Makeup Artist Ash Camille Shares Her Top Beauty Tips For Spring
Lip service
As the last chill of winter thaws, it’s time to ditch your heavy foundation and bold lip colours (we love them, but they’ve had their moment) for lighter, more radiant options.
With warmer days ahead, a makeup refresh is basically mandatory, and who better to help us than renowned makeup artist Ash Camille? It’s out with the dry, dull vibes and in with a fresh, sun-kissed complexion.
Ash is here to walk us through her go-to tricks for flawless skin, that coveted dewy glow, and a perfectly defined eye. From the best products to use to her tried-and-tested techniques, Ash will have you looking and feeling radiant for spring in no time.
1. Hydrating and prepping the skin is a must for creating a flawless base and looking after your overall skin health. I absolutely adore the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base to prime and moisturise the skin whilst also adding a dose of antioxidants.
2. Switch to a lightweight foundation or tinted sunscreen for a more natural “no makeup” makeup look. This will help your skin breathe while still providing enough coverage for daily use. My top pick this season is Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint.
3. Achieve a fresh, dewy look by using a highlighter on the high points of your face, such as cheekbones, brow bone, and the inner corner of the eyes for a radiant glow. Try Rare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter in Exhilarate.
4. Use cream blush to add a subtle flush to the cheeks. Apply on the apples of your cheeks and blend out by tapping with the tips of your fingers. Try products that also give a dewy appearance to the skin like Nudestix Nudies Bloom All Over Dewy Color Blush in Cherry Blossom Babe
5. Create an effortlessly defined eye look with a smudged liner. I love using the Mecca Max Eye Max Eyeliner Pencil in Brown Eyed Girl. Define the eyes and blend them out with an eyeshadow brush to create a softly smudged look.
6. Finish with plump glossy lips. One of my favourite go-to lip glosses is the Bobbi Brown Crushed Oil Infused Gloss in New Romantic.
7. Don’t forget to set. As the weather warms up we need extra longevity to our makeup by using setting sprays. This will help combat moisture and keep your look fresh. My favourite product for this is Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray (it also smells divine).
