Our very own English rose; Emma Watson says that she often leaves the house having applied only moisturiser. Well that's all very well and good if you have flawless skin and beautifully sculpted cheekbones but what about the rest of us? We have to work a bit harder to achieve that 'I just woke up looking this beautiful' look.
As a make up junkie I am guilty of having perhaps piled it on in the past. When you look back at photos and realise that your face is a completely different colour to your neck, that is when you know you should put down the bronzer.
Now I'm not saying that we should relinquish the fake tan and throw out the fake lashes but perhaps just tone it down a bit. There is nothing wrong with a bit of fakery now and then, having just dyed my mousey brown hair to crimson red I can vouch that it is not a bad thing to fake it sometimes.
So here is my take on natural beauty, again with the beautiful Albana.
Lets start with skin, a great complexion is the key to this look. If like me you struggle with your skin I have two tips for you. The first is drink your eight glasses of water a day, it really does work and you will notice the difference, guaranteed! The second is Sudocrem; yes it is primarily for nappy rash but if you read the small print it is for acne as well, it is my secret weapon for fighting spots.
Also I have swapped a heavy foundation for Maybelline's BB cream which has helped my skin dramatically. After applying, set with a translucent powder to keep it in place all day. Next use a highlighter dabbed underneath the arch of your eyebrow and on your cheekbones to give a beautiful glow.
A pinky blush on the apples of your cheeks, a natural beige eyeshadow and lengthening mascara keep the look polished. Finish off with a topknot so as not to distract from your stunning natural beauty.
