Imagine the scene – You are curled up on the sofa watching the climactic moment of a rom-com where the leading actress is finally about to passionately kiss her leading man for the very first time. Your thoughts run away with just how that might feel to be her, yet at the back of your mind there is that burning question…"I wonder what lipstick she is wearing".
More than ever, the cliché of us all being obsessed with celebrities is true – they are featured what seems to be everywhere, and we are the ones demanding to know the details. So here is that detail for you with a look at what products some of the A-listers actually use.
KIM KARDASHIAN:
Whether she is shopping, filming for her reality TV show or walking the red carpet Kim Kardashian's look is never anything but flawless. With perfectly bronzed skin, fluttering eyelashes, and nude lips she is definitely a makeup icon for many. To create her flawless complexion Kim likes to use either Makeup Forever HD Invisible foundation or Nars Sheer Matte foundation. However a lot of work goes in to contouring, and highlighting with products such as Nars Laguna Bronzer and Ben Nye's Banana Powder. To finish off the base, one of Kim's favourite blushers is a MAC cream colour base in Fabulush. For the eyes, Kim likes to layer various mascaras for a dramatic look, her favourite combination being Zoom by MAC and Lancome Hypnose mascara. Kim is hardly ever without a glossy nude lip using MAC Angel lipstick with Nars Turkish Delight lipgloss to complete her look.
JENNIFER ANISTON:
Jennifer Aniston's look is what you would call the 'no make-up' look. She has somehow managed to avoid the ageing process, and still gives off that girl next door vibe. Jennifer's makeup is quite minimal. To create her golden glow, her foundation of choice is Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua along with St. Tropez Skin Illuminator along the cheekbones. For a natural flush of colour, likes to use Bobbi Brown Sheer Colour Cheek Tint. She swears by Dr. Hauschka's Rose Day Cream for ultra radiant skin.
ADELE:
Adele has certainly perfected her look in recent years, and now has her retro glam look down to a tee with her signature feline eyes and perfectly contoured yet porcelain skin. To create that perfect base, Adele loves to apply Elemis Pro-Collagen face cream and then MAC Studio Careblend pressed powder with Bobbi Brown bronzer in Bahamas to subtly contour the face. For the eyes, Adele is all about liquid eyeliner with MAC Liquidlast Liner in Point Blackand without fail finishes off with a pair of false lashes by Shu Uemura or MAC.
KATY PERRY:
Katy Perry's makeup is just like her music – flirty, and playful with her signature look focusing on her doe eyes, and vibrant lips. For her now flawless skin Katy relies on the aid of Proactiv skincare (which she is also the face of) along with Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage concealer. She also loves Benefit's Benetint cheek stain for a rosy glow. As for the lips, she opts for either Nars Schiap or MAC Girl About Town.
LAUREN CONRAD:
Lauran Conrad is known for her polished beachy glow, with a combination of bronzed skin, and winged eyeliner that can so easily be taken in to the night time with a dramatic red lip. To create that dewy glow, Lauren uses Sensai by Kanebo Fluid Finish foundation along with Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage concealer, finishing off a with loose powder by Chanel. For a flush of colour to the cheeks, Lauren is a fan of Nars blush in Amour, and opts for Dior Smoothing Plumping Lip balm during the day. To pull her look together for red carpet events, she likes to wear a statement lip with Dior Addict lipstick in Fire.
