From sun-kissed shimmer to covetable coral and a hit of golden gloss, three pro make-up artists reveal how to wear SS23’s hottest trends, using Urban Decay, Lancôme, and YSL Beauty icons

Of course, the most coveted trends demand stellar-quality make-up, which is why we’re excited to be working with YSL Beauty, Lancôme, and Urban Decay to create three different but equally glowy looks from base to brows. Here’s how to perfect them with expert precision…
A sun-kissed complexion forms the basis of this look, so the correct prep is crucial. “It’s really about enhancing natural beauty, [rather than being] too contoured or powdered; it’s a very healthy, glowy, creamy look,” says Hammer, who used Urban Decay products on our Cali-cool girl, Lily.
“[I applied] lots of moisturiser with SPF beforehand; added an oil for that lit-from-within glow; then topped it off with a tinted moisturiser and a wash of bronze on the cheeks, eyes and under the jaw area. This needs to look three dimensional and very light handed, so [it’s fairly] effortless,” adds Hammer.
Coral is a bold shade, so, to balance the look, Martin brushed up brows and kept eyes polished, using the Hypnôse Palette in Fraicheur Rosee for an understated wash of colour. “I took the taupe tone and swept it through the crease of the eyes and along the lashlines – not to shade, but to enhance the shape. This is a much less ‘done’ vibe, so I simply curled the lashes to avoid weighing them down. Alternatively, you can use Hypnôse Mascara in the roots to add definition and create a more feline effect,” she says.
Martin finished with a dramatic lip, dabbing the mouth with a few layers of L’Absolu Rouge Drama Matte in French Tea with her fingers and then smudging the excess pigment high up on the cheeks. “I wanted this look to be monochromatic in a pinched-pink colour, ensuring that the coral shades on the lip and cheek work in perfect harmony together. Another bonus to stippling lipstick on the cheek is that it looks like skin rather than a dulling powder. I bought the colour higher onto the temples to add [the effect of] summer warmth, too.”
“I’m just loving summer make-up right now,” says leading make-up artist Bernicia Boateng. “This season is all about rich metallics in bronze and gold, and adding shine makes them super-wearable.” Thankfully, YSL Beauty can help you achieve this flattering summer-girl glow.
For golden-hour radiance, start with a luminous base that perfectly complements your skin tone. Boateng created a fresh, dewy look using All Hours Foundation – a creamy, lightweight formula that’s also infused with hyaluronic acid to plump up your complexion. What’s more, it sets to a smudge-proof, fresh-from-the-bottle finish that delivers lit-from-within lustre.

Start with a pearl-sized amount of Urban Decay Stay Naked Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator and distribute it evenly to create the perfect glowy canvas. Add Stay Naked Quickie Concealer where needed to even out skin tone and unify the complexion. Then, taking a large brush, dust the bronze hue from Urban Decay’s Stay Naked Threesome Palette where the sun would naturally hit skin – think cheekbones, temples, forehead to the hairline, across the bridge of your nose, and a dash on the chin.
Next, go over the high points of your face with the highlighter in the palette, making sure to blend the blush over eyelids and the apples of your cheeks. Set the look by spritzing your face with All Nighter Setting Spray – a skin enhancing, long-lasting make-up finishing formula that boasts temperature control technology.
Hammer also used Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, before blending the matte bronze shade from the brand’s Naked Half Baked Eyeshadow Palette across lids, topping it off with 24/7 Moondust Glitter Eyeshadow Single in Cosmic Craze, and finishing with a single coat of Perversion Mascara. Finally, the sunshine-ready lip from our shoot was created using Uptight from the Vice Lipstick collection, which was applied under a thin layer of the Vice Plumping Lip Gloss in Secret Menu for extra shine.
For this healthy, late-summer-glow look, make-up maestro Hannah Martin added interest to a warm palette of nudes with a standout swipe of matte coral lipstick and a swirl of bright-coral blush for an apple-cheeked flush.
“I love how fresh and pared-back this look is,” says Martin. “Skin perspires a bit more [during summer], which gives it this natural glow. We’ve been led to believe that [applying] bronzer is key here, but very fair skin doesn’t tan well, so, to get a similar sun-kissed aesthetic, use SPF and utilise pink shades to create an uplifting flush instead,” advises Martin, who used Lancôme products to perfect the look on our model, Georgie.
Again, this trend is all about prepping your complexion like a pro. “You need skin loaded with moisture – personally, I prefer a skincare glow to a make-up glow, which can look a bit metallic,” Martin says. Start with Lancôme Advanced Génifique serum to saturate
the skin with moisture, then massage the face to stimulate circulation and encourage natural colour, and apply Rénergie Multi-Lift Day Cream to lock hydration in.
Next, Martin wanted to control some of the high colour – largely under the eyes and on the cheeks – so it was more about patch-correcting than applying a veil of base all over. “I used Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer to create the most flawless face that still had dimension. Then, with my fingers, I blended the Teint Idole Ultra Wear Highlighting Stick over cheek and brow bones, into the inner corners of the eyes, and across the bridge of her nose.”

Boateng also used Sahariennes Bronzing Stones to mimic the same depth and warmth of a sun-kissed flush – just one sweep instantly warmed up our model, Thara’s, complexion. Next, complement the base and lips with an eye colour that’s slightly darker than your skin tone; Boateng used Satin Crush Eyeshadow in Excessive Brown, and finished with a double coat of Lash Clash Mascara to balance the look.

Finally, to create the illusion of fuller lips, slightly over-exaggerate the upper lip line, using the velvety, long-lasting Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Velvet Radical Lipstick in Boundless Maroon – pay particular attention to the cupid’s bow area and bottom lip, before extending the colour upwards towards the outer corners of the mouth. Then, diffuse and blend with a brush, and blot to remove any excess. Once the lip is in place, add a sheer layer of translucent Rouge Volupté Candy Glaze in Cacao No Boundary.
