Create a natural look without spending big

It’s bonus time at clinique.com.au, and you honestly couldn’t get a better deal than this: spend $60 or more on your favourite Clinique products online, and you’ll receive this amazing bonus gift for free:

That’s seven pieces of Clinique goodness that hasn’t cost you anything extra and contains the essential items for a no-fuss, yet utterly beautiful make-up look. Just like Lily Collins’ gorgeously glowing natural make-up look, for example. Here’s how you can recreate it using all the products in your Clinique bonus gift…

Start with a good base

Good make-up starts with good skin, and that’s where the 7 Day Scrub Rinse-Off Formula, Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ and All About Eyes Rich fit in. Using these three skin care essentials on a daily basis will ensure dead cells are sloughed away, your face is well hydrated, and your eyes are nourished and bright. All of which will equal a clean, soft and radiant base for your make-up.

Add a flushed finish

Once you’ve applied your foundation, take the Blushing Blush compact in Iced Lotus and lightly dust some of the powder on the apples of your cheeks. Tip: smile! This will help accentuate the apples of your cheeks and make it easier for you to know where to apply the blush. Keep in mind that Lily’s look requires just a touch of colour, so start small and build the colour gradually if need be.

Lengthen those lashes

Taking the High Lengths Mascara in Black, coat both your top and bottom lashes. I’d recommend two coats to really get that defined look. Oh, and don't forget to curl your lashes before applying the mascara - it'll help widen your eyes and give your lashes that extra lusciousness!

Hint: If you love Lily’s blue liner, try Clinique Quickliner for Eyes in Blue Grey. Simply use the eyeliner to follow your top lash line (starting just before the inner corner of your eye), extending the colour just beyond the outer corner of your eye to create that winged effect.

And don’t forget your lips!

The Chubby Stick Intense in Plushest Punch is the perfect colour to complement this look. It’s pigmented enough to really stand out without looking like it’s over the top. For a fainter finish, apply one light coat on your lips or, for something a bit punchier, keep layering until you’ve got your ideal shade.

And finally…this great Clinique gift comes with a cute cosmetics bag, too. But head to Clinique.com.au ASAP because it’s a limited edition online offer and you’ll be kicking yourself if you miss out!
