Hydration, Hydration, Hydration
For make-up to last, it needs a good base. In Nina's case, she goes for lightweight, hydrating products for a radiant complexion. Start with a few layers of your favourite milky toner, followed by a hydrating serum and moisturiser.

Your Skin, But Better (And Softly Sculpted)
Less is more when it comes to a Nina Park base, but never zero—the trick is strategic application. Mix a small amount of lightweight foundation with an illuminator for that soft-focus complexion from the centre of the face outwards. Conceal and powder where necessary. Lightly sculpt with a cool-toned contour along the forehead and apply a cream pink-berry blush (Nina has been spotted using one from CLIO on Addison and Mia)

A Soft Flick
Nina's eye looks vary from watercolour hues to neutrals, but one thing they all have in common is a soft wing and subtle tightlining. Start by lining the outer waterline with a black eye pencil. For the inner corner and tear duct, switch to a dark brown liner. Create a small wing with the same black pencil or with a liquid liner and finish it off with a coat of mascara.

The Nina Park Lip
Everyone wants the exact recipe for the iconic Nina Park lip—a soft, plush pout—and the exact combination of lip liners, rouges, and glosses to achieve it. Start with a light touch of cream bronzer blended around the perimeter of the lips with a soft blender brush for volume. With a warm brown lip liner, line the lips and diffuse with your finger, focusing on the cupid's bow and centre of the lower lip. Switch to a cool-tone brown lip pencil and line the outer edges for definition. Dab a soft berry or nude pink that's closest to your natural shade onto the lips to finish it off.
