MUMBAI: Dewy, luminous skin is always in trend, but there’s something so sophisticated about a flawless matte finish. Matte is the season’s biggest make-up trend. Matte is when your face isn’t shiny. Your makeup won’t look dewy.

Who wants to gleam and glow when you can always look trendy?

Many of us may wonder whether the matte look is meant for us. Well, here’s the answer: matte make-up makes us look younger and accentuates the features of our face, which otherwise weren’t noticed.

Shimmer-free makeup has never been a hotter make-up trend, and you might end up trying to achieve the same by using lots of powder! But you could be going wrong with this. One needs to prep before applying makeup for radiant skin with minimal lustre and a fresh, natural look!

It is important to cleanse, tone, and moisturize before moving ahead with the basic regime.

Prep and prime

This is one of the most crucial parts of the make-up routine and helps your make-up glide well on your face. An oil-free moisturizer with a primer base can make your skin look flawless.  Lakme 9 to 5 is a good option if you are looking for something to suit your budget.

A blush can be used to highlight the cheek bones and enhance the depth of your face. While contouring is a go-to option to make the face look perfect in a span of seconds, blush can make the make-up stay longer.  Nykaa’s Get Cheeky! Blush Duo is good for getting a silky and luminous finish enriched with radiance-boosting minerals.
