Guide to summer beauty

World-renowned make-up artist Bobbi Brown tells us how to prep for summer.

MAKEUP KIT
Summer makeup is less about rules and more about having fun and doing what fits your mood. Before you apply any colour, however, make sure your skin looks flawless. During the summer, your skin tone can get darker depending on how much time you spend outdoors. Check your face products (concealer, foundation, and powder) to make sure they still match your skin -if not, you may need to go a shade or two darker. If you've been spending most of your days inside and look a little pallid, give your skin a boost with bronzer (choose from powder, cream or gel depending on your skin type). When applying bronzer, focus on the cheeks, nose, and forehead, which is where the sun naturally hits your face.

PREP YOUR FACE
Moisturiser is the key to fresh looking skin. It creates the perfect base for makeup. For normal skin, use a lightweight moisturising lotion. For dry skin, use a rich hydrating cream or balm. For oily skin, use an oil-free formula that hydrates and helps control oil production. And always begin with a lightweight eye cream to ensure that under-eye concealer blends in smoothly and evenly.

COLOURS FOR 2015
SpringSummer 2015 is about bringing out your natural gorgeousness. From an illuminating moisture balm and skin-energising foundation to colour collections that offer everything from subtle nudes to fresh brights, this season is simple, easy and flattering. On eyes, cheeks and lips, it's all about subtle, light-reflective nudes that instantly give you a lift and a healthy, natural glow.

FAUX PAS
The biggest one is women wearing the wrong shade of foundation.

Foundation should match your skin exactly to help you achieve a smooth and even finish. To get the right one, swipe several different shades across your cheek and blend it in using your fingers. It's better to test the foundations on your face than on your hand because that's where the makeup will eventually go. Opt for the shade that you can't discern from your skin.
