Rose Gold & Glowy: A Festive Beauty Tutorial

Post in collaboration with bareMinerals

Day to day, my most common make up look is forever something rosy, glowy- and yet always matte enough to cover up whatever mischief my skin is probably playing up to underneath. It’s the look I turn to again and again, and something that is not only perfect for day-to-day but looks beautiful with a little added glow for the party season too (plus, if you don’t fancy shopping a new outfit, beauty is the next best thing to play around with)!

So, when bareMinerals got in touch to let me know about their beautiful Give The Stars Christmas gift sets and campaign, I was more than a little excited to combine some of my favourite products of theirs (as well as a few new introductions) to create something beautifully festive and absolutely wearable.

Having been one of my favourite beauty and skincare brands for what feels like forever, I was hugely excited to explore their collection a little more and pick out some of my favourites for this- because as well as having some beautiful gift sets, it’s their ethos which is just as much a treat as the presents themselves.

1. Now! To the look! The first thing I always begin with is primer. Taken from the Supernova Space Glossary, I used the Prime Time Foundation Primer base for a matte, even blurred finish. I find it so important to make sure my skin is as oil-free and clean as possible, and this primer is the perfect place to start.

2. Saying that, I truly think the real bareMinerals stars of the show are their Mineral Original Loose Powder Foundations. Having never used anything like this until I tried this- I was genuinely blown away by how gorgeous this foundation is. If like me you have combination skin and don’t love a heavy cakey coverage, this is so worth adding into your makeup bag.

Not only does it apply beautifully, but gives the perfect build-able natural matte coverage- without looking chalky or heavy in any way. It’s a true wonder product- and means you can easily skip a setting powder if you really want something light and breathable (that still lasts), too.
