Ethereal Beauty

Heavenly, feminine, gorgeous and radiant: this is the essence of ethereal beauty - and it's always in fashion.

Ethereal beauty is akin to the glow of pregnancy minus the baby (or perhaps with the baby), but you get the gist. 

The inspiration for today's blog is the heroine from my new favourite show, Game of Thrones, which went to air just three weeks ago in the US and has not yet reached Australian TV. It's full of sex, violence and intrigue - completely addictive.

Perfected skin, a soft wash of colour to the lips and cheeks, and bright eyes contribute to this angelic look, but the real key is luminosity and that means hightlight Highlight HIGHLIGHT!

You want a candlelit glow, not a disco-ball face, so choose products that are pearlised rather than sparkly.

Try NARS hightlight powder in Albatross on the tops of the cheekbones, browbone, bridge of the nose and cupids bow. US$27 from kissandmakeupny or AU$55 from Mecca online and in store.

This powder imparts a gorgeous, golden-pearl radiance to the skin, especially in natural light.

A a soft flush of pink completes the look. Try Becca's lip and cheek creme in whatever colour suits you. I like Tuberose and Rosebud. AU$46 from Becca online or at selected boutiques.
