Make the most of natural colour with organic makeup

Women should using organic makeup to 'bump up' the natural colour on their face, rather than applying it heavily all over, according to an expert.

Makeup artist Whitney Sellors suggested to Canwest News Service that ladies should focus on the lips and cheeks when putting on organic makeup.

When applying foundation and concealer, they should use a brush and work outwards from the centre of their face, according to Ms Sellors. The aim is to avoid finishing up with a mask-like look.

'Use a concealer brush to get into the smaller areas - under the eyes, concealing redness around the nose, and when covering spots,' Ms Sellors recommended.

She told the news provider that women should look for foundation, concealer and powder with light-reflective qualities which help to create a more youthful look.

This follows advice from the Daily Record, which recently suggested using a skin illuminator or shimmering cream bronzer to get a healthy glow.
