Anatomy of a face

 

Oh so sheer ”To help Chloë’s make-up stay put, I used Smashbox Photo Finish Light Primer,£26.65 (1), on her T-zone, before applying Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Mont Blanc, £29.50. Its satin-like texture built up coverage without masking Chloë’s complexion.”

Feeling flush ”To add warmth to Chloë’s skin I used Emani Mineral Pressed Blush in Ay Pappi!,£12.95 (2). It’s silky soft and the barely there colour complements her skin tone.”

Living the high light “Mac Strobe Cream, £12 (3), is an essential item in my kit, mixed with a foundation, or applied to specific areas of a prepped face. It can be used to highlight your cheekbones, just under your eyebrows to open the eye, and down the centre of your nose to contour and slim.”

Dark circles be gone “If you’re tired or under pressure the vein that runs down the inner eye and nose area becomes darker – causing dark circles, even in teenagers. I used Dr Hauschka Pure Care Cover Stick 01, £16.95, as it contains therapeutic, natural botanicals to soothe redness. For a flawless finish, I lightly dusted on The Green People Pressed Mineral Powder SPF15 in Honey, £20.45 (4).”

Going nude ”For a clean, neutral tone I applied Mac Eyeshadow in Blanc, £12 (5), to Chloë’s lids. The eyelid can be one of the warmest coloured parts of the face so I tend to start with this product, as it has neither a pink nor a yellow tone so creates the perfect base for any nude look.”

Let it glow “For Chloë’s fab complexion, I prepped her skin with Ila Spa Face Oil For Glowing Radiance, £68 (6). It sorts tired, dry eyes, too – apply a little on to your ring fingertip, removing excess on the back of your hand, and tap into the areas that feel tight.”

All a-flutter “Chloë loves her lashes full, but clump-free and clean, so I used Dr Hauschka Black Mascara, £17.95 (7), which builds and defines without creating lumps. I then applied a black eyeliner with a chic elongated flick.”
