A DEWY, GLOWING COMPLEXION
If you have a good skincare routine, you’re probably on your way to achieving that soft, smooth, radiant complexion. But if what you want is an immediate cover up, then the right makeup products will do the trick, says Mandy Liyu, makeup trainer for Giorgio Armani Cosmetics.

But before you start applying your makeup, let your moisturizer sink into your skin. Layering colors onto moist skin will result in makeup that’s sloppy and more prone to sliding out of place later on. Allow 5 minutes to let your moisturizer settle in, says Liyu. “Try using a makeup base like Giorgio Armani Luminous Make Up Base SPF13 (RM149) before your foundation,” she suggests. “It not only protects your skin from the sun’s rays, but also provides a dewy base.”

Picking the right foundation and how you apply it can also make a huge difference, adds Liyu. Try dispensing a 10 sen coin-sized dollop of foundation into your palm and dotting it onto your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin before blending. For a softer, fresher look, add several drops of an illuminating cream into your foundation and apply.
