So Nicole Pussycat has dropped her first solo single ( which is about as surprising as Beyonce, or Diana Ross or Justin Timberlake, or Fergie doing it) and I don’t love it, and the clip is sleazy and unneccessarily focused on her writhing, grinding body in small amounts of lycra miscast as clothing, but I must commend Nic on the lovely golden gleam she sports throughout. You can catch this without watching more than a minutre of the clip, and I urge you to, because it’s lovely.

I’m guessing it’s some form or sheer creme illuminator (like Chanels) or even a liquid one (like Becca’s) mixed with M.A.C Face and Body and generously applied all over the body and face. And then more added to the face so that all of her ‘mountains’ (cheekbones, brow bones – areas of the face that jut out and catch light basically) glimmer deliciously.

For a real life take on it, wait until night time, and then apply an illuminator suited to your skin tone (pale needs more pearlised; olive and dark more golden) mixed with your foundation all over, and then apply a creme gold or pearl eyeshadow over your lid, add some more illuminator on your cheekbone, and go to town on gloss. You’ll glimmer like some form of high fashion editorial minx, promise. (Nic is spot on with the hair back like that – it allows us to see her glowing, sexy face shape even more.)

Helps that she’s beautiful and toned and half Hawaiian, sure, but what the world would be like if we couldn’t look to the overly groomed and stupidly hot for makeup inspiration occasionally?
