Get the celebrity look
It's more than seven years since Myleene Klass first shot to fame in Popstars - and her life has changed considerably since those early days of Hear'Say. Now a doting mum to nine-month-old Ava, Myleene has become one of the UK's most sought-after TV presenters, thanks to her combination of stunning looks, boundless energy and her easy-going, down-to-earth nature.
So how does she make the most of her natural beauty? “Myleene is blessed with an enviable olive complexion which gives her a head start,” says celebrity make-up artist Jane Bradley. “But to get her skin looking great, she probably evens it out with a touch of sheer foundation.” Try Becca's Luminous Skin Colour (£33; www.beccacosmetics.com).
“Myleene uses a crème blush in a warm apricot/peach shade to give a fresh dewy look to the apples of her cheeks,” Jane continues. For extra sheen, try swiping a little of Daniel Sandler's Watercolour Blush in Icing (£11; www.danielsandler.co.uk for stockists) across the cheekbones.
“As Myleene has a quite pronounced bone structure, she doesn't need to wear lots of eye make-up,” Jane explains. “She defines her eyes by using black or brown liner on both the upper and lower lids, making sure the lower line only comes about halfway across the eye before blending it in. Her brows are plucked into a perfect arc, then kept in place using a clear brow gel.”
And finally, Myleene is rarely seen without lip gloss. “She favours warm peach, coral and tawny shades that not only complement her skin tone but also add to her overall glowing vitality,” says Jane. “At this time of year, when your skin is - hopefully - lightly tanned, you'll find you need less make-up to make an impact like Myleene. Experiment with vibrant lip colours to keep yourself on trend and bring instant life and light to your face.”
