If you only wear makeup to gently accentuate your features, then make your way to the Kose counters.

Subtlety is the name of the game there.

The lightweight base makeup range provides light to medium coverage, is mattifying, and relatively long-lasting. Perfect for those who do not like any shine; just that velvety matte finish of baby skin.

The Kose Esprique Pure Skin Pact UV is a fine powder compact with SPF26/PA+; while the  CC Base hides pores and offers SPF50+ PA+++ protection.

Cover up spots and dark circles with the creamy Fit Up Concealer UV that comes in a convenient twist stick; high coverage, long-lasting, with SPF30/PA+++.

The brand also offers two options for fuller-brows that will make you look younger.

If you want precise strokes, try the Kose Esprique W Eyebrow Liquid & Powder. The handy pen offers a stiff brush liquid liner on one end, and a spoolie brush on the other. Pull on the opposite ends, and out pops a sponge applicator with powder tucked in the cap.

Prefer brows that look more natural? Go for the W Eyebrow Pencil & Powder. Instead of a brush, it comes with a pencil liner.

How to use: First brush hairs into place with spoolie; fill areas you want to define with gentle strokes of the brush/ pencil [such as the ends, top and bottom edges of the brow] in direction of surrounding hairs; and tap powder tip onto sparse areas [inner corners of the brow].

Finish with the subtle Select Eye Colour eyeshadows which are translucent, and subtly sparkly. These powders also contain skincare ingredients (a rarity in eyeshadows!) such as hyaluronic acid, amino acid derivatives, as well as lipids to care for the delicate eyelids.
