nude by nature

Summer is coming for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere, and you’ll likely want to spend it looking like a natural glowing goddess. Fortunately, you can achieve this look quickly and easily with just a couple of drugstore products. Complexion: 👸🏻 I used the discontinued Covergirl Outlast Stay Luminous foundation in shade 810 Classic Ivory. It’s medium-coverage, natural finish, lasts well and has a touch of dew that makes dry skin practically sing. I concealed using REVOLUTION - Conceal & Define Infinite XL Concealer in shade C1, a creamy concealer with great coverage. On top of the fresh foundation, I applied some nude by nature - Touch of Glow Highlighter Stick in shade Bronze to the back of my hand, and used my fingers to dab it onto my cheeks, starting near my ear and moving toward the apple of my cheek. This formula is a bit gritty and can get clumpy, but spreads well enough with the fingers and lasts fairly well. Alternatively, you could use any drugstore bronzer with a bit of shimmer in it. This adds extra glow to the cheeks! Apply some of the nude by nature - Touch of Glow Highlighter Stick in Champagne to the back of the hand, and dab on the high points of the face for added shine. Lightly set the face with translucent powder, focusing on the under eyes, and lightly disputing over the cheeks and forehead. The less, the better, so you don’t remove too much dew! I strengthened my bronzer slightly with the Revlon Sculpt & Highlight Contour Kit, using the bronzer shade to set and deepen the bronzer on my cheeks, and define my jaw. Finally, I used a touch of Juvia's PLACE - The Saharan Blush Palette shade Tau to add some colour to the apples of my cheeks. I love this palette - look at my profile to see my full review! Pro Tip for Enhanced Natural Glow: ✨ You can add an extra dewy glow to your face without sacrificing powder and staying power, by lightly dragging your cheekbone highlighter down to the corner of your mouth. This simple addition pulls the highlighter across the apples of your cheeks to create a natural glistening effect that simulates dewy skin! In my look, I used some “Ringlight” from the MORPHE - The James Charles Palette to add even more glow to the Champagne stick. Enhancing the Eyes: 👀 Pick up some of the shimmery bronzer and swipe it over the entire eyelid, blending it out slightly. This is a quick way to add definition without spending a lot of time on your look. Take a touch of black or dark brown eyeshadow on a flat eyeliner brush and use it to fill in the outer half of the upper lash line. This adds definition to your eyes and makes the lashes appear thicker, without becoming heavy. Finish off with a touch of your favourite mascara, Mine was MAYBELLINE - The Falsies Waterproof Mascara
