1. Get the look: Christina Hendricks
The gorgeous redhead best known for her role of secretary Joan Harris in Mad Men, oozes sex appeal with her sultry eyes and lips. The star keeps her makeup fresh, with sheer red lips and soft shimmery metal-coloured shadows. Her base is always light and dewy with lightly flushed rosey cheeks.

4. Face powder
Apply a very light veil of powder all over the face, avoiding the cheeks as you'll be using a cream blusher on this area and want to avoid caking. Daniel Sandler Invisible Blotting Pressed Powder is colourless and perfect for blotting away shine whilst keeping the face dewy. £14.80

Swipe a bronze eyeshadow over the eyelid and along the bottom lash line. Bourjois Little Round Pot in 93 Sculpteur is a long-lasting shimmery shade that looks gorgeous on blue and green eyes. £6.49

8. Cream blusher
For fresh, glowing, pink cheeks dab a little cream blusher to the apple of your cheeks, blending as you move your fingers outwards towards your hairline. Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Promise is perfect for this look: a warm light pink with a dewy finish. £16.50

9. Moisturising Lip Colour
For this look, opt for a moisturising sheer lip colour instead of a full coverage matt one. Clinique Chunky Cherry Chubby Stick Moisturising Colour Lip Balm draws sheer but lasting colour onto lips like a pencil and the finish is satin-like. £15
