New work- Natural make up using My Mix Foundation
I wanted to share a little natural make up with you. I recently worked on some shots of Barbora a gorgeous new face at Premier model management. I love creating natural looks- perfecting brows, creating flawless skin with a glow and giving the cheeks a flash of glowing color.
I prepped the skin with Liz Earle’s Cleanse and Polish Hot polish cleanser, skin repair moisturizer.
For a totally flawless skin I used Myface’s My Mix foundation, this is a great foundation for close up skin in photo shoots as it is light weight the finish is exceptionally natural (although the coverage i s too light for problem skin, you will need to team with the matching concealer).
I groomed barbora’s eye brows using Shavata brow products.
For the lips and cheeks I patted on a little Becca Beach Tint Lip and Cheek stain and finished the lips with a little lip balm.
I finished by carefully applying a coat of Bobbi Brown’s No Smudge Mascara.
I also smouldered the look up later with heavy eye liner and some rocky body art.
New pic and how to create the look.
I have had a couple of AMAZING shoots lately with Joseph Sinclair and Oscar Alexander Lundberg. I love the shots we worked on with Maria E from M and P modeling agency.
I thought this look was a little vampy fantastic for this time of year.
To create this look I used the following products;
Liz Earle Super Skin Eye and Lip Treatment
Mac Matte
Laura Mercier Satine Creme Colour in Amber velvet
RMK Ingenious Powder Eyes in ME-03 Sparkly Gold
RMK Ingenious Jelly Eyes in JE-07
Mac False lashes in style 33 You will need 2 pairs for the top and bottom
Eyes
I began by prepping the eyes and lips with Liz Earle Super Skin Eye and Lip Treatment and then began creating the eyes. I always begin with the eyes on a smoky look, this way after I have finished the eyes I can wipe away any powder drop before applying my base.
I painted a strong cat shape with the Laura Mercier Satin Creme Colour using an eyeshadow brush. Blend well, don’t be afraid to use clean finger tips to pat and smudge in creams, it works brilliantly.
I then highlighted the whole lid with the RMK ingenious Jelly shadow and then created a ”hotspot” to dramatise the metalic shine in the centre of the lid with the shiny gold RMK Ingenious powder Eyeshadow. I can’t express enough how much I love these 2 RMK colours…
I then HEAVILY lined the upper and lower water lines in MAC’s Smoulder Eye Kohl, smudging slightly into the lash line.
After a layer of Mascara apply the MAC false lashes (style 33) on the top AND bottom lash line. This is what creates the vampy/edgyness to the look.
Base
Now the eyes are finished wipe away any powder drop so you have a completely clean base.
I applied the MAC Matte instead of a moisturiser, this works really well on photo shoots as it means you should not get shine breaking through and will not need to apply powder which leads to a duller finish.
Now apply the Match Master foundation I actually used to shades 1 as an all over tone and a shade lighter under the eyes and along the tops of the cheek bones- this was done to add contour to the cheeks for photographic purposes.
I applied foundation over the lips and brows, this gives an edgy, fashion finish to the look.
Finish by contouring the hollows of the cheeks lightly with the Guerlain bronzer.

Make up tips for beautiful bridal make up
Its that time of year again!
I love bridal season, I have been really busy over the last few weeks with bridal make up trials and wanted to pass on some tips to you ladies who are doing your own make up for your big day.
Here are my top 10 tips for perfect bridal make up
.1. It’s all in the eyes.
If you are like me your regular mascara may be your saviour! But for this one day I say ditch it! I’m not asking you to go out on your wedding day with naked lashes!!!! I Often apply individual lashes to my brides and blend them with the natural lashes with a little waterproof mascara. This is a really glamorous alternative, adding enhancing length, thickness without any unnatural clogging.
Using individual lashes with a little coating of waterproof mascara is a cleaner smudge free alternative You might not be the “crying” type, but don’t take the risk, you don’t want to be a soppy mess.
2. Beauty is only skin deep….
Drink plenty, drink water like its going out of fashion! Hydrating the skin will give you a glow, it will help your skin become clear of any spots and will also plump out any dehydration lines which prematurely age the skin.
Also invest in a skin care regime which is recommended for your skin type and conditions.
3. Cheat your way to a perfect base. Many women don’t see the necessity of a make up primer, well let me tell you; the right primer for your skin can be a god send. All primers cause your make up to stay fresher and longer.
