We’ve all been there, looking at photos of Cara Delevingne, Victoria Secrets Models and other air brushed celebrities, hoping
that we could look even a tiny bit as flawless as them. Today, I wanted to tell
you about my favourite products for creating a perfect base, to give you a
complexion to rival Kim Kardashians and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's…



To create my favourite face base, the one that
gives me the most flawless finish, I first use Rouge Bunny Rouge's Luminous
Skin Wand under the eyes, I've had this for ages and really love it. I'd
say this is a dupe for YSL's Touche Eclat, another alternative is L'Oreal's Lumi Magique Pen although this is thicker than
both YSL's and L'Oreal's under eye concealers so it's much better for coverage.
I use Benefit's Fake Up for contouring when creating my every day
foundation look.
When it
comes to foundation Dior Forever Foundation is my
ultimate for creating the most flawless base. I am so happy I
re-bought this, you can read a review of it here. I put this
over the top of my concealer and then use the Real Techniques Expert Face
Brush to blend this in (the worlds best brushes, again another review of those little babies here). I
had to apply quite a lot of this because my natural tan/freckles from my
holiday really shine through. Just call me Mrs freckles! If you're looking for
a cheaper alternative I'd highly recommend Vichy's Dermablend foundation, it's
my ultimate high-street foundation for flawless skin.
I then
applied YoungBlood's HD powder in translucent which really does make
your face look HD ready and pretty perfect, it just blurs out any
imperfections. For warmth, I then apply my trusty MAC Mineralize Powder
in Medium/Dark (I swear by this powder seriously). To finish off the
highlighting it's all about MAC's Soft and Gentle Powder Highlighter.
This highlighter is so good for giving you a Kim Kardashian highlighting look
but with it being a powder it's such an easy look to achieve.
I used L'Oreal's
Telescopic on the eyes, it's very dark but it isn't too thick, so it makes
the lashes look naturally long but not too clumpy. This mascara separates the
lashes perfectly, in fact, making them too long sometimes haha. It's very wet
so just be careful that you don't smudge it, it has the potential to ruin your
whole face of make up if you smudge it under your eyes.
When it
comes to creating the perfect natural lip, I go for Clarins Natural Lip
Perfector every time. I've discussed this on the blog a lot because I find
that it gives me such a pretty, natural and 3D lip. I love anything that makes
my lips look bigger and this really does make you want to show off that pout.
Thank you Clarins, I really do love you for giving me such kissable lips.
Because
this is a natural look, I finished it off with a hint of Clinique's
Fresh Bloom All Over Colour blusher. I kindly received some of
Clinique's new products recently and I am more than impressed. You can read
about some of them in my September make up bag post. All hail
Clinique, they've really got it right with their new products.
Have you
used any of these products? Do you like the sound of them? Everyone is
different, so I'd LOVE to know what you use to create your flawless and natural
make up look?
Lots of love, Em x
