Makeup guide: Lauren Luke's steel blue eyes

Lauren Luke: Lauren Luke applies eye shadow
We're looking for a real sheen, so I've started with a tiny dab of Vaseline smoothed over the eyelids - it helps the shadow last and gives it a much stronger colour. I've used L'Oreal's Magnetic steel blue shadow and gently dabbed it on to the lid with an eyeshadow brush. Photograph: Hong Gyoung Tae
Lauren Luke: Lauren Luke applies eye liner
Now apply a line under the lashes - I've used Urban Decay's Glide-On eyeliner in Bourbon, which has a hint of gold. Start at the outer corner of the eye and work inwards, making sure the line is finer as you reach the middle - use your finger to blend in. Photograph: Hong Gyoung Tae
Lauren Luke: Lauren Luke applies blusher
Blusher should be light, so I've mixed Mac's Dollymix with their white highlighting powder for a pearlescent shine. Brush on to the apple of your cheeks with a large blusher brush and work out towards the hairline. Photograph: Hong Gyoung Tae
Lauren Luke: Lauren Luke applies lipstick
Lips should look natural - nothing too bold to detract from the eyes. Trace the lip line with a subtle pink - Estee Lauder's Pink Writer is a nice shade . Fill in, then finish with a light layer of gloss, or another dab of Vaseline. Lauren Luke's make-up tutorials, filmed in her bedroom in South Shields, have attracted more than 47 million hits on YouTube (youtube.com/user/panacea81). Photograph: Hong Gyoung Tae