Specialised primers can also mattify or create a dewy finish, there are also silicone based primers which fill pores and fine lines!
4. Its not a great thing to try new things or make big changes just before your big day! If you are going to get a spray tan don’t do it on the eve of your wedding do it a couple of days before just so you have time to remove a patchy dodgy job!
This goes for brow grooming too, maintain your usual regimen. You could end up chola’d!
And as for vajazzling- just don’t! You inevitably will be walking down the aisle like John Wayne!
5. Keep shine at bay. For your photographs keeping the shine down on you face is imperative.
If you know you have oily skin opt for a mattifying primer over a moisturiser, follow with a mattifying foundation. Now with a small powder brush focusing on the t-zone stroke a little translucent powder over your foundation to set the makeup.
A heavily powdered face can be really dull looking so don’t be overzealous with powder instead keep oil absorbing sheets in your purse for shine touch ups.
6. If you line your eyes swap your inkwell or kohl pencil eyeliner for a long-lasting gel liner. Bobbi Brown does a cult gel liner which comes in a huge variety of colours and is totally smudge free and waterproof.
Top tip: If you always opt for black save your pennies and try out Maybeline’s Lasting Drama gel liner- They have just brought out an extremely similar product but have only brought out the 1 shade and are selling it at almost half the price!
7. Create a lip stain. Many girls usually use a lip gloss but this may not do the trick on your wedding day. Lip gloss is not very long-lasting, you will spend most of the day kissing family members you vaguely remember as well as your oldest friends and if that doesn’t remove your gloss the ”I do” moment will see your lip gloss go from your face to all over yours and your grooms faces! I find long stay lip duos cause drying and cracking and can look really shrivelled.
I often create a lip stain by outlining and filling in my brides lips with a flattering lip pencil colour, then I apply a soft lipstick and blot with a tissue. Repeat this metod. This will leave a stain on your lips and the lipstick will stay on longer.
8. Dont harden your look with penciled on brows.
Use an eyebrow powder to softly enhance the shape of brows. This is also a smudge free method.
9. highlight.
A pro trick is highlighting to sculpt the face.
Apply dewy shine to the highest point of the cheek bones. An ivory highlighter under the brows really compliments and ivory dress. Dust a subtle powder highlighter along the cupids bow of the lips.
As well as enhancing the lips this will help to stop lip colours “bleeding” around the lip line.
10. Finish the make up with a fixing spay. This freshens the make up instantly, eradicates any powdery finish and really sets the make up for a long-lasting hold.
Elemental Beauty Mineral Make Up reviewed + How to create the look
Today me and awesome photographer and good friend Dave Wise created portfolio shots for gorgeous Kristel from Confidence models.
Kristel’s stunning, large doe eyes screamed out for a sexy smoking!! I thought I’d grab this opportunity to try out some mineral make up that had been sent to me to review from Elemental Beauty!
There is an army of enlightened beauty lovers who are demanding natural make up and beauty products with out all of the unnescessairy nasties.
Elemental Beauty does not use Talc, Bismuth Oxychloride or fillers in any of their makeup.
Prep-
Keeping the whole look natural I started by prepping the skin with REN Hydra-Calm Global Protection Day, Cream and REN Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel and on the lips I applied a touch of Bloom Mineral Plus Lip Butter in like a prayer
Eyes-
Rather than go with obvious blacks and greys which I thought would look very hard and over powering against Kristel’s pale colourings I blended in muted green, brown and blue eye shadows which looked amazing next to her Hazel eyes.
I always start my make up at the eyes when doing a smoky look but with hard to control minerals it’s extremely important!
The loose powder can drop every where so start on the eyes and you can completely wipe away any mis-haps for a perfectly clean skin before applying foundation.
I began by heavily lining and smudging Chantecaille’s Black Kohl pencil into the entire water line and lash line.
Tip- I found the texture of the eye shadows extremely fine so I used a damp rigid eyeshadow brush for heavier impact, longevity and to minimise drop.
I applied Elemental Beauty Mineral eye shadow in Meteor all over the eye lid and as a heavy line on the bottom lash line; I highlighted from the middle to the inner corner of the upper eye and from the tear duct swept out on the lower lash line in Elemental Beauty’s Peacock. I then dotted a tiny bit of EB Dragon fly right in the inner corner of the eye and blended.
I found although these eye shadows are lovely colours they didn’t have amazing holding powder and worked well over a base.
I finished the eyes with several coats of Chantecaille Mascara Noir.
