Natalie adds the Medium Tan shade to the naturally lighter areas of the face, blending into the Dark Deepest. 'This adds a velvet finish to the skin and sets the foundation. Next, she uses the M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder in Dark Deepest to add warmth and colour back into her complexion.

She uses a contour brush to apply the product just under the curve of her cheekbone and jawline and then switches to the M.A.C 224 Brush to contour the sides of her nose, allowing the brush to hug the natural curve of her nose. Natalie's top tip: contour with a tone 2 shades darker than your natural skin tone to add depth and definition. Natalie adds further definition and enhances her natural bone structure using the M.A.C Studio Fix Sculpt and Shape Contour Palette in Medium Dark.

I use two shades of the same concealer, one with more of a warm undertone to even out my skin before foundation and one to brighten my under eyes so I use the same tone of my foundation which is cool toned but just a couple of shades lighter'. 'Concealers can be used to highlight, and to correct and conceal think about what you want to achieve and which undertones will best help you to do so. Going back in with her M.A.C Studio Fix 24-Hour Smooth Wear Concealer in shade NC35, Natalie adds more definition to her under eyes, sides and bridge of the nose, above the mouth and just under the cheekbones. A minimum of 3 swatches of the same product allows you to see the shade and/or coverage you prefer most'.

When testing your makeup, she encourages to 'swatch your products in different zones of the face to see which areas they most flatter buff and blend your swatches as products can often set to a different colour than they appear in the bottle. If they're mostly blue or purple, you are likely to have cool undertones, if they match the colour of your skin, they're probably neutral or if they're mostly green, then you are likely to have warm undertones. When it comes to choosing the right shade for you, Natalie advises to first identify your undertones by identifying what colour your veins are. With 67 shades, Natalie loves this foundation for a seamless, natural look no matter what your skin tone. She starts at the centre of her face, blending the foundation outwards to avoid any unwanted lines. She then applies her M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Foundation in shade C8 using the M.A.C 170s Foundation Brush. Natalie first applies the M.A.C Studio Fix 24-Hour Smooth Wear Concealer in shade NW35 to her under eyes, sides of the nose and above the lip, pressing the product in with her fingertips to create a natural-looking contoured effect from under her foundation and colour correcting any uneven areas.
