Next, Lisa applies the much loved Bobbi Brown's Skin Enhancer Multi Stick Blush in the shade sunset for a natural radiance and glow. She then uses the tiniest amount of foundation with Estee Lauder's Double Wear Foundation before gently tapping NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in the shade vanilla onto the inner and outer corners of the eyes.

Light Layers

Layering bronzer is Lisa's secret to achieving a sun-kissed summer glow. She turns to M.A.C's Skinfinish Sunstruck Bronzer Matte in the shade medium golden, applying it beneath the cheekbones with a brush before blending it upwards towards the temples. This lifting technique adds warmth and definition to the complexion.

Soft Smokey Eye

To bring the look together, Lisa dusts a small amount of the same bronzer across the eyelids using a fluffy eyeshadow brush. She completes the eyes with Victoria Beckham Beauty's Satin Kajal liner in the shade terracotta gently tapering it into the socket, she adds one more layer to create the easiest and quickest smokey eye look.
