Ever since she hit our screen in Love Island this summer, we’ve known Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu was a beauty icon, but she seems to be stepping up her game even more ahead of her debut on Dancing on Ice.
Ekin-Su shared a set of photos on her Instagram account including this stunning behind-the-scenes shot of her glammed up for ITV’s Palooza red carpet event. Embracing the Dancing on Ice bling, she wore a glittering dress adorned with shards of mirrors. But it’s the hair and makeup that’s really got her fans talking, with several comparing her sleek look to Kim Kardashian.
“I have to do a double take sometimes, you and KK could be sisters at first glance” said one fan. Another joked, “I thought you were @kimkardashian when I saw your wee photo”.
The gorgeous shot was also shared by Ekin-Su’s hairstylist Carl Bembridge and makeup artist, Krystal Dawn , who has very kindly revealed all the key products to recreate the look yourself. Included are a set of lashes created in collaboration with Ekin herself, for B Perfect Cosmetics. The lashes aren’t available yet, but they’re launching this month so keep an eye on this space if you’re keen to get hold of them yourself.
The flawless skin is also thanks to B Perfect Cosmetics and it’s an absolute bargain – head over to their site now for 40% off for the Black Friday sale. The Chroma Cover Foundation worn by Ekin-Su is usually £19.95 but it’s now only £13.97 here .
To make those cheekbones really pop Krystal says she used Nudestix Nudies Matte Blush Stick in Nude Peach, £29.18 here , and the complexion was completed with Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish, £36 here .
Finally those lush lips were lined with a Huda Beauty Lip Pencil in Warm Brown, £17 here , and filled in with a classic nude shade: MAC Cosmetics Matte Lipstick in Kinda Sexy, £16 here . Ekin was obviously thrilled with the look, because she commented “Oh hi best friend” on Krystal’s post.
The Love Islander also included a seriously cute photo of herself looking relaxed and happy with boyfriend Davide. The pair sparked engagement rumours earlier this month with a picture of them kissing on a holiday in Dubai, but Davide has confirmed there is no ring as yet, though things are “going well”.
“No engagement. But we actually are getting closer and closer and we haven’t had a fight since we’ve left the villa,” he said.
