For me, there's one celebrity that's really delivering when it comes to amazing beauty recommendations right now—and that's Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. The model and beauty wiz has been taking to Instagram and her beauty website Rose Inc. regularly to reveal everything from how to do her trademark "basic" bun hairstyle to the products she's packing for her holiday. I've got two words for you, Rosie: Thank you. This week, she's making the most of the British heatwave by sharing her favourite summer night out makeup look and all the products that she uses to create it.
As we'd expect from Rosie, the look is ultra-glowy with plenty of shimmer and bronze to create a sun-kissed look. However, the star of the show has to be her smoky eyes which—in a summer twist—Rosie has coined "sunset eyes." Dreamy.
Keep scrolling to shop all of the products that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley uses for her go-to summer night-out makeup look. I want it all.

Prevention+ Daily Ultimate Protection Moisturizer
"I do love this suncream because it really works as an SPF, of course, but also as a great moisturiser and a great base for makeup," Rosie explained.
Lanolips
Banana Balm Lip Sheen 3-in-1
"I always like to put lip balm on before I've started my makeup so it has a little bit of time to sink in," Rosie explained. "It smells amazing. I'm obsessed with this, and it also looks really beautiful on its own."
Giorgio Armani
Luminous Silk Foundation
"I love this because it does exactly what it says on the tin—it gives you luminous, silky-looking skin," said Rosie.
Beautyblender
Pro in Black
To get a light, summery finish, Rosie uses a Beautyblender to apply her foundation: "It's really good to run them under water to get them a little bit damp," said Rosie. "I've found when you're applying foundation, it just smooths it out a little bit more."
To create her shimmering eye look, Rosie applies the gold shade (top right) all over her eyelids and then uses the bronze colour (bottom right) to define her lash line. She finishes the look by applying the pearlescent pink shade (top left) to the inner corners of her eyes and running a little of the deep burgundy colour (bottom right) through the creases.
Chanel
Retractable Dual-Tip Eye Shadow Brush
"I like to apply the eye shadow with the flat brush on one side," explained Rosie. "Then I use the big fluffy brush to blend."
It Cosmetics
Heavenly Luxe Complexion Perfection Brush #7
Rosie uses the small brush on this dual-ended tool to blend out her eye shadow for a soft, smoky finish.

Length Infinity Mascara
"I'm going to use the lengthening mascara first to build length," explained Rosie. "It really does separate the lashes beautifully."
Once dry, Rosie then applies a layer of this lash-boosting formula to add volume.
Tweezerman
Folding Ilashcomb
For a really fluttery eye look, Rosie lightly flicks this comb through her lashes to separate each individual lash.
Surratt Beauty
Artistique Blush
I love Surratt Beauty palettes. You buy the palette empty and then select the specific shades that you want to fill it with so you have a personalised palette. Rosie built her own to create a "summery, beachy, bronze-y look."
Rosie uses the same brush to apply bronzer to her cheekbones and temples, and then a pink blusher to the apples of her cheeks.
Kevyn Aucoin
The Glass Glow Face and Body Illuminator in Prism Rose
"A tiny little bit of this goes a long way," said Rosie. She applies it using her fingertips to the tops of her cheekbones and builds it up until she gets the desired amount of radiance.
Nars
Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugein
Rosie describes this as "a pretty, easy to wear colour with a lovely sheen to it." She then tops it with a lip gloss for "a little fun."
Hourglass
Veil Translucent Setting Powder
For her final step, Rosie uses an angled brush to apply translucent powder to her T-zone to reduce unwanted shine.
