This season's base makeup focuses on soft, velvety, flawless skin. The key, however, is to keep a natural radiance on the high points of the face, such as the bridge of the nose and the cheekbones. You can see this in the looks from Isabel Marant and Chloé. There, the skin tone was evened out cleanly and the lips were given a natural flush. On the areas that catch the most light, like the nose bridge and cheekbones, a natural contouring technique brought out a glow from within the skin.If you are worried about your face looking oily or turning dull and grayish over the day (darkening), make full use of a long-wearing foundation or cushion foundation. For an effective finish, first apply a radiance base that lightly evens out your skin tone. Then pat on a thin layer of foundation with a sponge, and gently blend it out with a brush or your fingertips (Hyangjang, 623).
