your summer makeup. Clarins Bronzing & Blush Compact
Bold Eyes
Lavenders, baby blues, yellows and whites abound. If you are bold enough to wear these bold shades, you will be right on fleek for this season. Frosted shadows are also really popular on the catwalks as many of 2017’s trends are about texture rather than colour. Check out Clarins Essential range palette for a non clumping smooth effect. Leave the autumnal smudgy shades of autumn and embrace the bright summer shades. Mix it up with brave new palettes. Clarins The Essentials Eye Make Up Palette
Pucker Up for the summer -Lips:
Last year’s lips were matte and liquid matte. That is so Last year my dear! Lip gloss is back. Gloss it up with shades of pink, lilac and nudes. It brings a refreshing change, adding dimension, shine and youth. Lips are metallic too! (If you have the nerve to wear them). Gold and silvers were puckering up all over the catwalk lips. If you are a traditional lipstick fan and prefer the more classic approach, try the very pretty Lancome Le Lip liner and Lancome Lip Lover High Gloss Lipstick Balm, or not go for a half way option and take a look at the Crayola Clinique set of vampy and youthful lip colours.
Nails:
Lips and tips are metallic this summer. Shades of copper, silver bronze and gold are shimmering in the heat. Bring your metallic nails right up to date with ombré nails. Fun and light colour on the top of the nail gradually blends into a darker polish toward the tip. Getting the perfect ombré effect can take time and a little practice. A perfect activity for that girl’s night in. All you need are two co-ordinating polishes, a make-up sponge and an online tutorial.
