Beauty – Pastel Make-up
Brighten up your face with coats of dreamy pinks, soft lilacs and sky blues on your eyes and lips. Here’s how to get the look...
GLOWING AND GLOSSY HOW TO Glossy Eyes
1. Create a soft shimmering look by starting with a glossy primer on your eyelids using your fingertips.
2. Dab a liquid, gel or cream shadow to give your eyes a wet, shiny look.
3. Top up the cream eyeshadow with a liquid eyeshadow in a shimmering colour for a gleaming effect.
GRAB A VIBRANT PEACH HOW TO Eye and Cheek Tint
1. Start by applying a pastel peach cream eyeshadow over your eyelids.
2. Using an eye brush, apply a gold tint to create a shimmer.
3. Sweep a peach colour along your cheekbones and fan the colour out towards your temples.
4. Apply a setting mist over the blush and eyeshadow to maintain the look.
GEOMETRIC HOW TO Petal Metallic Lip
1. Use an exfoliating lip balm to create a smooth and even base for your lipstick.
2. To create the graphic line, place a thin strip of adhesive tape over your lips.
3. Use a lipstick brush to apply layers of pastel blue matte lipstick.
4. Top up the lipstick with a metallic matte gloss, remove the tape and, voila!
GET A CHIC SHAPE HOW TO Graphic Eyeliner
1. Apply an eye make-up primer on the eyelids to prepare the skin and to ensure the eye pencil does not smudge.
2. Get a liquid eyeliner in a pastel hue that suits your skin tone.
3. Start lining from the centre of your eyelid to the end of your eye. Repeat the process on the other eyelid.
PASTEL POP HOW TO Yellow Eyeshadow
1. Pastel eyeshadow tends to fade on dark skin. To make sure your shadow pops and stays in place all day, apply a primer all over your eyelid first.
2. Use an eyeshadow brush or your fingertips to spread the eyeshadow across your eyelid, covering from brow to eye.
3. Dab setting powder over your eyelids to keep the eye colour bright.
ADD A BOLD SHIMMER HOW TO Glitter Lips
1. For this statement lip, start off by exfoliating your pout with a lip scrub to remove dead, chapped skin, or lip polish to soften your skin.
2. Apply a lipstick in a pastel pink colour.
3. Top it up with a glittering lip gloss in a complementing colour, like a soft violet shade.
4. Use a setting spray over your lips to keep the matte look in place.
