The Spring Cloud Skin for a Summer Wedding

To achieve a radiant yet matte complexion, try the ‘cloud skin’ technique or use blurring foundations such as SYLFACE® Glowing Tinted Serum in Foundation by the French brand SYLOOK PARIS®.

This helps control shine whilst maintaining a natural glow.

Preparation and Complexion

The secret to a velvety finish without a cakey effect lies in thorough moisturising, followed by targeted powder application.

• A moisturiser: Apply a light cream to prevent make-up from accentuating dry patches,
• A luminous matt foundation: Opt for fluid, lightweight formulas such as SYLFACE® Glowing Tinted Serum in Foundation, which offer buildable coverage whilst allowing the skin to breathe and subtly reflecting light,
• A mattifying loose powder: Apply a light dusting of loose powder only to the central areas (forehead, nose, chin) using the soft precision setting brush from the ESASH Artistry Collection to blur pores without making the face look cakey.

Highlighting

A matt complexion doesn’t have to mean a flat one. To catch the light, it’s essential to work on the contours:

• Liquid highlighter: Choose a glitter-free highlighter (preferably pearlescent or liquid) to illuminate the face’s high points (top of the cheekbones, Cupid’s bow, bridge of the nose),
• Satin blush: To contour the face without adding an oily sheen, a creamy blush with a velvety finish is ideal.
