Colour craze versus near nude

Model Maria Borges goes bold…

Bright eyes

To get this striking look, run an aqua blue pencil, like [1] NYX Professional Makeup Extreme Slide On Pencil in Azure (R129.95), along your waterline. Next step: dust shimmery turquoise shadow onto your lids (the more pigmented the colour the better). We like the [2] Urban Decay After Dark Palette (R850). Build the colour up above your crease, blending gently as you go.

Sculpted cheeks

Do a little subtle contouring to make the most of your features: apply a highlighter to your cheekbones and then lightly swipe a darker shade below them. Blend well with your fingertips for a natural result. TRY [3] Black|up Contouring Stick (R565).

Rosy lips

Go easy on the lip colour when eye makeup is bold! A great way to get pretty and nourishing lips at the same time: [4] Elizabeth Arden Sheer Kiss Lip Oil in Heavenly Rose (R295).
