Here's what you'll need:


We're just going to put together an easy, everyday look.


We're using Maybelline Great Lash Mascara (not pictured), MAC Prolongwear concealer (not pictured), MAC Rimal Dahabia eyeshadow quad, NARS lipstick in Last Tango, Topshop blush in Flush, and MAC Prep and Prime powder in Translucent.


If you're looking for a high street setting powder, you could try L'Oreal Nude BB powder or Rimmel Match Perfection Powder.

Start with your base.


Think about the amount of coverage you want. If you have any blemishes or redness, cover them up with concealer. If you want light day-to-day coverage, perhaps a BB cream is best for you. If you want more long-lasting coverage and a flawless base, then consider foundation. Just remember to match your coverage to your skin tone.


When it comes to selecting a foundation, use your jawline or your neck to get a good colour match. Visit a make-up counter and ask for a trial application from a make-up artist. You don't need to make a purchase immediately – it's good to spend the day testing out how it looks in different lighting and how it feels on your skin.
