Yoga skin is the summer’s hottest beauty trend, and it couldn’t be easier to achieve

Rebecca O'Keeffe

We are loving this trend.

A new season means new and exciting things.

From fashion to beauty, we have no doubt summer 2019 is going to be full of glorious things to obsess over.

In fact, we have already discovered our first trend of this new year – yoga skin.

The trend was created by makeup artist Sara Hill, and will allow you to get the most glowy skin of your life.

But, with little effort!

Speaking about her look, Sara said:

“Yoga skin is a look that feels real. ‘Glass skin’ and similar trends are about creating a perfected, flawless complexion, but yoga skin is about creating luscious, fresh and juicy skin that looks natural, but glowing with health.”

“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!”

So, how does one achieve yoga skin?

The Yogaskin Technique I created to make the skin look lit ?from within. Healthy, glowing, hydrated, radiant, sheer and natural. Skin that looks like skin at its very best. ✴︎Step One – Cleanse and prep your skin as normal. Let your skincare absorb fully before adding the next step. ✴︎Step Two – Apply a small amount of primer (silicone free). ✴︎Step Three – 3-4 Pumps of your favourite foundation liquid. Preferably Sheer/Medium (water based). No full cover. ✴︎Step Four – One drop of your favourite skincare facial oil ✴︎Step Five – One drop of strobe cream or Liquid highlighter. Golden tones work best. ✴︎Step Six – For super shine One small drop of Glow drops (this step is optional ) ✴︎Step Seven – Massage into your skin using your hands; this does many things. It gets the circulation flowing, relaxes you, de-puffs, and makes the base sit better too. Build up in layers on top until you are happy with the coverage created. I would recommend allowing time between layers. ✴︎Step Eight – Add a small amount of liquid concealer only in the areas you wish more coverage like under eyes, spots or around the nose. Please do not overdo this step ✌?. You can lightly powder to set concealer. Add cream blush and cream bronzer if you wish. And you can set your face overall with powder too, use a small fluffy brush to do this or puff and keep the powder to a minimum and sheer. No baking please ? . If you wish to use setting spray make sure it’s alcohol free to give further hydration. I used.. @chanel.beauty – foundation @kiehlsuki -Facial oil @kevynaucoin -Highlighter liquid @revolutionpro – Glow drops @chanel.beauty – Cream bronzer @glossier – Cream blush Recommend powder – @maccosmeticsuk Blot powder. Recommend set spray @pixibeauty. If this all seems to complex don’t panic! just add a little facial oil into your base keep everything looking sheer as possible. If you have very oily skin and don’t like to look shiny this might not be the look for you.

“To get the look, start by applying your regular skincare as normal, and leave it for at least five minutes to settle into your skin”, says Sara.

“Apply a layer of primer, and then it’s time to get to mixing! What I love about this look is that it’s completely customisable to your needs, preferences and skin type.”

Sara mixed foundation with a drop of facial oil, a drop of liquid illuminator and a small bit of glow drops.

Then all you do is massage it onto the face.

Stunning.
