Candice Swanepoel Makeup

Model Candice Swanepoel has always championed a luminous, sunkissed makeup look. The former Victoria’s Secret model and swimwear designer is known for her less-is-more approach in all facets of life, but her latest makeup tutorial (sharded to Instagram) is a masterclass in effortless glow.

Consisting of only six steps and four products, Swanepoel called it her “basic everyday makeup,” before adding, “actually that’s a lie, basic some days when I feel like it makeup.” Either way, we’re taking notes.

Instead of all-over foundation, the model started with Nars concealer (we’re guessing the Soft Matte Complete Concealer), buffing it into any areas requiring coverage (even some hormonal acne spots on her chin, because models – they’re just like us). She then uses Benefit Brow Gel (her tube looks like an older iteration of the Gimme Brow+ Brow Gel) before using the Armani Beauty Neo Nude A Contour underneath her cheek bones, forehead, nose and underside of her jaw. On cheeks and lips, she goes in with a Charlotte Tilbury lipstick – while she hasn’t confirmed the shade, it looks like it’s from either the Pillowtalk Diamonds Collection or Superstar Lips collection.

To finish, she adds more Armani Contour to the eyelids, curls her lashes (note the no mascara), and adds just a few curls to her already-wavy hair. Luminous, sculpted, but supernatural, it’s a routine we 1000% plan on copying.
