14 DAY TRIAL // Cameron Diaz is definitely one of America's favorite (superstar) sweethearts. Her charming, good-natured smile and bubbly personality have made this lovable actress a permanent favorite with audiences and magazine editors alike. However, given that we usually see Cameron posing as the sweet girl next door in the latest box office hit romantic comedy, some of us forgot that there's a glamorous side to her that cannot be denied. Indeed, with the right amount of care, Cameron can easily turn the page and become a fully fledged screen siren - and she showed off that particular side when she posed for the British version of GQ magazine, sporting a dazzling, golden complexion and matching golden-bronze skin.
For those of you wondering just how to best combine various make-up and skin care products to achieve that healthy golden look, the people at WeLoveBeauty sat down with Jake Bailey, the makeup artist and mastermind behind Cameron's glam poolside look. As a result, we now know exactly what succession of steps and what types of products to use in order to try and achieve Cameron's look of pure sun-kissed beauty. So, without further ado, here's what to do in order to get the Cameron face.
1. Use a mineral makeup foundation in your own skin tone on your entire face.
2. If you're using a body self-tanner, it's extremely important to avoid making one of the biggest make-up blunders out there and mismatch the tones on your face to the rest of your skin. Bailey used a loose powder bronzer called Color Genius Bronzing powder from Max Factor all over Cameron's body, and applied the same powder to her face, specifically on the ridge of her nose and along the cheekbones in order to bring dimension to her face.
3. On Cameron's eyes, Bailey used a metallic gold eyeshadow combined with two coats of a new mascara from Max Factor, called Vivid Impact Highlighting Mascara. The double-ended tube has a base coat of Lash Perfection Mascara on one end and a high-pigmented mascara on the other end to highlight the lashes. Jake used the Karat Brown shade that mixes shades of copper and gold. Finally, he added an extra coat of black mascara to Cameron's upper lashes.
4. An added tip is the use of a brow pencil that is designed specifically for blonds - the VanityMark Brow Pencil in Blondest from Brett Freedman. If your hair is a different shade of blond than Cameron's or you're simply not blond, it's best not to use a brow pencil.
5. Finally, the lip gloss. For Cameron, Bailey used a rich red shade of Lip Stain Gloss, but any long wearing matte lip color gloss will do, as long as you feel comfortable wearing it and your lips stay hydrated. There you are - all ready to go. So, what are you waiting for?
