Katie Jane Hughes' Top Picks
STEP 1
PREP WORK
Applying a good primer will automatically give your makeup longevity. Tap into skin after your moisturizer to help create a smooth, even base for your foundation.
STEP 2
FIX YOUR FOUNDATION
A foundation with added skincare benefits that also helps to blur out lines and imperfections is a good bet for a long-lasting look.
STEP 3
ERASE IMPERFECTIONS
Once you've perfected your base don't let pesky blemishes and imperfections ruin the effect. Tap on a creamy concealer where needed and blend for a seamless, unified finish.
STEP 4
STAYING POWER
The best powders will lock your look in place all day without feeling heavy. Dust over your makeup and any areas prone to shine, and negate the need for touch ups.

The nature of long-wearing products means that any dry or dead skin will be made all the more obvious. Exfoliating your skin well first will mean you get a really smooth, even skin texture.

BARELY-THERE BASE
On days when you don't need much, give skin a beautifying boost with lightweight formulas that offer subtle, buildable coverage.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE
Katie Jane Hughes' Top Picks
STEP 1
DAILY DEFENCE
A good SPF should be the mainstay of any routine; opt for one with light-reflecting and blurring prowess to enhance the natural finish of your skin.
STEP 2
A TOUCH OF COLOR
A tinted moisturizer that adds tonality to your skin is the perfect option for days when you want to look pulled together but not overly made up.
STEP 3
CONSIDERED CONCEALER
Tapping on concealer only where it's needed is the right approach to avoid a blanket veil of coverage. Press onto blemishes and imperfections to allow the formula to melt in.
STEP 4
BOOST YOUR GLOW
Creamy highlighters flood the face with flattering light; tap onto the high points of your face (cheekbones, bridge of your nose and brow bones) and blend in with your fingers.

Layer sheer base products in by using your fingers and patting them into skin so they melt in. Then push the bristles of a big brush into loose powder so it becomes like blotting powder, and dust on top.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE
Katie Jane Hughes' Top Picks
STEP 1
PREP N' PRIME
The key to an even, smooth-toned base is to layer a long-lasting primer underneath your base. Choose one that's simultaneously hydrating for more comfortable coverage.
STEP 2
COLOR FIX
Don't compromise on your glow; choose a full finish foundation that creates a polished effect but still looks like skin. Use a brush or sponge to work into skin, buffing as you go.
STEP 3
POWDER POWER
Fading concealer is a tell-tale sign of migrating makeup. Lock yours in place with a finely-milled translucent powder which will ensure it stays put without looking chalky.
STEP 4
SPRAY AND SET
Helping to infuse skin with a luminous glow, a few spritzes of a setting spray will ensure your coverage doesn't transfer, fade or flake throughout the day.

I love a full coverage finish as it just looks really done and polished. To stop it looking too flat, layer a hydrating product underneath your base for a bit of natural dewiness.

Katie Jane Hughes' Top Picks
STEP 1
A RADIANT START
A primer that boosts your natural skin even without makeup on top is the holy grail. Look for one that diffuses light to instantly lift your complexion.
STEP 2
SUBTLE COLOR
To blur rather than mask imperfections and add a natural glow, look for a tinted moisturizer that will add warmth while imparting subtle coverage.
STEP 3
LIT UP LUMINOSITY
Dial up the glow with pearl-infused pigments swept across cheekbones and brow bones. For extra dazzling impact use your fingers to press onto eyelids and your cupid's bow.
STEP 4
SET IN SPARKLE
Nothing brings skin to life post-makeup, more than a spritz of a refreshing setting spray. Mist over your face and whenever needed to impart a glowing, glossy finish.

This is cool-girl skin, it looks fresh, healthy, effortless and modern. I like to use an illuminating product like a tinted moisturizer, so dotted everywhere. Then just go in with a concealer only where needed.

STEP 1
Sun Shield
A good SPF is a beauty bag essential whatever the weather, but during sunnier months add one to your routine, apply after skincare and before makeup.
STEP 2
A Hint OF COLOR
A tinted moisturizer is the ideal option for skin that still needs to look polished, albeit it in warmer temperatures. Work into skin using your fingers or buff in with a brush.
STEP 3
Bronzed Goddess
Bronzer is a failsafe way to enliven skin but a multi-tonal option will add depth and dimension to your complexion.
STEP 4
Powder up
To stop your makeup from slipping throughout the day, opt for a lightweight, water-infused powder formula. Dust over and reapply when needed.

Be sparse with your products and don’t use too much of anything. Try and sheer everything out and spread it across your face with a brush as it will mean there’s less to slide off when your skin warms up.

Build on your perfect base and give skin a golden glow with radiance-boosting bronzers, blushes and self-tanners.

STEP 1
SKIN FINISH
Start your complexion off on a tanned track with a few drops of a fool-proof self-tan dropped into your daily moisturizer.
STEP 2
BUILD YOUR BASE
A glow-enhancing primer/serum will add radiance to your finished look even after you add foundation. Choose one with light-reflecting particles for the most flattering effect.
STEP 3
TURN UP THE HIGHLIGHT
Once you've applied your foundation, add extra radiance to your complexion with a swoosh of shimmering highlighter.
STEP 4
GOING FOR GOLD
A dusting of bronzer on cheeks and down the bridge of the nose is the easiest way to impart a healthy glow into skin. Look for matte formulas for a natural sun-kissed effect.

I love this look as a finisher for every complexion look. Use a big, fluffy brush to dust on bronzer but make sure you go right into the hairline for the most natural effect. Then dot on your illuminator with your fingers on to any high points of your face.
