I have a lovely subscriber who recently asked me about my favourite make-up look. I have to admit that I change my look every day. That is for me the most fun about fashion, being able to try out something new each morning. If I had to live with one single look, it would definitely be smokey eyes and pale lips.
Please find herewith my personal list and description how to achieve this style:
1 a good concealer: Christian Dior’s Skinflash (I use it also as a eyeshadow base)
2 a moisturizing foundation: Christian Dior’s Diorskin Nude make-up (great for dry skin), I use N° 020 or 030 depending on my tan
3 a complexion enhancer: Benefit’s High Beam (I like to use it over the foundation)
4 cream blush for contouring: Nars Lamu and Orgasm
5 brow lifting: Benefit’s High Brow
6 a brow powder to fill in the gaps: Anastasia in Ash Blonde/ Taupe
7 a brow gel to fix them: Anastasia in Clear
8 a gorgeous eye shadow palette with easy-to-follow step by step instructions: Too Faced’s Smokey Eye (I love blue shades)
9 for glitter: Mac’s Pigment Colour Powders in Frozen White, Cornflower and Dark Soul (they are not easy to handle, so please try them first, but they last forever)
10 a good eyeliner: Bobbi Brown’ s Gel Eyeliner in Granite Ink
11 best eyepencil in the world: Prescriptives, Softlining Pencil in Jet
12 a good mascara (this is very personal): YSL’s Mascara Singulier in Black
13 this blush suits everybody: Helena Rubinstein’s Wanted Blush in Glowing Peach
14 for deeper colour: Burberry’s Natural Blush in Russet N°1
15 best face glow: Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Brick Compact in Nude
16 one of my favourite lipsticks: Mac’s Sandy B. combined with C-Thru lipgloss
17 for more sparkles: Chanel’s lip definer in Natural and Glossimer N°257
18 camouflage for emergencies: Benefit’s Erase Paste
19 to refresh your look during the day or for a more natural foundation, the new Christian Dior Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Creme-Gel Make-up (amazing product! -available from October 29th, 2010)
20 a good powder: Mac’s Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in LightMedium
21 best brushes: Bobbi Brown
22 please never forget to clean your brushes on a regular basis: I love Bobbi Brown’s Brush Cleaning Spray
Let’s get started: Happy Colouring!
