It’s our favourite time here at MYKITCO… In The Spotlight! Since our last issue looking at runway skin, we’ve been catching up with celebrity makeup artist and MYKITCO co-founder James Molloy finding out the hottest trends of the season and how you can keep your looks current with his expertly crafted MYKITCO tools!
Spring has sprung, the sun is out, and blush is the newest trend dominating social media, runways and red carpets. The fundamentals for beautiful blush is tone, texture and placement. Selecting the right tone is key to creating a fresher base, for cooler under tones think pink, while peachy corals work best on warm olive skin. Blush should look like it’s radiating from within, rather than sitting unnaturally on the surface, build slowly with sheer layers to keep your base texturally perfect! Placement can be make or break, think about face shape for ultimate application. For a rounder face apply in a big soft ‘C’, starting on your cheekbones and sweep up to the temples, if an oval face shape focus on the apples of the cheeks to bring the attention to the centre of the face.
To master blush application, having the correct tools is essential! Let’s delve into the MYKITCO brushes James’ uses to create that youthful flushed skin we’re seeing everywhere!
