After-Sun Make Up

What is prettier than a slightly tanned face after a day at the beach? To emphasize this look it doesn’t need a lot of make-up. Back in Santorini, I only applied a bit of primer to hydrate my skin after the sunbath and some eyeliner to open my eyes and make them sparkle. I hope you like my little tutorial and you can try it soon when you’re on holiday!

Step 1: Apply a small portion of primer on your entire face to get a smoother complexion and that extra amount of hydration. I really like the Photo Finish Foundation Primer from Smashbox because it makes your skin look healthier and because it's oil-free, it also prevents your skin from looking greasy. 

Step 2: Draw a thin line above your upper lash line, finishing with a cat-eye. For the lower lash line, I prefer drawing the line only till the middle (otherwise I always feel a bit too grungy). 

Step 3: Use a small eye liner brush to blend in the eye liner. This helps to create a smoother look. Then apply two coats of mascara and you’re done.
