Oh Jess Chastain, just look at you.
I mean honestly, that cobalt blue hue seems as though it were made for you. You make the girls that have paid to look as though they’ve been bathing themselves in the St. Tropez sun look like red carpet amateurs. It makes me want to throw my self-tans in the bin and never look back (but you know I just couldn’t bear to go through with it.)
Yes I might – and so might you if it means being this ravishingly radiant! So if you happen to be a fairer lady who feels as though tanning is the only way to go, you need to take note of a few lessons that will help you to embrace your natural skin tone and turn ‘lily white’ into ‘lily-luscious.’
TIP TO LOOK ‘LILY-LUSCIOUS’ #1: Make friends with colour
Just look at that cobalt blue hue. It is divine. More divine than a high tea party even. Simply stunning. Her fair skin acts as a backdrop for the bright blue colour, and it frames her body splendidly, don’t you think? If you don’t want to wear a bold hue on your body, stick to a bright eyeshade or nail colour instead. We love Australis Intensifeye Eyeshadows in Out of the Blue and Nicole by OPI Sky’s the Limit.
TIP TO LOOK ‘LILY-LUSCIOUS’ #2: Rock a striking hair shade
Lucky for Jess, rich block hair hues are in like Flynn this season. Instead of jumping on the balayage bandwagon or adding highlights to the mix, why not try opting for a rich, shiny version of your current hair colour? If you’re already happy with your current colour and simply want to liven it up a little, why not use your own gloss treatment at home? We love John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze® Clear Shine for it’s ability to boost shine without affecting your hair colour.
TIP TO LOOK ‘LILY-LUSCIOUS’ #3: Keep up the SPF
Obviously fair-skinned folk understand the importance of sun protection, but those who are ditching the faux glow and embracing their natural skin colour need to ensure they stay protected. To avoid unsightly sunburn and the risk of premature ageing, ensure you incorporate SPF 30+ protection into your make-up routine. We love Dr LeWinn’s Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF 30+ as it filters out 96 per cent of UV rays and features skin-softening shea butter.
