Cassie Lomas Make Up Artist: Get Coleen's fresh summer glow!

I always saw pictures of Coleen and thought I'd love to do her make up. I love that she keeps it so fresh and yet still polished.
This look I created for the new seasons Littlewoods range so if you want to recreate it, here's how.....

Use a base with a dewy glow, applying a little over the cheeks and nose and feathering it outwards with a brush. This will give you coverage where you need it without overloading the skin.

Define brows firstly combing through a wax then by filling in any sparse areas with a powder shadow on a stiff angled brush.

A light wash of pearly colour over the lower lid will pick up the light and then use a mid tone brown to contour your eye in the crease, using back and forth sweeps in a half moon shape with a fluffy blending brush. Use small amounts of colour to avoid overload, you can always top up but it's hard to tone down.
Finish with a light coat of lengthening mascara, separating lashes and opening the eye.

Use a black kohl liner to gently smudge definition into the roots of your lashes. This will give the illusion of longer lashes and also make your eye colour stand out. Don't apply the kohl from the pencil, instead use a stiff, fine angled brush dipped into the kohl to again keep application minimal.

Give your cheeks a light wash of colour making sure you pick a blush with a sheen. Smile into the mirror and apply in a circular swirl the colour onto the apples of your cheeks. To blend the colour lightly extend your brushstrokes to go towards the centre of the ear (don't add extra colour here, simply blend out what is already there).

Finish with a sheen for your lips. This can be anything from a balm to an iridescent gloss.

When you've finished Use a highlighter to brush over your cheekbones, brow bones and cupids bow. This will really pick up the light where you want it to.

I love these products for this look......
