In the fourth instalment of the series, M•A•C's Director of Makeup Artistry, Dominic Skinner, shares his secrets for the perfect summer skin.

According to Dom, the key to the perfect complexion is to incorporate lots of little layers to create a buildable flawless finish, as well as opting for specialised products designed to work well with makeup, such as the M•A•C Hyper Real skincare range.

Focusing on foundation, Dom recommends going in with a light layer of medium to full coverage foundation. Whilst this may seem unconventional, Dom reveals that a lighter application of fuller coverage base makeup is actually more effective for achieving an even complexion. It’s a gamechanger that will leave you with an effortlessly flawless finish, while using just a small amount of product.

Dom’s final hack for perfect skin involves us understanding our faces consist of different skin tones. One of the biggest secrets that makeup artists never tell anyone, is that creating a flawless base involves incorporating different shades of concealer into your makeup routine. The shade of your under eyes is very different to that of your cheeks, forehead or mouth area, which is key when considering a natural complexion.
