Make Up Break Down - Alexa Chung

Alexa Chungs face looks like perfection in this photo! Her make up is flawless and this is how i think make up should look, completley effortless, clean and pretty! She clearly has great skin to start off with, which she has topped off with a sheer foundation to even it out such as Laura Mercier Mineral Powder £30.00 , under the eyes and any other imperfections i would use M.A.C select moisturecover concealer. Fill gaps in brows very lightly brushing the hairs gently upwards with a shadow which matches your hair and skintone. From what i can see it looks like Alexa only has eyeliner on,i think however she has a base shadow on as well. On the lid i would apply Haux by M.A.C  with a very light hand and blend until faded to nothing upto the crease being careful not to go over at all, i would then use Shadowy Lady by M.A.C as a liner very close to the lash line and wing it out slightley at the outer corners of my eyes, i would also  then take some of this shadow under the eyes and apply it very closley to the bottom lash line and blend slightly for a faded effect. In the inner corners of the eyes i would apply Benefit Eye Bright i would also line the inner rims of  the eyes with this. For an extra lift i would dot a bit on the brow bone for a slight highlight. Then curl lashes and apply a few coats of a legnthening mascara such as Yves Saint Laurent Volume Effet Faux Cils Luxurious Mascara in black. On the the cheeks i think a semi matte blush would look best and most natural, i would reccomend using Bloom Sheer Colour Cream in Coy on the apples of the cheeks and blending very slightly onto the cheekbones upwards towards the hairline. Alexa looks as though she is wearing nothing what so ever on her lips,I would dab some Bobbi Tinted Lip Balm Bronzed Pink(09) on to the lips.