I wiped away all traces of drop and applied Elemental beauty mineral foundation in -English Rose
I was sceptical of how a powder, mineral foundation would photograph but this powder was super fine(!) and had no tinny effect that I have noticed before in mineral foundation.
I am not sure how it would photograph on dry skin or if she had needed more coverage. But as a natural alternative to a light daily use foundation it looked lovely.
I defined her cheeks with a warmer shade of mineral foundation in blush and I highlighted the top of the cheek bones with Elemental Beauty Illuminator in Rosy apple- This is a great highlighter! It illuminates rather than shines, I found lots of highlighters overly shiny but this is the perfect glow and is so fine its blends beautifully.
I like the simple, pretty, floral packaging.
I was amazed when I checked the prices of these products which are all around £3.99! I dont understand how make up which is created from all natural ingredients can be at such a incredible price.
Real bargain.
How to blend natural lashes into coloured false eyelashes
One for the make up artists-
This post is in response to Nikki’s question- ”..Please could you show us how to blend light coloured artistic lashes on someone with lots of dark coloured natural lashes?”
To blend coloured, creative lashes seamlessly into falsies you need to camouflage the natural lashes as much as is possible….
Here are some examples-
In the top picture I customised the lashes myself so the natural lashes proved easy to blend in. The customised false lashes had a clogged matt finish so before applying the false eyelashes I coated the natural lashes in thick, clogged, messy layers of MAC prep and prime (a white, fibre rich lash builder). This gave the same texture as the creative lashes.
Once the primer had dried I carefully painted the back and front of the lashes from root to tip with a flat brush using Kryolan red (no. 079) aqua colour. (if the colour isn’t the same mix with your other colours until you get the closest colour match possible).
A clever way of coating the lashes is to get your model to look up, slide a folded piece of kitchen paper closely under the lower lashes, make your model close her eyes, now you have a protective sheet of paper to stop paint/ mascara/ powder making a mess on the skin. You can paint the colour on by brushing the product in carefully from root to tip.)
You are now ready to apply the lashes.
Here are some examples of how to blend in different lashes. Check out these GORGEOUS lashes I have found from Shu Uemura and Illamasqua -
To blend in Shu Uemura’s fabulous Goldglam Leaf Premium lashes I would coat the lashes in clear mascara or just spritz a fixing spray over closed eyes and then whilst the lashes are still wet carefully press on a gold eye shadow/pigment on the front and back of the lashes (as close to the colour of the false lashes as possible) from root to tip). Check out pigements from Mac pro and Barry M.
Wipe away any drop with a cleansing wipe.
(Using a powder as the top coat will give a metalic, semi matt finish very similar to the lashes.)
You are now ready to apply the lashes.
To blend natural lashes in to Shu Uemura’s Snow Twist Premium Lashes I would gather some clear mascara from the wand and then mix it with a similar silver eyeshadow powder/pigment.
Now with a disposable mascara wand apply the silver mascara mix by sweeping left and right to create a spiked lash look mirroring the false lashes.
You are now ready to apply the lashes.
These stunning blue lashes from Illamasqua have a electric colour and a glossy shine.
To recreate this I would mix some clear mascara with a bright blue pigment and apply on both sides with a disposable lash wand from root to tip.
You are now ready to apply the lashes.
Get the Look- Smoked Emerald
I recently did the make up for a beauty shoot which is in this months Componere magazine with the lovely Sarah Louise Johnson and Rowan Eugene Davis
This was their glitzy chrismas issue, they wanted sparkle so my first port of call was the Swarovski crystalised store (!!!!) where I got some gorgeous gems to adorn the model.
*Make up artists* check this store out- awesome for stocking up for creative beauty shoots.
- Get the look- Smoked Emerald
If you are going for colour this party season Try going green! Think about your colourings when selecting a tone. Green looks beautiful on brunettes and red heads it sits nicely on caucasian asian and black skin tones.
Sea greens make blue eyes look aqua ( I am in love with MAC‘s limited edition Mineralize Eye Shadow Blue Sorcery). An intense forest green (eg Rimmel colour rush in envy) intensifies the green in hazel eyes, and lime (Illamasqua powder eye shadow in Dare) will highligh the warm amber tones in brown eyes. I have used a bold stunning emmerald for the shot but if you want to try some thing muted try Bobbi Brown’s Sage, Be brave and give green a go!
