The Secrets to Victoria Beckhams favourite look...

Victoria Beckham has just launched her second makeup collection with Estée Lauder.



Victoria's favourite look is a strong smokey eye and a nude lip, indeed she doesn't leave the house without a nude lippie.

Working alongside her favourite makeup artist Wendy Rowe, Victoria gave her top five secrets to achieving her favourite look.

1) Achieve Flawless skin! Illuminate and even out the skin tone. Use a moisturising primer then apply a little foundation to even the skin tone. You could try the 'Morning Aura Illuminating cream' £72.00 (image above).

2) Use a vanilla eye pencil in the waterline to make eyes look awake and fresher. The secret to her smoky eye is to then apply a kohl pencil into the eyelashes and all around the eyes and set with powder.  You can smudge it with a finger tip, it looks like you have not tried too hard.

3) Open eyes with colour.  Apply a shadow through the sockets in circular movements with a fluffy blender brush. The shade 'Bordeaux' is a great colour for any skin tone and looks luxurious.  Apply strong mascara to finish.

4) Victoria is obsessed with Nude lipliner.  Try a shade one tone lighter than your natural lip colour.  Next apply a nude pink shade of lipstick onto the centre of the top and bottom lip to create the illusion of fuller lips. The perfect nude lip colour is £38.00 in shade 'Victoria' (image above).

5) Apply bronzer to contour or dust all over into the hairline and under the cheekbones.
To finish apply illuminating primer onto the back of your hand and dab onto the top of the cheekbones, down the centre of the nose and the cupids bow.

My top five make-up products for June!

1) Lola lip brush available at M&S. 
I have been on the hunt for the perfect lip brush for what feels like forever! All of the premium brands I have tried the brush hairs splay out after some use making for rather annoying application of lip colour. I tested out the Lola lip brush, a great price at £10.00 last year and six months later I am so impressed no splayed hairs at all and I have just brought another!
2) Daniel Sandler Rosy Tan Eyeshadow.
This colour is a beautiful shade of pink that if I am honest I have found very hard to find anything similar to.  A staple in my kit and used on so many of my clients this is a firm summer favourite of mine. Looks great worn alone or with browns, greys or purples for stronger and smokier eyes.
3) MAC Shale Eyeshadow.
I have always loved this shade it looks particularly good on mature eyes! A mauve shade that's great for achieving smokey eye looks aswell as softer daytime eyes. Incidentally this is the perfect partner to Daniel Sandler Rosy Tan-wear this on eyelids and 'shale' through the sockets for a defined eye.
4) Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation.
I am loving this foundation at the moment! It stays all day and achieves beautiful flawless coverage.
This is a new favourite of mine and is ideal for those that like a perfect full coverage foundation.  The light version is less heavy and equally as fabulous.
5) Loreal Paris Glam Shine Gloss Brilliance 6hr.
These glosses are just great! An excellent colour range I have most in my kit now and one shade 'Fresh Tangerine 405' has remained in my make up bag so you know it must be good! Affordable and long wearing what more could a girl want.


Happy Shopping!
