THE BEST DEFENCE
Runway-ready makeup begins with
the skin, so ensuring yours is healthy,
plumped and supple will mean you
have the best possible base on which
to build a look around. Products that
improve firmness and hydration
will help make your skin the perfect
canvas, and right now we’re loving the
ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream,
which uses Mediterranean algae and
ginkgo biloba to protect skin and boost
circulation. By encouraging collagen
production and maintaining skin tone,
Marine Cream keeps the skin hydrated
and fights wrinkles, serving as a perfect
base for crease-free, long-wearing makeup.
BOLD & BRIGHT
Mixing up your look can be incredibly
simple, especially if you’re prepared to
go for something a little bold. Adding
block colour to the eye, particularly in a
geometric form, adds not only a muchneeded
burst of springtime colour, but
also a sculptural, contemporary element
to your makeup.
Drawing attention to the brow bone
with a slash of Tiffany blue or turquoise
is a youthful, playful way to celebrate
colour and add an editorial flair, and
while it has a definite high-fashion feel,
it could transition well into summer
festival looks.
FELINE FLAIR
Complementing this is the idea of an
emboldened feline eye, which serves
to accentuate your natural eye shape
while adding a sophisticated edge.
To achieve this look, press dark
colour onto the lid, hugging and
extending the lash line for that elegant
cateye look. From here, turn the
demure classic into something sleek
and modern by gently buffing out the
dark colour and pulling it closer to the
corner of the eye, being sure to keep it
angular and bold. Couple with a leather
jacket and gold hardware to take this
look to the next level.
Pair either of these looks with a
neutral lip colour to keep the emphasis
on the eyes and brows.
