Today on site, we're looking at how to get a celeb summertime look with your wardrobe, in the style of some of our favourite celebs: Alexa Chung, Ellie Goulding, Fearne Cotton and Kelly Osborne.
Here on the blog, we've got celebrity make-up artist Kirstin Piggott back again, on behalf of Rimmel London, to tell us the make-up tricks they use to stay looking fabulous:
- To achieve celebrity style make-up you need to get a flawless looking base. The trick is to lightly apply your make-up, and enhance all your best features. Always use a foundation that gives you beautiful, fresh, flawless looking skin, lightly concealing any problem areas.
- To pop open your eyes, like Alexa, curl and mascara your lashes, and add a healthy pop of colour to your cheek using either a soft peach, pink or light matte bronzer.
- To finish your look wear a gorgeous nude shade lipstick or a tinted lip balm. Or you can try a bold lipstick like Ellie and Kelly, to add a touch of colour.
- To ensure a smooth, even and perfect application when wearing a bright lip, buff and balm the lips before applying your lipstick. You can use a lip scrub or a toothbrush to remove any dry flakes of skin. Lightly balm your lips so that they are soft and supple. Lightly base your mouth using your foundation, and, using a liner the same shade as your lipstick, line the entire lip area. This makes a great base for your lipstick and prevents bleeding. Use a lip brush to apply your lip colour as this will give you much more control than applying straight from the stick.
- Finally, blot your lip using a tissue and reapply another coat as this will give you a longer lasting effect.
