Dewy,Highlighted Makeup Tutorial feat. L’Oreal Paris Infallible Reno Liquid Foundation

Hi guys,

Remember I had reviewed the L’Oreal Paris Infallible Reno Stay Fresh 24H Liquid Foundation HERE, also showed the swatches and demo.

Today I am going to create a soft, dewy makeup look and also show you guys how and where exactly to highlight! Haven’t you heard Strobing is the new contouring! Oh yeah 😉 Well strobing is nothing but a fancy term for highlighting. I have always loved highlighting and I am crazy about highlighters. (I have tons of them from liquid to powder) I was never too much into contouring.

Basically, strobing can be achieved with a few simple tips:

1. Infuse your skincare & makeup i.e mix foundation with your moisturiser for a dewy,soft finish. Add a tiny amount of highlighter too. (liquid or powder)

2. Skip pressed powder except if you have very oily skin. Try using it only on the T-zone

3. Highlight all areas where light naturally hits your face i.e. center of your forehead, brow bone,inner corners of eyes, center of your nose, high planes of cheekbones, cupid’ bow and the chin. See the pic below I have marked the areas. Go easy on the forehead and chin, usually just the residue in the brush.

4. Make sure to blend it all.

Let’s take it step by step:

Step 1: A clean canvas. Cleansed face, free of anything. You can use a primer if you want your makeup to last longer.

Step 2: Mix your foundation and moisturiser in equal amount, you won’t need a lot of foundation in this case. Add a tiny bit of highlighter. I am using a powder highlighter here.

Step 3: Dot it all over your face and blend it with a brush or your fingers.

Step 4: Apply a concealer on problem areas or to hide dark circles. I have skipped a concealer here.

Step 5: Highlight the areas marked here. Take very little highlighter on the brush at a time. Always tap the brush to get rid of excess and go slow as you can always add but not remove. Blend it all.

Step 6: The complete highlighted face 🙂

Step 7: Apply rest of your makeup. Eyeliner, lipstick and the usual 🙂 And tadaa..you are done!

I have used the L’Oreal Paris Super Liner Gel Intenza in Diamond Black and winged it and the L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Extraordinaire in Rose Symphony for the lips.
