The Secret to Nailing a Laidback Beauty Look
Laidback beauty, you know that sort of cool girl makeup where it looks like you haven't made tons of effort but you still look incredible, well there's a secret formula to that look...
Glowy Skin + Natural Tones + Mascara = Laidback Beauty
The key is to start with a glowy base - an illuminating primer or a combination of radiance enhancer mixed with your foundation or tinted moisturiser. All over, go for more glow and less coverage and then spot conceal where needed. If you're prone to shine, but don't want to bake your face in powder then try this clever powdering hack.

By natural tones, we mean bronze, peachy or pinky tones that enhance your natural skintone on eyes, cheeks and lips. Then a little (or a lot of) mascara to enhance and define your eyes. And, it's as simple as that!
