Modelled perfectly by Jennifer Lawrence at the Oscars, nothing says girlie and gorgeous like soft shimmery make-up.
Celebrity make-up artist, Aimee Adams shows us how to get the look in five simple steps.
Step 1 – Get skin glowing
To get a glowing complexion start by lightly exfoliating. This will scrub away dry or flaky patches and it will encourage blood to the surface to the skin for a pink glow. Finish by pressing a light moisturiser onto skin.

Step 2 – Master a dewy complexion
A primer is a must to fill in any pores or fine lines. Use fingers to apply all over your face to create a smooth surface.. They contain pearls ingredients that reflect
light off the skin, rather than absorb in, to give skin a dewy look.

Step 3 – Fake a flush
Go for naturally flushed rather than obviously blushed cheeks. A cream or mousse blusher works best, as you blend the colour with fingers to make it look natural.
Powder sits on top of skin and looks flat. Dot colour on the centre of cheeks apples and blend it towards your hairline. Next, sweep a highlighter along the cheekbone.

Step 4 - Do retro flicks
Keep eyes very simple. Use a nude toned eye shadow all over the lid for a uniform base and to stop eyeliner from creasing into your socket.
Then apply liquid eyeliner along lash lines creating mini flicks at the ends. This look doesn’t demand mascara but if you can’t live without it then apply a coat, or two!
