Scarlet Fever

A perennial classic, the red lip never goes out of style. Make-up Artist Tips: Start with applying foundation over the lips to create an even shade of red throughout. Draw the outline with the lip pencil to balance symmetry and prevent bleeding. Then, gently blend the pencil towards the inside to help it merge with the lipstick Always apply 2 layers with red. First the base coat, and then using a tissue, gently dab the lips to remove excess oil before applying a second layer. Balance the drama of the red with a nude eye. Start with a nude base shadow, and then work on creating perfect eye symmetry with a liner. Start from the corner with the eye open and then smoothen the flick with a cotton bud. For the lashes, coat both the top and bottom create more volume. Prevent clumping by applying mascara in a zig-zag movement. Always keep a dried-out mascara brush to comb through lashes to separate.

High Shine

Grown-up glitter to keep you shining all night long. Make-up artist’s tips: Prime your eye with a primer or an eyeshadow base to allow the glitter to stick to the skin better. When using glitter, use two different shades: A darker on the whole eyelid, and all the way up to the eyebrow, and then a lighter shade at the inner corner to intensify the eye shape. Always apply eye make-up first as glitter can drop onto the rest of the face. If you get glitter on the eyelashes, use an oil-free makeup remover with a cotton bud to carefully remove it. Keep the rest of the face natural, to allow the eyes to shine. For the lip, sculpt the shape with a nude pencil and then balance the shine with a clear or nude gloss.

Golden Hour

Get set to glow all night long. Make-up Artist Tips: Keep your eyelids oil-free, dab or wipe with a tissue to remove excess oils, which will make the eyeshadow crease. Apply high-shine powders with your finger rather than a brush. These shadows tend to drop, so this will reduce the amount that spills over the cheek area. This will make the shadows very pigmented, and concentrated, giving you maximum impact. Balance the look with a nude lip. Just remember to hydrate & moisturize your lips first. Apply the highlighter on the highest points of the face: Cheekbones, chin and nose. If using a cream, dab on using your fingers, to ensure that it doesn’t blend in.
