Sydney Flawless Collection - Creative Studio Event
We were very excited to recently host a Creative Studio event at our Sydney head office with one of our favourite make-up artists Anya Spicer, beauty expert Gemma Watts and a group of beauty and lifestyle influencers. The workshop style event included a make-up tutorial with Anya and Gemma creating a natural long-wearing make-up look featuring our Flawless Collection. Anya demonstrated the recommended application process utilising the key products in our Flawless Collection; leading with our Airbrush Mineral Primer, Flawless Liquid Foundation, Buffing Brush and Flawless Concealer. Our Flawless Liquid Foundation and Flawless Concealer were launched in August 2017. If you’re looking to create a smooth, natural shine-free, satin matte finish the Flawless Liquid Foundation is a great product for you to consider using. It’s suitable for all skin types, and is ideal for people with normal to oily skin. The Flawless Liquid Foundation formula is oil free and fragrance-free, plus is buildable from a medium to full coverage. Key ingredients are Bamboo Powder, Kakadu Plum and Baobab Fruit Extract. As we all know, concealer is a product we should never leave home without! The Flawless Concealer is perfect for camouflaging dark circles, blemishes and covering skin imperfections. It’s long wearing and comes in a stick format so is super easy to apply. Like all Nude by Nature products, the Flawless Liquid Foundation and Flawless Concealer are formulated with 100% naturally derived, good for you ingredients and are cruelty-free. When it comes to applying the Flawless Liquid Foundation we recommend starting with the Airbrush Mineral Primer underneath the foundation as it creates a smooth, even base for your make-up application. Then apply a small amount of the Flawless Liquid Foundation (approx. a single pump), to the back of your hand. Apply and blend the foundation with a Buffing Brush, using quick circular motions to ensure an even application. Coverage can be built from medium to full as required. Apply the Flawless Concealer after the foundation to disguise any skin imperfections and dark circles. You can select to apply the concealer directly to the skin, use your fingertips or a Concealer Brush. All products are available to be purchased via our website. Click here to discover more.

The Top 5 Benefits of Make-up Concealer
The ever trusty, multi-purpose concealer. Oh, how we love thee. Whether it’s the everyday make-up bag or travel kit, concealer is a beauty essential that we have with us 24/7. It’s told that the first concealers were used in the 1920’s as make-up to camouflage burns, birthmarks and varicose veins. Following this concealers were also created for famous Hollywood actresses keen to look their very best on-screen and similarly, they were after a product that could hide skin imperfections, fine lines and to brighten their skin. These days depending on what you are trying to achieve, concealers are found in a few different forms - liquid, stick, crayon, cream or cream-to-powder. For example our Flawless Concealer is a stick concealer providing a creamy full coverage with a satin matte finish, and it’s perfect for camouflaging dark circles, pigmentation and imperfections. The top 5 key benefits for using make-up concealer are considered as being: Works with foundation to provide additional coverage to achieve the appearance of a smooth, even skin tone Refreshes tired looking eyes To disguise puffiness, blemishes, scars and imperfections Camouflage pigmentation and dark circles Lighten dark areas A few lesser known and further great ways concealer is used include: As a highlighter over cheekbones, brow, chin and nose bridge To prevent lipstick from bleeding; either by priming the lips with concealer, or by adding a little concealer above the lip line As a base before applying eyeshadow Hide tattoos and birthmarks When it comes to applying make-up concealer there are different thoughts around whether concealer should be applied before or after foundation. Our suggestion is: If you are using a liquid foundation, use concealer following application of your foundation. If instead you’re using a powder foundation, apply your concealer first. At Nude by Nature we have two make-up concealers; Liquid Mineral Concealer and Flawless Concealer plus the Concealer Brush. The Liquid Mineral Concealer is a fragrance-free creamy liquid concealer enriched with FloraEsters which helps reduce fine lines and dryness plus Vitamin E, Jojoba and Shea Butter. This good for you concealer blends seamlessly into the skin to instantly cover dark circles and imperfections plus highlights to refresh tired looking eyes. It’s available in three shades (light, medium, dark) and the recommended tip for application is to use fingertips or the Concealer Brush to apply the Liquid Mineral Concealer onto the skin. The Flawless Concealer was launched in August 2017, in conjunction with the Flawless Liquid Foundation. This long wearing easy-to-use stick concealer expertly camouflages imperfections, pigmentation and dark circles however feels like a second skin due to pigments that act in seamless affinity with the complexion. The concealer is suitable for sensitive skin, and is available in 8 shades. Formulated with 100% naturally derived ingredients including Bamboo Powder for a soft focus effect and the antioxidant rich Kakadu Plum to benefit the skin. Our application recommendation is to apply the Flawless Concealer directly to the skin and to blend with fingertips or the Concealer Brush. If you’re after the perfect concealer application tool, our Concealer Brush provides precision smooth application and blending for all concealer formulas. Like all our make-up brushes, the Concealer Brush is ergonomically designed for the best control and as we are proudly cruelty-free it’s made of ultra-soft high-quality synthetic fibres.
