Golden Hour Skin is the makeup trend of the moment. The hi-glow look is all about creating soft-glam with a sun-kissed, golden, dewy skin finish – perfect for those summer nights out.The beauty trend which has taken Tik-Tok and Instagram by storm, focuses on creating the illusion of a sun-soaked, gleaming complexion and embraces soft summer shades of gold, bronze and peach. Anything that makes us look beachy and peachy gets a big thumbs up in the office. We love a naked effect lip with the glossy look after years of flat mattes.

 

 

Up Cosmetics Ambassador and makeup artist, Katrina Camacho-O’Sullivan (@bykatrinaleigh), has put together some expert tips to recreate the look:

Speaking about the trend, Katrina said, “This look is all about fresh, glowing skin. Start with great skincare and lightly build on that with products that will enhance your complexion.”

  1. Focus on your skin – start with hydrated skin and your favourite base products.
  2. Stick to a neutral-warm bronzer and avoid using cool tones. Sculpt by Up Cosmetics is ideal for this.
  3. Use warm cream blush in a peach tone to compliment the bronze look.
  4. Use a gold toned highlighter like UP Golden Hour and apply to the highpoints of your face – cheek bones, forehead above the brows and the bridge of your nose between your eyes – to perfectly catch the light at every angle.
  5. Add a glossy lip with gold reflecting particles – I love to use UP Como Lip Gloss.
  6. Amp up your golden hour look with a warm red lipstick for a vampy evening look.
