SET THE TREND
Steal the hottest looks straight off the runway with Sir John x WBeauty’s collection of makeup essentials that are right on trend
Take inspiration from runway trends but still make them your own with the new Sir John x WBeauty Volume 1 limited edition makeup collection, exclusive to Woolworths, that makes it easy to recreate runway-ready looks.
TREND: SPOTLIGHT EYES
Global makeup artist, Sir John, is famous for his signature spotlight eye that always has punchy colour and a touch of sparkle. You can achieve this look with his quick guide: “Volume 1 is all about having prismatic and spotlight eyes that have a light-reflective lustre. Make sure you use eye kohl underneath your shimmery shadows. If you use the bronze eye shadow from the palette, try using purple eye kohl on your lids then smudging it in and adding your eyeshadow on top. This anchors all the shadows and prevents fallout on your lashes,” says Sir John. Finish off the look by tapping in one of the four liquid shimmer eye shadows that contain Mica, an ethically-sourced mineral ingredient to give a multidimensional glittery effect to the balls of the eyelids or inner corners of the eyes.
TREND: POWER POUT
Sir John is a self-professed lover of eyes but has been slowly introduced to the power of a statement lip by his celebrity clients, Beyoncé and Priyanka Chopra. Turn to a bold lip and glowing skin for the ultimate low-maintenance makeup look. The Sir John x WBeauty Volume 1 liquid matte lipstick in a universal pink shade, is the perfect essential for this. Pair with a flawless complexion achieved by tapping the illuminator stick onto the high planes of the face.
Want to try a tip from Sir John on how to maximise the illuminating stick? If you have a darker skin tone, use the stick on the highest points of the face to illuminate the skin. It you have a fairer skin tone, go lower with the placement of the stick — above the hollows of the cheeks to give the skin a more bronzed-up glow. Then complete the look with some of the illuminating stick tapped onto the eyelids as a luminous alternative to eyeshadow.
