Smokey Summer Nights

As the weather is getting hotter, so will you, with this sexy, summer night inspired look. This look is perfect for those glamorous summer evenings, sipping cocktails in St Tropez. This look is soft, smoky and seductive.

Simply follow this step by step guide to get the look:

Skincare

Start by cleansing and toning with Clarins Cleanser and Toner Duo. Moisturise with Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital High Potency Moisturiser, which hydrates and protects, perfect for summer with SPF 15.

Its important to look after the delicate eye area on holiday. Try Clarins Eye Revive Beauty Flash. This brightens and minimises the signs of fatigue, perfect for late nights and after long flights, to give an instant boost.

 

Base

Step One

Apply a natural base. I've used Stila Sheer Colour Tinted Moisturiser in medium. This gives sheer coverage and moisturises. At the same time this moisturiser is a perfect alternative to foundation, yet still gives coverage and is ideal for great flawless, holiday skin.

Step Two

Conceal around the eyes and nose with L'Oreal Touche Magique concealer and set with translucent loose powder down the centre, to give an all over polished, perfected look that lasts.

Also apply a little concealer and powder to the eyelids, to help your eye make up stay put.

 

Eyes

On the eyes I've used this amazing Stila Eyeshadow Palette, custom created for Beauty21.

Step One

 Apply Cloud (shimmering neutral grey) all over the lid, with a medium sized eyeshadow brush. Then press Cha Cha (shimmery, sheer seafoam green) on top, concentrating the colour on the lower part of the lid and blending the two colours together to get an opulent, two tone effect.

 

 

 

 

Step Two

Apply Twig (a shimmering brown, earthy colour) with a smaller smudge eyeshadow brush around the lash line and blend upwards, keeping that subtle smokiness near the base of the eyelid.

 

 

 

 

 

Step Three

Use Expresso (shimmering grey/brown) as a liner, apply with a slightly damp eyeliner brush to create soft definition.

Stila eyeshadows are amazing. The textures are so soft, blendable and easy to use.

  If you want to add more drama, try Stila Smudge Pot in Cobalt. It's an amazing navy tone, which is perfect for making your eyes pop! And so much easier to apply than a pencil. Its very similar to Bobbi Brown's Iconic Gel Liners, but better as they don't tend to dry out as quickly.

 

Lips / Cheeks

On the lips I've applied Rimmel Stay Glossy Lip Gloss in Mauve Addiction. This colour is great for all skin tones and lasts up to 6 hours.

On her cheeks I've applied Bourjois Cream Blusher in Delice D'Or. I've applied it to the apples of the cheeks and then set with translucent powder, to make it last the heat of the summer night.

And I lastly dusted this Elizabeth Arden Bronzing Powder all over to get that soft, but natural summer glow.