To create this look on Hollie @ IMG Models London I applied Estee Lauder Double Wear Cream Shadow in Precious Jade with a firm brush over the entire eye lid. This is a great olive base which boasts 15 hours wear. I blended in to the socket line with my fingers and softened this by sweeping Bobbi Brown Wheat eye shadow from the socket line out .
I used MAC pigment in Emerald green over the top. This super opulent pearlised shade is true emerald. it has strong pigment and tiny little sparkle running through - Gorgeous! I lined the the eyes heavily with MAC Smoulder liner into the water line all the way into the inner corner of the eye and around the top and bottom lash lines, I then blended the pencil liner with a small liner brush. I intensified the sparkle by dabbing a finger tip of MAC Reflects Gold into the inner corner of the eye.
The eyes are finished off by curling the lashes and 2 coats of YSL mascara Volume effet faux cils.
I wiped away any drop from the eye shadow with a wet face wipe and applied Giorgio Armani foundation designer shaping cream foundation to Hollie’s skin using a foundation brush to get a perfect porcelain effect. I finished off the skin with a sweep of subtle nude blush.
For the lips I used a suptle coat of Clinique’s Superbalm Moisturising Gloss in apricot- delicious!
If you are daring enough to go all the way with this look I attached Swarovski Crystalised Green flat back, fancy stones by dotting a small amount of Duo glue (eyelash glue) in the centre of each stone (dont use to much or it will spill out at the sides!) Give them 20-30 seconds to go tacky and then place onto the cheek bone. Place them in a random pattern that highlights the cheek bone area, be carefull to apply them in even spaces.

How-to applying individual eyelashes
This is an exert from my previous how-to day evening glamour forEvery Model Magazine.
I thought this would be great for this time of year, I have seen salons charge £20 for this treatment but individual eyelashes is a treatment you can do at home, read on to find out how.
Individual eyelashes Eyelure (£4.80) are a make up artist’s favourite beauty secret. They can be customised to every model to simply add exceptionally natural thickness to lashes or even to create long-lasting fluttering glamour puss lashes. They can last up to 4 weeks and need little or no mascara eradicating the possibility of smudges or chips so perfect for evening beauty
Application
Before you start make sure your lashes are completely clean and oil free.
Select the lashes that will work best on you and thing about the finish you want, natural, glam, flared at the corner….
Choose how long you want the lashes to last, if only for1-2 days Duo lash glue (£8.50) is an outstanding glue for easy application and removal. Or for more of a semi permanent lash (up to 4 weeks) use Eyelure’s individual eyelash glue and remover which is included with the lashes.
Keep the eye you are working on closed throughout application.
With the glue applicator or a fine disposable brush apply the glue from the stem of the lash and spread up the lash a little so the lash has lots of surface area to adhere to your own lashes, be careful not to drown the lash in glue.
Give the lash a few seconds to go tacky.
Start from the corner of the lashes and work towards the middle
Hold the individual eyelash carefully with clean fingers tips in place pressing as close as possible to your lash root.
Open your eye when the glue is dry; do not panic if the eye corners stick at all when you open your eye. Carefully use your nails to pick any pulling glue off. Do be extremely careful through out the application, if any glue goes into the eye follow manufacturers guidelines.
Once the lashes are totally dry you can apply the rest of your make up but be extra careful not to pull or rub the lashes out of place.
I put a spell on you…. My how-to beauty looks from Pride magazine, Halloween edition
Check out the beauty editorial I wrote for pride magazine, this how-to appeared in their 09 Halloween edition. Part of the focus of this make up story was finding make up for very dark skin tones.
The model we had for this story was Annaliese Dayes from Oxygen models, we really transformed Annaliese for this look.
Photography by Dave Wise.
Black magic
Spell bounding looks to celebrate the beauty of ebony skin using midnight blues and sparkling jewel tones, just in time for this year’s party season and Halloween.
These hot looks come to life after dark and stay on well past midnight.
Bewitched
To achieve this mesmerising look start with the eyes to ensure you can wipe away any drops from the bright eye shadows.
MAC Pigment (priced £15) Purple was mixed with MAC PRO Mixing Medium/Eyeliner to create a liquid shadow.
This was applied accentuating the eyes in a cat like shape. Highlight the lid by sweeping Nars Night Life shadow (priced £14.00) close to the lash line.
Laura Mercier Purple Sapphire Kohl Eye Pencil ((priced £14.69) lined the bottom lash line but can also be used to map out the shape before filling in the eye shadow.
