ORANGE IS

THE NEW RED

A bold, matte orange lip set off

by luminous, lightly bronzed skin

is a summery twist on the perennially

chic red-lipsticked-bare-faced-French-

girl look. To bring subtle warmth and

a natural-looking sheen to the skin,

Keeling advises blending a few drops

of Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid

Base in Nude Radiance, £34, with tinted

moisturiser. Once applied, use fingertips

to dot a little more of the featherweight

Fresh Glow fluid on cheekbones, over

eyelids and down the centre of the nose

for light-bouncing highlights (keep

not-so-pretty shine away from the sides of

the nose, chin and forehead with blotting

paper or a light dusting of translucent

powder). Using a large round brush, blend

a liquid bronzer, such as Nars Liquid

Bronzer in Laguna, £28, under the

cheekbones to create a subtle contour.

Mascara on the upper lashes only adds

definition without being distracting. With

skin and eyes enhanced, all that’s left

is to slick on a bright lip. Matte lipstick,

more than any other texture, requires lips

to be in peak condition (scrub gently and

be generous with lip balm for ongoing

maintenance), but to cheat a smoother

surface, a primer is a worthwhile step.

MAC’s Prep + Prime Lip, £14, is a

classic buy, filling in lip lines as well

as delivering a matte layer that lip

colour can glide over and grip.

finish to any cream or powder blusher

(blush on its own doesn’t add much

shape or contour to the face).

Now take the blusher over the centre of

the cheeks and lightly over the nose. The

idea is to look sun-flushed, which is why

shades such as watermelon and terracotta

work well. If you’re fair, go peachier.

The darker skinned you are, the brighter

or deeper a colour you can take.

With sun-kissed cheeks, keep make-up

on eyes and lips pared down. The look

needs nothing more than a single coat

of mascara, eyebrows brushed through,

perhaps enhanced with a little pencil,

and the lightest dab of lip balm. Orange

nail polish optional.
