Michael Kors “Apres-ski” look

To get this classic winter sports exhileration look without stepping out onto the snow you will need;

A bright, juicy pink coloured blusher.  I go to Clarins Multi-Blush in Raspberry which is a perfect colour match for this cheek, sadly they have stopped making it.  Illamasqua make a similar product – a creamy, matte blusher in a bright, rosy pink with a dewy finish.  Choose colour “Laid” or you could try Benetint by Benefit, the classic “pinch your cheeks” product.  Just avoid shimmer – girls having skied all day don’t have shimmery cheeks.

       

A similarly matching lipstick – you are looking for a real colour pop in a juicy pinky/red colour and a nice creamy but shiny finish.  I like Clarins “Joli Rouge” Lipstick in Poppy Red, NARS  Rouge Basque or Scarlet i-pout by NewCID.

Keep eyes really simple – a nude base colour and clear or brown mascara.  M.A.C’s Yoghurt is my favourite base colour and you may have to hunt for a mascara as everything is about massive lashes at the moment – it shouldn’t do this look any harm to have prominent eyelashes but there’s so much colour on the cheek and lip it’s best to dial down as much as you can on the eye area.  I suggest Clarins Instant Definition in Brown.

For the base – a good BB cream should create a natural look – try Bobbi Brown’s new SPF 35 BB Cream.  Perfect for wearing on or off the slopes!
