TIP#1
All products having a matt effect are absolutely essential to minimize skin blemishes. As a matter of fact, the opaque effect casts light on eyes and face skin, making skin texture look more compact and thinner.
TIP#2
When skin is well moisturized and exfoliated, the foundation effect will be natural and homogeneous.
TIP#3
To get an even and natural tanned look, before applying bronzing powder, the best is to use a suncare, bronzing-effect compact or gel product all over the face, choosing a colour that is slightly lighter than the bronzer one. This way you will not feel the product on your skin, but you will get the perfect base for a sun kissed complexion. Then apply the bronzer with circular movements, starting from the centre of the face, towards the edges, and particularly on cheekbones and prominent areas.
TIP#4
To locate the exact spot where you want to apply blush, you need to do the following two things in front of the mirror: first smile a little, to locate your cheeks, apply blush on this area, with circular movements, choosing rosy or peach shades to give complexion a healthy look. Second, smile and kiss, keeping your mouth closed, to localize your cheekbone muscle area. In this case, apply blush, choosing shades of brown or even bronzers, under the cheekbone, starting from the cheek area next to the ears, going down towards the apple of your cheek, blending on the face contours. The fuller and darker the colour will be, the more it will help to give shape to your face.
TIP#5
To enhance the colour of your cheeks if you have a really compact skin texture, you can use lipstick, choosing rosy to peach shades, and applying it with the tip of your fingers with circular movements. Use a clean finger to blend it well with the colour of your skin. Cheeks will look naturally coloured and luminous.
TIP#6
If you use concealer to mitigate dark shadows (under the eyes and around nose and mouth) over foundation, you will use a smaller amount of product and the result will be much brighter, if you apply it before foundation, the risk is to wipe it out while applying foundation.
TIP#7
Never apply foundation on eye contour.
TIP#8
Apply blush in the shades of rose, on the apples of your cheeks to illuminate fair complexion, choose it in the shades of peach to brighten up medium to dark complexions.

TIP#1
If you apply gloss on the contour of your lips, you will visibly enhance their volume. If you wish to matt your lips, you can use a concealer that is lighter than the colour of your skin, creating a delicate contour above lip line… the visual result is of greater volume!
TIP#2
To get a natural, "watercolour" effect with lipstick, simply use your fingers to apply it. Just take some product with the tip of your middle finger and dab on lips, starting from Cupid's bow, and along the contours. The result will be absolutely natural, even when using full coverage lipsticks. Blot with a paper towel for an even more transparent look.
TIP#3
If you apply concealer around the lip line before applying lip liner pencil and lipstick, you will conceal shadows and dyschromia so that outlining lip contours will be much easier.
TIP#4
If you use a lip liner pencil that is a shade darker than your natural tone and you apply it slightly above lip contour, you will naturally enhance the volume of your lips.

TIP#1
Eye concealer should always be of a yellowish-orange tone, to visually neutralize the purplish and bluish colour of dark shadows. As per the colour-overlap theory, if you put yellow over purple and orange over blue, the second colour gets neutralized.
TIP#2
To avoid eyeshadow from creasing during the day you should always use an eyeliner pencil first, choosing a colour that matches the one of the eyeshadow, blend it over the eyelid, the colour should be full on the lash line, and then apply eyeshadow. Tap the powder with applicator for a full colour effect, then blend it for a natural effect. The eyeshadow will look perfect for hours.
TIP#3
Brown eyes absolutely stand out if you apply a blue eyeliner pencil over the black one.
TIP#4
Purple eyeshadows and eyeliner pencils are perfect for green eyes; brown ones are great for blue eyes, and blue ones for brown eyes.
TIP#5
For greater lash volume, apply mascara once and, before it dries out, apply it again. It is very important to apply it starting from the base of lashes, going up with a zigzag movement.
