In short: Four steps, a few multi-use products and your fingertips. Glow Skin Tint for fresh skin, a dab of lip colour on your cheeks, Luminous Eye Crayons and Lash Nourish Mascara for your eyes, then Lip Nourish or a Lipstick Crayon to finish. Two minutes for a healthy, natural glow.
You don't want to spend half an hour on your makeup. You want a few go-to products you can trust, that give you a natural, healthy look and leave you looking ( & feeling !) alive and nourished. Like you, only better.
That's the Nourish Ritual. Our products enhance your natural features with a little wearable colour that never feels like too much: just enough to greet the day, make you smile and feel happy walking out the door. And because every product is multisensory, with wearable shades, creamy textures and delicious aromas, it becomes a small moment for yourself, whether it's your morning ritual or a quick touch-up during the day. It takes two minutes, not twenty, and leaves you looking like you, only fresher and more radiant.
Step 1: Skin, with Glow Skin Tint
Smooth Glow Skin Tint on with your fingertips.
Smooth Glow Skin Tint over your skin with clean fingertips, just like your moisturiser. Start at the centre of your face and blend outwards. It's super sheer and lightweight, so it evens the look of your skin and gives a luminous, lit-from-within glow while your real skin still shows through. Your skin, but better.
Made with nourishing plant oils from olive, jojoba and macadamia, plus Kakadu plum, rosehip and pomegranate. Six shades. Not sure which is yours? Take our Skin Tint Shade Quiz.
Got sun spots, age spots, blemishes or a little darkness under the eyes? Dab on a concealer if you like. It's not an essential, but it's handy when you have a special event on or want to step things up.
Step 2: Cheeks, with your lip colour
Dot a Lipstick Crayon on your cheeks, then blend for a healthy flush.
Here's the little secret that saves a step: your lip colour is your blush. Dab a touch of Lip Nourish or a Lipstick Crayon onto the apples of your cheeks, then tap and blend with your fingertips for a healthy flush.
- For a fresh flush: Rosé, Cherry Plum or Cranberry Citrus Lip Nourish
- For something understated: a soft nude such as Nude Sugar or Rose Lime
- For a little more colour: a Lipstick Crayon, dotted on and blended out well
Using the same shade on lips and cheeks gives a soft, put-together look without trying.
Step 3: Eyes, with Luminous Eye Crayons and Lash Nourish Mascara
Our eight Luminous Eye Crayon shades are creamy, soft shimmery eye colour that blends with a fingertip. Each shade has its own job, so choose one, two or three:
- Line + define: draw Cocoa, Truffle, Olive or Smoke along your upper lash line and smudge softly.
- Shade: sweep Mushroom or Sorbet across your lid and blend with your fingertip for a soft wash of colour.
- Highlight: dot Pearl or Champagne in the inner corner or just under the brow to catch the light.
Finish with a coat or two of Lash Nourish Mascara to define, lift and condition your lashes. Choose Black Tea or Espresso for a softer brown.

Step 4: Lips, with Lip Nourish and Lipstick Crayons
One swipe of Lip Nourish for sheer, nourished colour.
- For a sheer wash: one swipe of Lip Nourish. Sheer, buildable colour with a dewy satin finish, made with avocado oil and cocoa butter so lips feel soft and cared for every time you wear it. No mirror needed.
- For fuller colour: a Lipstick Crayon is lipstick and liner in one. Line, fill, then soften with a fingertip.
- To make it yours: layer the two. Apply a Lipstick Crayon first, then swipe Lip Nourish on top for depth and a dewier finish.
Some of our favourite pairings: Berry Bite Lipstick Crayon with Nude Sugar Lip Nourish, or Lychee Sorbet with Tea Rose or Pink Juniper. See more in Perfect Pairings, or take our Lipstick Shade Quiz.
Tips and tricks
- Pearl is a highlighter too. Dab the Pearl Eye Crayon on your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose and your cupid's bow, then blend.
- Champagne is a soft gold highlighter, lovely in the centre of the lid over a deeper shade.
- Nude Lipstick Crayons can softly shade and contour the cheeks and jaw, if that's something you like to do.
- Mix and match, layer and build. A few products, endless ways to make them yours.
Start where you are
You don't need every step, every day. Each product works beautifully on its own, so start with the one that matters most to you (for many of us, that's a swipe of Lip Nourish) and add the rest when it feels right.
Every product is made with nutrient active foods and botanicals and is 99–100% natural origin.
FAQs
Do I need brushes?
No. Every step is designed for your fingertips. If you love tools, a small smudging brush works nicely with the Eye Crayons, but it's never required.
Can I wear Glow Skin Tint with sunscreen?
Yes. Glow Skin Tint doesn't contain SPF, so apply your usual sunscreen first and let it absorb. Avoid silicone-based products underneath, as the tint can pill over them.
Will the Eye Crayons last all day?
They're creamy rather than long-wear, so they may soften into the lid crease through the day. A quick fingertip blend refreshes them. See How to Keep Cream Eye Colour in Place.
Can I use lip colour on my cheeks every day?
Yes. Lip Nourish and Lipstick Crayons are made to multitask on lips and cheeks.
