Queen B’s makeup artist spills the secret to flawless foundation

Whether she’s taking over our TV screens or showing off her fashionable side on the red carpet, we can always trust Bonang Matheba’s makeup to look flawless. Here, her makeup artist Muzi Zuma spills the details on achieving that perfect look – a solid foundation.

1 Prep and prime

It doesn’t matter if you love the ease of a BB or CC cream, or you prefer more coverage with a full-on foundation, the first step to a flawless makeup look is ensuring your skin itself is cared for. Make sure you cleanse, tone and moisturise daily, and apply a primer before your foundation.

2 Focus on the hotspots

No need for concealer? Lucky girl – you can skip this step! For the rest of us mere mortals, only apply concealer to areas of concern, such as dark marks or under-eye circles. For a highlighted look, apply a concealer that’s one shade lighter to your brow bones, cheekbones and the tips of your nose and chin.

3 Easy on the powder

The new trend in beauty is for dewy, radiant skin so skip the all-over powder and focus only on areas that are susceptible to shine, such as your forehead and nose.

Now you’re ready to turn your flawless canvas into any makeup look you desire!
