Women often wonder whether to try matt make-up or glossy one. An expert says try glossy to make your face glow, but avoid it during summer or humid weather.
'Make-up that's matt will not have a wet shine or glow to it as the foundation has been settled with powder. When you are wearing matt make-up, a glow can be brought about by adding a powder blush or shimmer,' says make-up artist Renuka Pillai.
'Shine make-up or what I would rather call 'glossy', gives a more dewy effect as the foundation used is generally a liquid or a tinted moisturiser with minimal powdering. It gives a rather nice glow to the face,' she added.
She suggests to highlight cheekbones, add a bronzer or creamy highlighter.
Glossy make-up gives the glow that we thrive for, but Pillai says to check the season too.
'During summer season, try and keep it matt. Sometimes, glossy can get a little oily looking if there is humidity,' she explains. (Read: Make-up tips for the fresh-faced look)
