The Clean Catwalk : Foundation - Dewy vs Matte


To create this natural, glow make-up I colour-matched my model using foundations from the Kryolan foundation palette. I applied the foundation all over the face with the Kryolan foundation brush and pushed the product into the skin with a wedge sponge to create an even coverage with a natural finish. I then used the Kryolan concealer palette to brighten under the eyes. I powdered very lightly on the forehead, nose and chin with the Illamasqua translucent loose powder with the Kryolan powder brush. I then realised the face looked a bit more matte than I liked so, I went in with the Kryolan glamour glow palette and used the lightest shade to highlight the high points of the face. I think that the lighting really hits the highlight in the right place and gives a beautiful glow to the face.






To create this matte, flawless base I used the same foundation as above. However this time, I powdered all over the face to give a very matte finish. I then decided to contour the face slightly as I felt that the face was very flat. I think the contouring adds to the look and makes the make-up look more natural. I think that my model has a very clean, clear complexion that has a natural glow from the light.
