How would you define this routine
I’d define my routine as effortless winter glam — skin-focused, radiant, and polished without feeling heavy. It’s all about enhancing natural features, keeping the complexion fresh and hydrated, and finishing with a bold yet wearable lip that feels very NARS: confident, modern, and timeless.
Describe the different steps of your routine
1. Perfecting the Base
I start with a lightweight base to even out my skin while keeping it natural. I love a radiant foundation or tinted base from NARS to create a smooth, healthy-looking complexion that still looks like skin.
2. Conceal & Brighten
Next, I use a creamy NARS concealer to brighten under the eyes and lightly cover any redness or blemishes. This step instantly makes the face look more awake and fresh.
3. Warmth & Dimension
I add warmth with a NARS bronzer, softly sculpting the cheekbones and temples. It gives that subtle sun-kissed definition, even in winter.
4. Signature Glow
For glow, I apply a NARS highlighter on the high points of the face — cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow — for that iconic, lit-from-within radiance.
5. Eyes – Soft but Defined
I keep the eyes simple and chic with neutral NARS eyeshadows, blending soft browns or rosy tones. I finish with mascara to define the lashes without overpowering the look.
6. Cheeks with a Flush of Colour
A touch of NARS blush adds life to the face. I love a shade that gives a natural flush, making the skin look healthy and youthful.
7. Lips – The Statement
To finish, I go for a bold or berry-toned NARS lip for winter. I often pair a lip pencil with a lipstick or balm for definition, comfort, and long-lasting colour.
