How To Apply Makeup In The Right Order For Your Best Base Yet

"Bronzer should be used to give you a healthy, warm complexion, whereas blusher, gives you a pop of colour", says Lisa. Whether you use a powder, cream or liquid bronzer, the application can be the same for all.

Whether you use a powder, cream or liquid bronzer, the application can be the same for all.

"The quickest and easiest way to apply your bronzer, is by doing a figure of three either side of the face, starting at the forward, going down o the cheeks and then under the jawline", says Lisa. "This will give you a soft, natural contour."

Don’t forget to blend down the neck too, so that your neck matches your face.

Lisa's faves: Hoola Caramel, £26, Benefit, Soleil Ta De Chanel, £36, Chanel, Matte Bronzer, £8, NYX.

STEP 6: Blusher

Peaches, pinks, and terracottas - the world of blusher can be a big one, but once you've found your ideal shade, application is easy.

"The quickest way to apply your blusher is by smiling and putting it onto the apple of your cheeks and blending it upwards towards the top of your ears", says Lisa. "Less is more, and as long as you make sure the majority of the colour is on the apples you can't go wrong."

As well as shades, there are plenty of textures and formulas to choose form. "Powder is a great buildable blush, and you can get a variety of finishes from matte to shimmer. This texture also tends to have the biggest selection of shades."

"Cream blusher is great for a dewy finish and works really well with liquid foundation", says Lisa. "Lastly, liquid blusher is ideal for a natural flush of colour. Just apply to a blusher brush and buff into the skin."

Lisa's faves: Cheekleaders Palette (available in Bronze Squad and Pink Squad), £52, Benefit Cloud Paint, £15, Glossier, Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks, £22, Bobbi Brown, Blush, £4.50, e.l.f cosmetics.

STEP 7: Highlight

Highlighting (when done correctly) is super effective. It can add structure and luminosity to your face instantly.