Collection 2000 Shake It Up glitter gel eyeliner was applied over the top of the lower liner to give an eye catching purple sparkle. Apply mascara and wipe away any drops then moisturise ready for foundation.
Annaleise wears MAC Micronised Airbrush foundation. This water resistant base has buildable coverage which lasts well and gives a dewy glow to the skin which will highlight the contours of the face.
The cheeks were subtly blushed using a plum toned blusher from Sleek Cosmetics. Glossy Claret lips were achieved by applying Loreal Studio Secrets Plum Lipsstick (priced £8.99) which was blotted before Rimmel Shock gloss in Magnificent (priced £4.49) was slicked over the top for a patent shine (priced £4.20)
For the nails I used L’Oreal Resist & Shine Titanium 710 Meteorite (priced £4.88).
Midnight
Start with the electrifying blue eyes. Use a blue pencil like Bourjois Contour Clubbing Waterproof eye pencil (priced £4.50) to trace around the upper and lower lash lines and smudge around the eye. This will give your eye shadow a crease-free water poof base to adhere to and intensify the colour in this area.
Now, sweep MAC’s Deep Truth eye shadow (priced £11.00) all over the lids and blend in MAC Plumage (priced £11.00) slightly out from the socket line.
Densely line the inside waterlines in MAC Smolder Kohl Liner (priced £12.00) and apply a platinum shine to the lips using Bobbi Brown Pearl Sugar Gloss (priced £14.00). Finish with Dior Show Waterproof Mascara (priced £20.00)
Once the skin around the eyes has been cleaned of any powder drops, apply YSL’s Matte Touch primer (priced £27.00) with finger tips to eradicate shine, create gorgeous velvet smooth skin and increase the endurance of foundation. Now apply Oil free Iman Second to None cream to powder foundation .
The finishing touch to this look was jewel toned talons Chanel nail colour, in Blue Satin
Party animal
Apply L’Oreal Studio Secrets Shadow Grey eye shadow (priced £5.99) to the whole lid area all the way up to the socket bone and also sweep along the lower lash line
Light up your eyes by highlighting the inner corners with a vibrant silver shadow MAC Pigment in Silver (priced £15.00) and give a flash of colour to it by blending blue eye shadow Bobbi Brown Midnight (priced £14.00) out from the outer corners, elongating the eye shape.
Add warmth to the cheeks with Bobbi Brown Cranberry (priced £16.00), paint some illuminating sparkle on the lips by sweeping on Chanel Levres Scintillantes Magnifique (priced £18.00) and to the nails by finishing the look with Gosh Nail Varnish in Gasoline (priced £4.89).
Now you are ready to go out and own the night.
My how-to. Evening make up recently published in Every model magazine
I recently wrote a seasonal how-to which I thought everyone would enjoy coming close to Christmas. I also did the make up for this editorial with amazing photographer and good friend Dave Wise.
Evening make up
It’s that time of year again when grudgingly we watch our tans quickly fade, pile on the woolly layers and wave good bye to the last days of summer but thankfully we have a glitz filled party season to cheer us up. I have created professional step by step evening looks so you can turn heads this autumn.
Effortless glamour
This look is long lasting understated and elegant; the alluring lashes add instant femininity.
Individual eyelashes Eyelure (£4.80) are a make up artist’s favourite beauty secret. They can be customised to every model to simply add exceptionally natural thickness to lashes or even to create long-lasting fluttering glamour puss lashes. They can last up to 4 weeks and need little or no mascara eradicating the possibility of smudges or chips so perfect for evening beauty
Application
Before you start make sure your lashes are completely clean and oil free.
Select the lashes that will work best on you and thing about the finish you want, natural, glam, flared at the corner….
Choose how long you want the lashes to last, if only for1-2 days Duo lash glue (£8.50) is an outstanding glue for easy application and removal. Or for more of a semi permanent lash (up to 4 weeks) use Eyelure’s individual eyelash glue and remover which is included with the lashes.
Keep the eye you are working on closed throughout application.
With the glue applicator or a fine disposable brush apply the glue from the stem of the lash and spread up the lash a little so the lash has lots of surface area to adhere to your own lashes, be careful not to drown the lash in glue.
Give the lash a few seconds to go tacky.
Start from the corner of the lashes and work towards the middle
Hold the individual eyelash carefully with clean fingers tips in place pressing as close as possible to your lash root.
