Aagam Kaur shows us how to get the season's runway beauty looks
Dubai-based make-up artist Ania Poniatowska shares her top tips to recreate the most eyecatching S/S19 runway looks on cool-girl Aagam Kaur
Look 1 Pearl Power GET THE LOOK
This look is pretty bold but the eyes tell a thousand stories, so why not accentuate them? It's always good to start with a strong make-up base for any eye-popping look as you want the skin to look natural, dewy and glowing. I tend to mix creams and foundations as they give a lighter coverage to the skin. I never like the skin to feel too heavy or look overdone – effortless beauty is always a high priority. I often use Lucas Papaw Ointment for the lips to make them moisturised and dewy, too. The trickiest part of this look is the application of the beads – you need a steady hand and a very good pair of tweezers. With a look like this I don't use mascara so as to not take anything away from the detailing.

Look 2 Think Pink GET THE LOOK
It's easy to stick to what you know but if you're feeling brave, this look is definitely worthy of a party or an evening out with friends. For this look, I opted for a dewy finish as skin needs to look healthy. Moisture is important – Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Skin Cream is a make-up kit essential I swear by. To achieve the pink hue on the eyes, I mixed a lot of different colours before finishing with a light layer of mascara.

Look 3 Go Green GET THE LOOK
The combination of the bold green hue and avant-garde vibe make this my favourite look. It shapes the eye and creates a cool, graphic shape. I used a lip tint to help balance the tones of the look, too. I also added a little glitter because it's so much fun to experiment with, especially if you are going to a concert or festival.
