This season it’s all about natural beauty and I’m going to take you through how to achieve the ‘nude’ look by using some of the best of the Benefit range. Nude doesn’t mean that you have to strip away your makeup, the key to achieving the look is to make sure that you emphasise the eyes and the cheekbones without piling on the eyeliner and bronzer to help you achieve that fresh faced glow.

To help create a base I would recommend this cute little set called Realness of concealness. Priced at  £23.50  it includes ‘ooh la lift’ an instant under-eye brightening boost, ‘lemon aid’ which is a colour correcting eyelid primer and ‘boi-ing 02’ which is  a high strength concealer which can be applied under the eyes to disguise dark circles.  It also has high beam which I swear by because it can easily be applied to the cheekbones and eye area with the fine nail varnish style brush, and a lip plump primer that helps you to achieve a look of fuller lips with a touch of gloss.

Now it’s time to start applying some colour, I like this Silky Powder vanilla cream colour eyeshadow which is now £8.25 reduced from £12.50 which will give you a fantastic shimmer on the eyelids.

Use a pair of eyelash curlers to help emphasise and define the lashes.  Then apply two coats of Bad Gal Mascara sweeping from the lid towards the tips of the lashes and direct the brush upwards so you set the curl of the lashes. Apply another coat just to the lower lashes but only in the corner of your eye so the effect is still fairly understated.

Now it’s time to concentrate on the cheeks and I find that that gal brightening face primer adds a lovely natural glow to the cheekbones without being overpowering and it can be applied for wearing in the evening for a more striking look.

To help polish off the look, treat your body to a fabulously luxurious body balm called body so fine. It comes with a puff which helps you smooth it onto your skin. The balm has a silky sheen which is great for showing off those shoulders and legs without having to use a product which is glittery, and is perfumed with a classic scent of white blossoms which will make you feel gorgeous.  It is simply perfect for the nude look because ‘it’s all you’ll want to wear!’
