Makeup artist Jose Bass shares his steps for recreating Anna’s natural glow
Prep: To begin, remove any makeup by massaging Clinique’s Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm into your face – it’s a very soothing product. Next, apply Moisture Surge 72-Hour Hydrator, which is a moisturiser that also acts as a primer.
Base: For a natural look like Anna’s, try Beyond Perfecting Foundation – she wears Cream Rose 3.5, applied with a stippling brush, such as a Clinique Buff Brush, for a sheer finish. If you like fuller coverage, you can also use your fingers. Now apply concealer under the eyes and around the nose and chin, where required. Anna wears Beyond Perfecting Super Concealer in Very Fair 04. I always apply concealer after rather than before foundation as it gives a less heavy result and you end up using it only where you need to.
Eyes: Here I stuck to a simple palette, taking the dark shade from the Like Mink eyeshadow duo along the socket line and feathering it out. I then blended a Chubby Stick in on the lids and under the eye for a sheer wash of colour – Bountiful Beige is a good shade for everyday wear, or try Fuller Fudge for a little more drama. Anna is time-pressed so everything is done on the go, and this product is great for that. Next, use the All About Shadow Quad in Pink Chocolate, pressing the dark shade against the upper lash line. Finish with High Impact Curling Mascara in black on the upper lashes.
Cheeks: To define Anna’s cheekbones, I went for True Bronze Pressed Powder Bronzer in Sunblushed. Take it across the apples of the cheeks, along the temples and under the jaw. Apply Precious Posy Pressed Powder to the apples, then the Chubby Stick Sculpting Contour in the hollows. For a natural glow use the Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight on the cheekbones, beneath the eye socket, down the nose and on the cupid’s bow. And remember to blend.
Lips: Anna is tasting food all the time, so she likes a natural, easygoing look: a lip colour true to her own, but slightly more luscious. To achieve this, apply Sweet Pots Sugar Scrub & Lip Balm in Sweet Rose (a brilliant product) then Chubby Stick Lip Colour Balm in Mighty Mimosa.
