A Gorgeous Summery Step-by-Step Make-Up Look

As summer approaches (albeit very, very slowly) it's time to start thinking about getting a gorgeous, natural, summery make-up look. One that's perfect for an evening of sipping Pimms in your favourite sun dress. Excessively large sun hat optional.

Here's a beautiful, soft, sun-kissed look that I tried out on my dear friend Anna.
Before: Anna without make-up

Apply a few dabs of Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturiser SPF20, £33, for a healthy glowing complexion - it's a really light product which feels amazing on the skin, perfect for summer.

Apply NARS Cosmetics Multi-Use Stick in Puerto Vallerto, £30 (a sweet shimmering orange) to the apples of the cheeks. Enhance cheek bone definition by applying a light bronzer (such as Maybelline Dream Terra Sun in Light, £5.99) to the hollows of the cheeks and temples.

Build the eyes with a golden bronze shimmer, with darker tones on the outer edges of the eye. I used the Urban Decay Naked Palette, £36 (mainly Half Baked and Darkhorse) Then add a sweep of highlighting powder to the brow bone, such as MAC Cosmetics shadow in Nylon.

Add a line of Clinique's Brush On Cream Liner in Smoke Grey, £15, extending into a flick on the outer corner of the eye. Always do this with the eye open, so the flick follows the natural line. 

App a few sweeps of a mineral powder to the t-zone area for a super flawless complexion. I used Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, £3.99

Add a golden pink to the lips, such as MAC Cosmetics lipstick in Plink! £14
