Keeping up with international makeup trends is key and here’s a quick how-to, to get that instant Hollywood airbrushed effect with a sheen on your skin that glows, especially for the Summer! Benefit has the correct tools to achieve just that. Benefit has the correct tools to achieve just that.

Step 1:
We start off by using a light, mousse-like foundation called “Some Kind of Gorgeous”. This foundation comes in a handy compact with application sponge and mirror for those quick touch-ups before the papparazzi hits you! It has a very lightweight feel and covers really well, especially if you layer. It comes in two shades, light and deep. Both are suitable for most skin tones and gives your skin a lovely airbrushed finish.

If you are not a fan of thicker coverage, why not try Benefit’s You Rebel Lite or Dark Tinted Moisturizer. The texture is creamy smooth and does not provide very thick coverage, which is exactly what you need if you want to look more au naturelle!

Step 2:
Next up, define your brows with a easy brow grooming kit, also from Benefit. This little compact can even be carried in your purse!

Step 3:
Sweep a light dusting of Benefit Powderflage under your eyes to reflect away light, which emphasizes dark circles and puffiness. This ultra fine powder has miniparticles that work together in creating a effect of evenness in colour and texture – perfect for long nights!

Step 4:
Use Benefit Moonbeam to lightly accentuate eyelids, brow bones, bridge of nose, cheekbones and temples. This adds to that goddess look we’re all after.

Step 5:
Layer loads of Bad Gal Lash Mascara to open up eyes and create that false eyelash effect.

Step 6:
Use a blush with a bit of pop, although a matte one, to create some summer color on your cheeks. Apply this in a circular movement on the apple of the cheek, but stop before you look like you have apple cheeks! Try the ultra popular Benefit Posit Tint, and blend with fingertips before the color sets.

Step 7:
Liven up lips with Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in a brighter or darker color to attract attention to your Hollywood pout.

Step 8:
Lastly finish off with a luxurious treat called Bathina which is a body shimmer finish that leaves your skin shimmery, nourished and perfumed delicately. The lovely tin and velvet applicator to apply this soft butter-like cream is one of Benefit’s best sellers ever!

Now grab your clutch and strut, ladies. Hollywood and the papparazzi awaits!