Open your eye when the glue is dry; do not panic if the eye corners stick at all when you open your eye. Carefully use your nails to pick any pulling glue off. Do be extremely careful through out the application, if any glue goes into the eye follow manufacturers guidelines.
Once the lashes are totally dry you can apply the rest of your make up but be extra careful not to pull or rub the lashes out of place.
A flawless base is key when working a naturally gorgeous look and vitally important for every model to be able to achieve in their working lives.
Determine your skin type and ensure you select your skin care according to this. Banish any overly perfumed or abrasive products from your bath room cabinet; don’t over load your skin. (For advice try a Dermalogica skin mapping consultation 0800 591 818 ).
Now your skin is perfectly clean and moisturised a primer is a fantastic product to get a prolonged smooth finish from your foundation. Smooth Laura Mercier’s moisturising primer £26.43 in with finger tips to get a deliciously dewy glow to dry/normal skins or apply L’Oreal studio secrets anti shine mattifying primer (£9.99) This competitively priced primer holds its own to the big dogs and gives a beautifully smooth velvety finish which controls shine for oily skins and keeps your foundation fresh for hours.
Start your make up with your eyes this way any drop from the eye shadow can be wiped away before your foundation is applied.
Lightly sweep Bobbi Brown Bone eye shadow £14 all over the eye from lid to brow as a base, follow with Mac Woodwinked £11 blending over the lid area and blend a lighter shadow to highlight into the inner corner of the eye and to highlight just below the brow area, Mac Shroom £11.
Wipe away any drop and line the eyes tracing neatly around the lash line and blend with a fine eyeliner brush. Chanel long lasting waterproof eyeliner in Espresso.
Wipe away any powder drop with a face wipe and then apply Bobbi Brown Skin foundation (£27.00) with a foundation brush for long wearing buildable coverage that looks like perfect skin. Cover up any visible imperfections with Bobbi Brown touch up stick (£17.00).
Lightly press a little Rimmel Stay Matt Powder over the t-zone to set and bronze outwards from the forehead spread out from the tops of cheeks and dab a tiny small amount on the bridge of the nose. Bronzer gives more believable depth to the face and eradicates any unnatural blankness from the foundation Guerlain Bronzer (£30.00).
To give an instant healthy glow to the apples of the cheeks dust Illamasqua’s powder blush in Chased (£16.00)
Finish with a glossy long lasting lipstick Bobbi Browns Creamy lip Colour in Crystal Pink (£15)
Smokey eyes and pale lips (Annalise)
Again start with the eyes. You will get a lot of noticeable powder drop from a dark smokey look so start with a cream to give extra drama and a good base for shadows to adhere to.
For the eye look I have used Dior 5 Couleurs Designer palette in Smokey design 08. An all in one palette with 4 textured blendable shades and a cream liner with a matt velvety texture which in this case I also used as a base for my shadows.
I spread the cream over the whole of the lid and blended the darkest shadow over the lid and the medium shimmering shade over the centre of the lids and into the corners and traced it around the lower lash line.
Macs smoulder eye kohl pencil (£12.00) was densely penciled into the upper and lower water lines and blended into the lash line using a fine brush to add fierce intensity.
A matt brown powder was blended in to the eye socket area and Bobbi Brown’s Bone Powder (as before) was used to high light under the eyebrows.
I applied 2 coats of mascara combing through from roots to tips as the finishing touch to the eyes Make up Forever’s Smokey Lash Mascara (£14.00)
After combing through the eyebrows I used Laura Mercier’s double ended brow brush (£27.00) and swept through Laura Mercier’s brow defining wax in a light feathering motion where ever the brows looked sparse. As the eyes are so striking do not over do the eyebrows, keep them natural to avoid the look becoming hard.
I applied Iman’s Luminous foundation to Annalise’s skin using a sponge, the oil free formulas and vast selections of colours are perfect for darker skin tones. Cover up any visible imperfections with Bobbi Brown touch up stick (£17.00).
Once the foundation has settled lightly press a little Rimmel Stay Matt Powder over the t-zone with a powder brush to set. Bobbi Brown’s blusher in Tawny (£16.00) was subtly brushed on to the apples of the cheeks to give a healthy flash of warmth.
To create a long lasting pale lip a pencil liner slightly lighter than Annalise’s lips was applied all over the lip area to tone down the lips MAC Naked Rose Cream stick Liner (£10.50). Nars Supervixen Lipgloss (£17.00) was painted neatly over the lips to finish this look.
