If you've been silently lusting after Laura's Love Island make-up looks for the past few days, then THIS is the make-up tutorial to watch. Here's what goes down. (Watch the full one on Laura's Instagram page here).

The Blush

Laura kicks off by picking up ICONIC London's Sheer Blush in Powder Pink, £18, and stating that she's a huge fan of the brand because it's cruelty free. Laura also mentions she sticks mainly to cream blushers because she loves the dewy look, and mentions that they also sit on her skin better when it's sunny, as opposed to powders. There's a pre-holiday tip for you people! She applies three dots to the outer side of each cheek and gently pats in with her fingers, blending upwards.

The Highlighter

ICONIC London is famed for its liquid highlighter, so it's no wonder that this ended up being Laura's illuminator of choice. She uses ICONIC London's Illuminator in Original, £30, and implements her three dot technique once more, placing it slightly higher on her cheekbones than her blushed, and blending upward to her temples. She then adds a very small dot (a little goes a long way with this highlighter) to her cupids bow, her chin, the tip of her nose, and underneath the arch of her brow, from a subtle, lit from within glow.

The Brows

Laura waxes lyrical about brushed up brows, so it's fair to say that ICONIC London's Brow Silk, £16, is an essential component in her beauty arsenal. You get a dinky little compact of translucent formula along with a rose gold toothbrush like brush for your brows in the set, and Laura shows you how to go to town, brushing them firmly up (wetting the brush first apparently gives you even more hold), before brushing the outer ends of your brows out to the sides to sleeken them up a tad. Duly noted Laura.
