Winter might be on the way but that doesn’t mean you have to look as washed out as the weather.
At Pure-Beauty we love it when the leaves change colour and we can pop out for hot chocolate after a walk in the park.
We have put together some easy to follow beauty tips that will make you glow as bright as the autumn leaves and pretty sunset.
To keep your skin plumped and totally hydrated, trying massaging it every day. Not only will this cleanse your face and rid it of make-up and dirt, but it will also help stimulate collagen and drain toxins so you look as fresh as the morning snow. Who knew?
As the sun fades, try using a concealer that is the same shade as your skin. Many of us go lighter but this can actually make you look as you have been skiing and left your goggles on! For the best results, tip your head down and look straight into the mirror, as this will expose the dark areas you want to work on. Apply make up with a good quality, clean, pointed brush and gently smooth with your ring finger.
Once you have perfected your foundation and concealer, next you ideally need to use a powder to keep things in place all day, or evening, long. To get the best coverage, use smooth, sweeping strokes across puffed out cheeks and whilst you might look funny it will allow for a natural finish and the powder won’t settle in fine lines and age you.
If you are getting ready in a rush, it can be easy to over do the blusher and look doll-like. Don’t panic and wash it all off and start again. Instead, simply apply a little more foundation over the checks and blend the mistakes away. Magic!
Mascara can transform any look but so can a smudge. Don’t wipe your face clean, however bad the lines are, instead put a little eye cream on a cotton bud and gently wipe away the excess mascara and start again.
Cotton buds can also be a life-saver when it comes to a home mani or pedi. We all make the odd mistake here and there, but if you dip a bud in remover and carefully work around the nail, you’ll create perfection in no time at all. Always remember to go for two coats of colour and a top-coat if you’re looking for a professional finish that will last.
Go for a moisturising lipstick that brightens your skin and makes your eyes really stand out even on the dullest of rainy days.
Rather than constantly putting your hair under the strain of straighteners, why not create waves and volume the natural way? Shampoo and condition your locks and towel dry. Then twist strands of your hair and pin up your head. Sleep with the pins in and by morning your hair will be clean, bouncy and healthy.
Keep a lip balm and hand cream in your bag at all times and you will be able to keep the cold from irritating your extremities.
Beauty doesn’t stop as you sleep you know. After you cleanse, tone and moisturise, why not snooze on a silk pillow? It might sound a bit OTT but because silk is naturally hypoallergenic it doesn’t zap moisture so your skin will soak up the goodness of your products and you will wake will a dewy glow.
It goes without saying, if you eat a balance diet, drink at least eight glasses of water a day, take exercise and sleep well, these can also help you look and feel your best whatever the weather throws at you.
