Despina Vandi shares summer makeup and beauty routine
Despina Vandi has shared her specific summer makeup routine designed to achieve a bright, sunkissed look that complements tanned skin. Rather than using heavy foundation, the technique focuses on building dimension through strategic product placement.
The process involves four primary steps:
1. Dual-tone concealer: Using a lighter shade to brighten the inner corners of the eyes and a darker, honey-toned shade on the nose, chin, and forehead to match the tan. 2. Bronzer: Applying a stick bronzer under the cheekbones, on the chin, and the nose to create natural contouring. 3. Blush: Using a 'sexy rose' shade on the cheeks and lightly across the eyelids. 4. Blending: Using a brush to ensure a seamless, hydrated, and luminous finish.
This method is intended to maintain skin freshness and can be adapted for the transition into autumn by adjusting the shades to match changing skin tones.
