It's hard to find the words to describe just how gorgeous Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked on the red carpet at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. With her luminous, dewy skin, perfectly brushed-out waves, deep side part and tonal bronze makeup, Miss Huntington-Whiteley looked every bit the natural beauty we all wish we would just so happened to be blessed with in this world. Genetics aside, we're also loving the laidback-but-done look she's working! The best thing is that you can dress it up or dress it down as much as you like. And, we're going to show you just how easy it is to recreate (with a little help from our friends at Primped).


For the deep side part: firstly decide what side you're going to part your hair on. Drawing a straight line from the corner of your eyebrow all the way back to behind the crown, divide and brush hair over to one side.

To achieve Rosie's effortless brushed-out bounce, prep you hair with a sea salt or gloss spray (depending on your desired result). Give your roots a blast with a hairdryer to add some texture and volume.

Using a straightener, create waves and movement by sectioning hair into smaller parts and pulling the iron downwards from the roots at a 90 degree angle. For a looser curl, softly brush them out.

For added volume, backcomb the crown area to create height. Smooth over any fly-aways and spray with hairspray to finish the look. Brad Ngata explains:


Handy tip: flipping your hair over when blasting your roots or using hairspray will help to set your fabulous big do.

For that luminous glowy skin (without the shine, naturally): although not an absolute necessity, primer will help you to achieve Rosie's perfect coverage and prevent oiliness with this look. Apply to freshly cleansed and moisturised skin.

Smooth illuminator onto the raised points of the face, such as the top of the cheekbone, cheek and brow bone avoiding areas prone to shine.

Apply your foundation to the face using a sponge or brush, including the eyelids. Blending your foundation on top of the illuminating liquid will help to bring out the intensity of the product.

To finish, dust a loose translucent powder over the t-zone of your face. Nicola Burford shows you how:


Handy tip: mix a pinch of crushed bronzer powder with your illuminating liquid for a sunkissed glow.

For the tonal bronze makeup: compliment luminous skin with an earthy palette of bronze, brown and gold cream shadows on your eyes. Introducing the traditional smoky eye's softer-spoken little sister, the copper smudged eye.

Brush a medium-toned copper or bronze over the eyelid, blending the shadow up towards the brow line.

Next, add a darker metallic shade to contour the eyes, brushing along the fold of the eye socket. Apply a touch of light gold shadow to the inner v corners to open the eyes.

Finish with your favourite mascara on both top and bottom lashes, and a nude or natural pink lip. Expert Vickie Morris demonstrates:


Handy tip: prime your eyelids as you would the rest of your face to help shadow stay in place longer.
