Subtle Makeup Quotes

That's the mistake women make - you shouldn't see your makeup. We don't want to look like we've made an effort.

I love being brown, so I love using Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder. I use it everywhere: my forehead, my cheekbones, a little bit by my chin. It gives me a golden balance that I really like. I also use the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector for my highlighter right underneath my eye. It's a pretty color - it's not too much and not too little.

Blake Lively is my style icon, and she always has rocking clothes and shoes. She keeps it really simple with hair and makeup, and I try to do the same thing.

I'm not a make-up person, I always take a less-is-more approach to my routine. Less is more: "no makeup" makeup.

The best beauty trick I've learned is "less is best."

I think Kareena Kapoor is gorgeous. She is effortless. I have never seen her go overboard with her make-up or the way she dresses. Even off-screen or when travelling, she looks gorgeous.
