The London Look



Love the sultry look of British fashion icon, Kate Moss?  VIVA chats to the Rimmel Insiders to get the scoop on how to recreate her best make up looks





How can you get a untraceable coverage when covering individual spots?To conceal dark marks and blemishes use a creamy concealer stick and make sure you choose a concealer that is either the same shade or a shade lighter than your foundation.  Lightly apply your concealer directly to the affected area using a concealer brush and then use your fingers to lightly pat and blend it into the surrounding skin.  We love Rimmel Hide as it gives the ultimate coverage!


How would she go about achieving a luminous, flawless skin through make-up?
Applying a primer to clean moisturized skin will not only help your make up stay in place for longer, it will also smooth away fine lines and give the skin a radiant glow and control excessive shine. A good foundation such as Rimmel Stay Matte is the perfect base for this look, reawakening and illuminating your skin with a soft radiant glow, and its vitamin moisturizing complex leaves you looking healthy and fresh with a natural flawless looking complexion.

What is the trick to pulling off a nude lip?
Peach and pink tone nude lip shades are the most flattering to wear and make lips appear fresh and youthful. You should always select a nude lip colour that is either a shade darker or shade lighter than your skin tone to prevent looking washed out. Not only is a nude lip very wearable, it’s a great way to make lips appear full and healthy.  For a fashion forward look opt for a flesh toned matter or chalky lip to stand out in the fashion crowd!  Pair a nude lip with a gorgeous smokey eye to transform your look from day to night. 


Explain why red lipstick is such a massive trend this season?

A statement lip in vibrant red is a key trend this season and we’ve seen it go from the catwalk to celebrities, keeping the trend alive.  You instantly associate the red lip with glamour and beauty such as Marilyn Monroe and other icons from the past. 

How can you apply liquid liner without making a mess and getting wonky lines?

A precise felt tip makes application so much easier giving you much more control such as Rimmel Scandal Eyes Thick & Thins.  Start by applying a very thin line from the inner corner of the eye and gradually increase the thickness of the line as you sweep out past the outer corner.  Remember you want those feline eyes so keep the flick lifted at the end and always make sure you work the liner right into to the root of the lashes, keeping the shape clean and precise. Any mistake or slip is easily cleaned up with a cotton bud soaked in facial cleanser!

What are the benefits of using coloured eyeliner compared to bog standard black?
Black eyeliner can be quite harsh while coloured eyeliners are great as they are softer and can compliment or contrast with your eyeshadow or eye colour. Opt for a brown or grey which are both wearable and give maximum effect. Bright eyeliners such as purple and green can be fun to experiment with and are great in the summer months to liven up your look. Try Rimmel’s Exaggorate Waterproof Eye Definer or Scandaleyes eyeliners for a fresh new look.
