TEIGENit all over the face using a large soft brush. Want to
use a highlighter but worry about keeping it subtle?
A soft, fan-shaped brush ‘picks up less powder and
allows you to apply it in just the right place, such
as above the cheekbones’, says Kellie. ‘Only use
highlighter on smooth areas of skin, as otherwise
it can accentuate any unevenness, including lines,
pores and wrinkles,’ she adds.FAKE IT
‘Self-tanning waters are speedy to apply as they
absorb quickly, allowing you to dress without having
to wait around for the tan to dry,’ says tanning expert
James Read. ‘Transparent water formulas are
hydrating, go on clear and give you a subtle, natural
glow without transferring on to clothes or sheets.’
Alternatively, opt for tanning drops that you
simply mix with your favourite moisturiser –
they’re customisable, so you can have a light
faux-glow in spring and a deeper tan in summer.
For glamour on special nights out, or if you want
instant colour glow without a tan, pick a confidence-
boosting body-blurring cream for gleaming
colour that washes away, so you won’t have to
worry about streaks.BEST FOUNDATION
