It might only be the first week of the New Year, but 2019’s must-try beauty inclination is already taking over Instagram. The trend ‘Yoga Skin’ is not the skin you gain by doing a few asanas and it’s certainly not a clammy looking makeup. This year is all about making your skin glow from within and that’s exactly what ‘Yoga Skin’ is all about.
The method, which was shaped and devised by makeup artist Sara Hill, will not only give you the bright skin of your life, but it’s so stress-free, you’ll be done in just a few minutes.
What Is ‘Yoga Skin’?
Yoga skin is simply a concoction of products applied to your skin to help you attain an out-of-this-world glow.
Creator Sara explains, ‘I called it ‘yoga skin’ because it emulates that really gorgeous radiance you have when you step out of the yoga studio; juicy, dewy and super-hydrated. It’s not about hiding imperfections but creating a hyper-real version of your natural skin, pinch able and just irresistible!’
How To Get Yoga Skin?
Don’t worry you don’t actually have to do yoga!
‘To get the look, start by smearing your fixed skincare as usual, and leave it for at least five minutes to relax into your skin’, says Sara.
‘Apply a coating of primer, and then it’s time to get to mixing! What I love about this look is that it’s completely ‘your take’ to your wants, likings and skin type.’
- Make your ‘skin mix’. Use a ratio of 60-70 per cent foundation, 15 per cent facial oil, 10 per cent liquid illuminator, 5 per cent glow drops. If you have dry skin you can also squeeze in a small amount of moisturiser for added hydration. If you have oily skin you can use less of the skincare mix and have a higher percentage of foundation in the mix.
- Rub the mix into your skin using your hands, in coats. Push the mix into the skin to really work it in and to get the blood impelling, creating a normal flush. Let each coat settle for a minute, and build up until you’re pleased with the complete upshot.
- Put on liquid or cream concealer where you feel you need further coverage, using a cottony eye shadow brush for a lighter, more regular effect.
- You can powder if you need to, but keep it very nominal. This look is about new, dewy skin so only use dust where totally necessary.
