This is the inspiration for the makeup look its a GREAT day to day look not too crazy very focused on her eyes and glowy skin. Just dandy for the sun which is finally very neigh! Enjoy xxx
Primer (optional):
If you were to use a primer for this look I highly suggest you use the Bourjois Paris Happy Light Luminous Serum Primer (Boots have this on offer! So if you don't have it you need buy it)
http://www.boots.com - Bourjois-Paris-Happy-Light-Luminous-Serum-Primer
Perhaps even the Touche Éclat Blur Primer (This is a bit more pricey but it does the job beautifully)
http://www.debenhams.com YSL PRIMER
Use your fingers to massage this product in, both of the primers, have a great consistency, so are lovely to apply especially the Bourjois one it's literally feels like moisturizer ! :)
Foundation:
a product like YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation (which Boots currently have on an amazing points incentive!)
http://www.boots.com/YSLFoundation
A great dupe for YSL is Rimmel Wake Me Up Make Up Foundation (again on offer like at Boots! Everyone still raves by this foundation as a great summer foundation to use)
http://www.boots.com/Rimmel-Foundation
For this I would say use the Real Techniques Stippling Brush using in small circular motions around the whole face in both directions (clockwise and anti-clockwise). Alternatively use any stippling brush, for the YSL foundation I would say the most popular way is with your fingers it just melts into the skin - you'll need a half a pump for your WHOLE face, then if you want add another half pump on top. Work onto your neck just to make it look more effortless.
Bronzer/Blush (optional) :
From what I can tell about this look she isn't wearing any but if you want you can use a Matte bronzer
Such as the Nars Cosmetics Bronzing Powder/Nars Laguna Bronzer
http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/NarsBronzing+powder
Another dupe for the Nars bronzer is this amazing Sleek Face Contour Kit (which is a BARGIN!)
http://www.superdrug.comSleek-Face-Contour-Kit
I feel the DUO Fiber Brush Face Brush is a good as it lightly applies the product good for anyone with a heavy hand like myself :( Just run it under your check bones and the perimeter of your forehead.
For blush if you like you want some just your favorite colour which makes you look naturally flushed they can be matte or slightly glittered for this look
You could any shade you like from Sleek as they're all great but for this look I'd say use Sleek Blush By 3 Lace - the darker shade in this pallet (again on sale !)
http://www.superdrug.com/Sleek-BlushLace
Maybe use a smidge (is that a word? lol) Cream Blush in Afternoon Tea by TopShop
http://www.topshop.comblushes
Use you fingers for cream/tint blushers but for powder ones use the before mentioned - DUO Fiber Brush Face Brush / Real Techniques Stippling Brush
Brows:
Her eye brows are done very full but with a very light colour to soften it whilst giving a lovely full and defined brow.
You could use a very light eye shadow using an The 3 Smaller Brushes From This Set or stick with your normal eyebrow routine - Just try to make them look au natural.
But the product I know can give this look is the Soap & Glory ARCHERY 2-in-1 Brow Filling Pencil & Brush (again Boots to the rescue as again it is on offer too!)
http://www.boots.com/ARCHERY
Eyes:
The main look on her eyelids is the very heavy cat eye I would suggest the Soap & Glory™ Supercat™ Eyeliner Pen Carbon Black Extreme
http://www.boots.com/Soap-GlorySupercat
Or
Rimmel Exaggerate Eye Liner (A long favorite of mine and my mothers)
http://www.boots.com/Rimmel-Exaggerate
^^Both eyeliners are on sale at Boots!!
Mascara (optional) :
You could use brown mascara on your top and lower lashes OR just use some black only on the top set of eyelashes which is something that again is optional even if she is wearing any it's not enough to notice as the eyeliner is so thick it covers up her lashes - does that make sense haha
I highly recommend the Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara or the Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara for this look - On a serious note EVERYTHING from Scandaleyes range is perfect !! From the Eyeliners, Mascaras, PaintPots - just everything seriously invest in them as every thing is on sale on Boots !! :D
Lips
Ella is wearing a very strong nude colour on her lips which every annoyingly doesn't suit everyone but a neat way I like to get these lips is by using normal Vaseline on my lips which a get of a liquid highlighter (lightly) applied on top then I blend it out with my lips
Highlighters I recommend for this
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Radiant Touch Highlighting Pen
http://www.boots.com/eHighlighting-Pen
L'Oreal Lumi Magique Concealer
http://www.boots.com/LOreal-Lumi-Magique
^^Both on promotion at Boots :D
If you want you can also apply the highlight on the high points of your check just to give you that extra glow! Use your fingers to blend it out x
Oily skin people/how to blot during the day
Then If you have oily skin like me, powder your nose and and the center of your forehead and chin you can use Rimmel Clear Complexion Transparent Powder (on sale eeeek!)
During the day you can use a translucent powder or if it gets too much just use a tissue and gently blot the excess shine off as this help prevent the look from looking heavy as it such a natural beauty look which is why I love it <3
Beauty Mark/Freckles:
So if you have beautiful beauty mark(s) on your face then feel free to draw them back in as this is something I know Ella like to do sometimes - You can use a Light Brown Pencil Eyeliner (this one is very long lasting and pigmented) to dot it back to life - this will make it look more natural !! :)
FINALLY - You're done xxx
All the products mentioned are ones that I own myself and love - so if I've mentioned it, it means its a good/great product !!
