Your Foolproof 5-Step Guide

Step 1: Perfect your base

Apply ELES Blue Light Radiant BB Cream with your fingertips, pressing gently into the skin for a smooth, luminous finish. Its buildable coverage evens tone without looking heavy, while acting as primer, foundation, concealer and sunblock, all packed with anti-ageing actives and blue-light protection. Your fingers warm the product, making blending instant, no extra tools needed for this step!
Time: 60 seconds. 

Step 2: Add a touch of colour

Using the ELES Duo Fibre Brush, sweep ELES Mineral Baked Blush in Rose Gold across the high points of your cheeks, lightly over the bridge of your nose, and a touch across your eyelids for a soft, sun-kissed glow. This universally flattering shade combines bronze, blush, and highlight in one effortless sweep, giving your face dimension and a healthy glow with zero fuss.
Time: 60 seconds. 

Step 3: Define in 60 Seconds

Brows make a huge difference to the appearance of your face! and fuller, well-shaped brows will add immediate dimension and help to sculpt the face making you look younger and more awake!

Fill any gaps with the ELES Precision Brow Pencil. Its fine tip creates natural, hair-like strokes, while the spool brush smooths and shapes brows for a flawless, soft-focus finish.
Time: 45 seconds.

Step 4: Lift those lashes

Coat lashes generously with ELES Lush Mascara, sweeping from base to tips for maximum volume and lift. It defines lashes beautifully without clumping and nourishes them with every wear, so your lashes look fuller and healthier over time.

Use on upper lashes, and lower if desired, for definition, while nourishing ingredients help lashes grow thicker and longer over time. A few quick coats is all you need to make your eyes pop.

Time: 45 seconds. 

Step 5: The finishing touch

As we age our lips can not only lose volume but colour too so adding a little lip colour can make all the different to creating the perfect, polished, minimal makeup look! Simply dab a little ELES Colour Balm in Nude at the centre of your lips, then blend with your fingertip for a soft, muted pout. For a little more precision use a lip brush.  This final step adds hydration and a natural, pulled-together feel without having to opt for a lipstick. The result? A fresh, dewy finish that ties the whole look together.
Time: 30 seconds. 

And you’re done!
