Mila Kunis was rocking a vixen look at last weeks Oscars – dark eyes, creamy skin and nude lips works every time. Here’s how you can do it at home.

Start with Primer. Use something with a warm golden tone to it like Smashbox “Photo Finish Luminizing Primer”. One pump will do it, I liketo concentrate on the outer rim of the face, cheekbones and temples, to give a halo effect on the face. This gives a beautiful and believable definition to the face,

Use Laura Merciers “Oil Free Tinted Moisturiser”, it looks dewy but controls excess oil as the day/night wears on and gives amazing coverage.

Cheeks need a soft pinky brown cream based colour. I like Max Factors “Miracle Touch Creamy Blush” in Soft Murano. Use you fingers to gently (being the operative word) dab and blend on to the outer apples of the cheek.

Take the expense and headache out of finding the perfect collection of shadows for this look. Smashbox has done it for you, “In Bloom Eye Palette” is a divine collection of matte and shimmer neutrals and earthy midtones. You can use your artistic license here, just make sure you use a pale colour all over, a medium tone on the lid and take the darkest shadow along the top of the lashline and fill it out and slightly upwards to create a feline shape.

If your eye doesn’t naturally lend itself to this shape, cheat it in by taking the shadow in a thinish line right the way down to the tear duct and finish to a point. Once you have the shape, go over and emphasis it with their “Cream Eyeliner in Caviar” and add a little sex to the look by lining the lower lid, just underneath the lashes. Curl the lashes twice and apply two coats of Estee Lauders Sumptuous Extreme mascara (a current staple in my personal make up bag)

Finish with a neutral lipstick such as Estee Lauders amazing (and let me tell you, bulletproof) “Double Wear Lipstick in Stay Magnolia”. Et Voila!
