British Vogue - 11.2019

I

sn’t the compliment, “You look so well,”

always more of a thrill to receive than

being asked, “What make-up are

you wearing?” I was told the former

countless times after a session with Amalie

Russell, a pro Bobbi Brown make-up artist,

whose skilful layering of products is a trick

worth adding to your repertoire.

First up: texture. “Cream blushers give

a natural glow – they lift complexions

because they catch the light beautifully,”

she says. Next, colour: Russell has a double-

blush approach, applying both peach and

pink tones, one on top of the other, for a

natural result. “Begin with a peachy tone,

applied with a foundation brush on to the

cheeks and up to the cheekbones. Follow

with a pinky colour, just on the apples, and

feather into the peachy base.”

The final addition? A cream bronzer,

which is essential to warm up the skin and

add balance to the flush of blush. Et voilˆ...

a true lit-from-within glow. n
