Kate had slightly dry skin, so I initially used Laura Mercier Hydrating Primer, followed by Bobbi Brown Moisture rich foundation in shade 2. I lightly brushed over with Ben Nye Translucent Powder.

I lightly primed the eye lid with Laura Mercier eye basics in linen and brushed over with Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder to set.

The eye-shadows used were. Mac- Shroom in the inner corner of the lid. For the outer corner of the lid, up to the socket line, I applied a mix of earthy browns from the Screenface Eyeshadow pallette blending up towards the brow-bone, but not as far as.

Kate has beautiful green eyes and I wanted to enhance this colour, so I used a little MAC- Glare in the centre of the eyelid. This is a goldie eyeshadow with a slight green tinge to it, which subtly helps to bring out the green in the eye.

I applied Bobbi Brown Chocolate Shimmer Gel Eyeliner with a flat brush to the edge of the upper lid, blending up slightly to create a slightly smokey look, which is still fairly natural. Also to the outer corner under the eyes, blending slightly with a clean brush.

I curled her Lashes with Shu Uemura curlers and used Blinc Black Mascara. I then applied a few individual false lashes , just on the outer corner of her eyes.

For her cheeks I used Nars Orgasm powder blush.
The lips, I used MAC Viva Glam V

I finished the look with a light spray of Makeup Forever Mist and Fix to help it last throughout the day with minimum touch-ups.
