TRENDING // SPRING ‘24
ETHEREAL DIMENSION
CHEEKS THAT ARE DREAMY, BUT NOT DEWY
This spring we’ve been putting new techniques for trending, fresh-looking skin to the test. This season is all about soft structure with an unexpected pop of hi-viz color and a velvety, pore-blurring finish. The core of the look is ethereal without being dewy. Try it out and follow our Artistry Studio tips to bronze high points of the face, sculpt feature-defining shadows + blend two blush tones.
SOUR APPLE SCULPT
Cast realistic-looking shadows + simulate sun-kissed skin with a twist on your bronzing + sculpting technique.
You’ll need Good Apple Bronze + Sculpt Balm Duo, Flashblend Face Brush and a sour apple candy.
1 // SUCK IN YOUR CHEEKS
Have a sour snack or just pretend you took a bite of something tart. Reveal your bone structure.
• Find your facial hollows [where you will apply the sculpt balm] by sucking in your cheeks like you’re eating something ultra-sour.
• Find your starting point for sculpting: Next to your ear, right beneath your cheekbone.
2 // SCULPT SHADOWS
Accentuate your bone structure by creating “shadows” beneath your cheek bones.
• Using the angle of your cheekbone as a guideline, swipe the cool-toned sculpting balm from your ear to just below the apple of your cheek.
• Use a sponge and a tapping motion to soften the edges of your contour + blend it into your
foundation.
3 // BRONZE THE HIGH POINTS
Add life back to your complexion with biting warmth.
• After sculpting the hollows of your face, find your facial high points. These are the spots that catch the most sun—the cheekbones, bridge of your nose, temples/forehead + the center of your chin.
• Load your sponge or brush with the warm-toned bronze balm in the compact. Tap against the inside of the compact lid to diffuse the color before putting it on your skin.
• Concentrate the balm on your facial high points using a tapping or stippling motion.
• Blend out the edges—but be careful not to blend too far into where you’ve sculpted.
APPLE AURA BLUSH
Ethereal, velvety + pore-blurring blush with vibrant color at its core.
Get started by grabbing your kit-essential Good Apple Blush Balm Duo and a sponge or flat brush.
1 // BLUSH PLACEMENT FOR YOUR FACE SHAPE
• Heart // Focus blush on the apples of your cheeks to accentuate the center third of your face
• Oval // Apply blush in a boomerang shape to frame the eyes + add width to the face
• Square // Lay down blush in a curved shape to round out your features
• Round // Place blush along the underside of your cheekbones to sculpt with color
2 // THE BASE LAYER
Set the tone for your blush look with a soft wash of neutral color.
• Load your brush or sponge with the neutral shade in your blush compact.
• Tap the blush on the inside lid of the compact to diffuse the color before applying on your cheeks.
• For brush application: Use short, light strokes to lay down your base layer.
• For sponge application: Bounce over your cheeks to create your base.
• Soften the transition between your foundation + blush by blending the edges.
3 // THE POP
Focus hi-viz color at the center of your blush look.
• Pick up the vibrant shade in your blush compact with a brush or sponge.
Tip: Use a light hand—a little goes a long way.
• Tap the pop shade at the center of the area where you applied the neutral base layer.
• Blend the outer edges of the pop shade so that it melds into the neutral shade.
