INDIE STAR

Apply a few coats of black mascara first on curled lashes, then fill in the gaps on upper and lower lash lines with this versatile, intense hue. Smudge for even more drama. Burberry Beauty Effortless Kohl in Poppy Black, RM78

HEAVY METAL

MAC’s Magnetic Nudes are all about enhancing that winter glow. Drop the brush; take this shade by the finger and blend. MAC Extra Dimension Eye Shadow in Silver Dawn, RM85
