For this Kate inspired look I started with Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer in Nude and Loreals N4 concealer. I blended Mocha with a bronzer to create a soft neutral soft plum blush. For the eyes, I started with a soft beige base (I used the lightest shade in the cover girl 'Urban Basics' palette). I then blended MAC's Charcoal Brown and Concrete before applying this shade from the lid into the crease. I lined my eyes with Coffee and blended Brun into the top lashline (I also used Brun on my brows). I had to be a bit creative in inventing a pretty nude-mauvish shade, so I started with Fig lipiner by Estee Lauder and then blended NARS Blonde Venus with MAC's 'Faux' lipstick and applied that shade over the lipliner.
I hope that you've enjoyed my Kate inspired makeup experiements - Its been fun playing around with the neutral shades and I've discovered that I 'love' the Blonde Venus + Faux lipstick combination for the lips!!!
