One of my favourite makeup looks…looking like the best version of you with just subtle enhancements through the power of makeup. The natural beauty had her makeup done by Dior’s Daniel Martin. She went for gorgeous, glowing skin, with a sheer coverage to allow her freckles to show through with a subtle touch of blush giving a pink-pinched cheek effect. Her foundation is likely to be Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation It’s a light, build able cov ..read more
