SMART THINKING

There’s no time like the present to embrace bold and beautiful colours.

There’s no time like winter to embrace bold and beautiful colours in your make-up look.

The cooler season is the perfect time to get playful with more dramatic shades of colour. While dark, merlot-inspired lipsticks and glosses often make an appearance when the temperature drops, winter is also the season to embrace some truly dazzling shades of eyeshadow.

Rather than teaming a daring hue of lip colour with a vibrant shade of eyeshadow, opt to focus only on the eyes and pare your lip colour right back. The softest hint of pink gloss or a natural lip balm will do the trick when you’re letting your eyeshadow do the talking. Sparkling metallic shades and glitter-based formulations will create an unforgettable look that will ensure you’re the belle of any winter balls that are on your calendar. Just remember to keep experimenting – beauty is supposed to be fun, and at the end of the day, all it takes is a swipe of make-up remover to take off your look and start again.
