The 2nd look on my Spring Makeup Trend series!
The newest runway/ red carpet trend….Athletic skin! If your anything like me, you are probably wondering when it became a trend to look sweaty! We have spent our lives freshening up after a hard workout, and now we are sitting in front of our vanity trying to recreate the look with out shedding a drop of sweat. So drop your mattifying powder, and check out my easy breezy how to guide on how to achieve this look!
- Prep your skin! This look looks best of flawless or faux flawless(like me! lol) skin. Reduce redness and pores by using a good exfoliator, cleanser, and toner. If you have unruly pores like me, make sure to use a pore minimizer before priming your skin.
- Apply your foundation and concealer as normal. For an extra athletic look, using a mineralized foundation to achieve a super dewy finish!
- Use your favorite highlighter and highlight your face in a “Diamond” shape. Follow my diagram below.
I chose to highlight and keep the look subtle, but you can add more on! |
Tips:
- There’s a difference between athletic and greasy…know your boundaries! Keep your T-zone matte to avoid looking greasy.
- Wondering what to use a fan brush for? This is a great tool for achieving this look. You can also use a small dou fiber brush.
- Extra glow? Contour your face and then pack on some highlighter on your cheek bones to look super radiant!
I might do a video tutorial on how to achieve this look, but for now….Glow on girls!
