Zoom in on lightness

This summer, look for the bare skin effect in your makeup: the ultra-natural look will take centre stage. Illuminating, translucent powders will be in vogue, and subtle blush will be a must for contouring and lifting cheekbones. The clear, fresh face like the just out of the shower look will be on full display. And with a hint of playful audacity, we’ll add bright, summery makeup.
