Using an array of budget and high-end beauty products, blogger Nicole Matthews manages to create a flawless look - despite having acne prone skin and dark circles under her eyes.

Follow her step-by-step guide to achieving this high level of coverage, with products named below:

1.) Cetaphil body moistuiser on the face. Nicole says she uses this because it is non-greasy and fast-absorbing, and is just as hypoallergenic as the facial moisturisers.

2.) Next use Benefit Porefessional - a primer that reduces the look of pores and helps keep your make-up in place all day.

3.) Then apply Mac Pro Longwear Foundation - which is long lasting and gives a high level of coverage.

4.) Use the Beautyblender to blend the foundation into your skin. This is a favourite of beauty writers and bloggers everywhere, and is an ideal blending tool.

5.) Afte foundation, Nicole uses Mac Pro Longwear Concealer for under the eyes. Remember to conceal in the magic triangle under the eyes, rather than in a half moon - as this gives a much greater level of coverage.

6.) Favourite of bloggers and the Kardashian sisters, next Nicole uses Anastacia Beverly Hills Contour Kit to highlight and contour.

7.) Finally she uses Mac Careblend Powder with the Sigma Big Powder Brush to set her look.
