Morning Dew
Make Up Artist Carla Levy explores the idea of changing your make up pallets to adjust accordingly to the changing seasons.
As the seasons change the summer green leaves will very soon flush with rich golden tones, thus our skin regime and make-up palettes should also adjust.
FACEON Magazine chats with make-up artist, Carla Levy. She tells us how to look our very best, whatever the weather!
“After months of being told how to look natural, bronzed and sun-kissed, why not spice up your make-up bag with the bold and the daring, the dark and defining, those alluring textures and sumptuously dramatic tones?
Experiment with metallic eyeshadows and loose pigments to create a subtle wash of colour or a layered, intense shimmering hue. Pigments such as Old Gold and Blue Brown by MAC can be used wet to create a bold effect on the eyes, or if you want to retain your summer skin a little longer, use a lighter shade in gold or pink with a powder brush to create a subtle cheekbone highlight.
The autumn season is a time to repair from the summer damage and to feed the skin with nourishing moisturisers and facial treatments. Apply a rich night cream such as the Ren Frankincense Revitalising Night Cream. Allow the cream to work its wonders while you sleep and in the morning your skin will be dewy, youthful and rejuvenated.
If your skin is really suffering, I strongly recommend Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, a skincare classic that relieves dryness, scarring and irritated skin. It is also a popular alternative to lip balm as it not only effectively heals chapped lips but also provides a subtle tinted lip-gloss effect.
Remember, it’s not just what you put on your skin that changes its appearance but also what nourishes from within. Summer is hotter and we generally drink more water, so be sure to drink just as much in the cooler seasons to flush out any toxins and to stay hydrated.
Above all, it’s about having beautiful skin; the canvas has to be clean before you start to paint!”
