Keep in Mind
- Sun Protection: To maintain the health and safety of your skin, always wear sunscreen underneath cosmetics. For touch-ups, use a makeup sponge or use a sunscreen stick.
- Natural Glow: To give your cheekbones and temples a naturally dewy, sun-kissed shine, use a cream-based or liquid highlighter.
- Setting the Base: If you have dry skin, stay away from using a setting powder to set your base. For a revitalizing boost, substitute a couple of spritzes of your preferred setting spray.
- Clothes: Natural makeup looks well with a wide range of outfits, from party-ready formal clothing to sporty, casual options.
16. Breaking Tradition
