MAXIMUM EXPOSURE Bright, bold and even fluorescent, the best way to boost your creativity – and your mood – is via a kaleidoscope of unapologetic hues. This season, eyes are in focus.
LIFE AQUATIC
It may seem counterintuitive, but if you want to take aqua eyeshadow out of 80s territory, opt for a metallic finish and asymmetric application (make-up artist Violette used a paintbrush). Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Stellar Eye Shadow in 1, $59.
COLOUR CHAMELEON
Fuchsia, marigold and purple matt powders make a convincing case for colours that clash in the most eye-catching way. Make Up For Ever Artist Color Shadow in M-402, M-853 and M-924, $23 each.
SUNNY SIDE UP
If make-up is mood-altering, then a feathering of yellow eyeshadow – applied in a couple of simple sweeps – is bound to evoke a smile.
M.A.C Eyeshadow in Chrome Yellow, $29.
OUT OF THE BLUE
While make-up artists are known to combine a handful of hues, dialling up or own a single colour can be just as impactful.
Sephora Collection Medium Shopping Bag Makeup Palette, $36.
TO THE LIMIT
Push the parameters of vibrant eyeshadow by not only mixing shades, but interesting shapes and negative space, too.
Dior Diorshow 5 Couleurs in Dive, $107. M.A.C Powder Kiss Eye Shadow in Lens Blur, $29.
