The Lookbook: Kylie Jenner

The 'Kylie Jenner Lip' has been a big talking point amongst beauty fans these past weeks. Whether little Miss Jenner is injecting those lips with fillers or extending them with liner, they look amazing and girls everywhere have been dying to know what colour she puts on them. For those who care, she applies MAC's Whirl Liner across the entire lip. She also revealed that MAC's Velvet Teddy is another one of her favourite lip colours.

Her makeup is always flawless, so it's no surprise that there are already hundreds of tutorials on how to replicate it. I am obsessed with her everyday makeup look, so I created something that was similar but a little softer.

Here is what I used to create the look...

Skincare:
- Antipodes Apostle Skin Brightening & Tone-Correcting Serum
- Dermalogica Age Smart Skin Perfect Primer SPF30
- Elizabeth Arden Flawless Future Eye Gel
- Homemade lip scrub (recipe here!)

- Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer in Light Golden
- Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in Addiction
- MAC The Perfect Cheek Blush

Weekly Worship: Avène, Amazing Concealer and Elizabeth Arden


Price: £6.50 / $12.00 150ml

The Avène Thermal Spring Water is a product I've loved for a long time, so it's about time I gave it a shout out. Some people say these sprays are just tap water in a can, but I disagree.

This Avène Thermal Spring Water calms and soothes the skin and provides a much-needed refreshment on hot days, long days and tiring days. It's special because it contains Avene's famous Thermale Spring Water, which is infused with trace elements and silicates - a perfectly balanced mineral composition ideal for sensitive skin. Over 300 stringent biological, pharmacological and clinical studies have proven the skin-healing and soothing benefits of this miracle water, so bulls**t it is not.

What I love most about this product is that it has a million different uses. One of which is to dampen makeup brushes in order to apply loose pigments, make shadow colours pop and transform eyeshadows into liners.

This is the best concealer I have ever used.

I have the worst dark circles and struggle finding a concealer that covers them completely, without the need of a thousand layers. However everything changed when the Amazing Concealer from Amazing Cosmetics came into my life. It conceals perfectly, blends like a dream and it so pigmented that only the tiniest amount of product is required - so say goodbye to dark circles and the dreaded concealer crease!!

It is pretty costly however, as such a little amount is needed to cover the eye area and one application lasts all day, one tube should go the distance. I honestly couldn't imagine life without it!

Elizabeth Arden's new eye gel is part of the Flawless Future Powered by Ceremide collection and it is everything. Ceremide - an innovative ingredient included in some of the best Elizabeth Arden products - provides the skin with a huge number of benefits (find out more here).

This Flawless Future Rejuvenating Eye Gel tightens, brightens and hydrates and leaves even the most tired of eyes looking refreshed and wide awake. It soothes the eyes the second it is applied and its ophthalmalic tip allows for solid control over how much product comes out. I have now been using this eye gel daily for the past three weeks and my fine lines are reduced and the whole eye area significantly more hydrated .
