1 READY, SET, GLOW
Bronzer and highlighter are key to achieving Shay’s radiant dewy skin, and she loves this Charlotte Tilbury duo. Blend the sculpt powder across your forehead, temples and cheek hollows to define, then sweep the pearl pigmentinfused highlighter across the top of your cheekbones.
2 SMOKIN’ STARE
Things get messy with a smoky eye, so opt for powders that are easy to blend. Using a damp brush, apply the dark grey shade across your lid and lower lashes, building to the black shadow in the crease. Finally, blend the shimmery silver shade into your inner corners for a sparkling finish.
3 COOL KOHL
A n intense eyeliner will add extra drama and definition to this sultry look. We adore this silky liner from MAC, which delivers rich pigment in one easy swipe along your waterline. Top tip: dab a little black eyeshadow over the liner for extra staying power.
4 PERFECT PEEPERS
Luscious, long lashes are a must when it comes to smoky eyes. Layer several strokes of this mascara over your top and bottom lashes for a flirty flutter. The best bit? Shay’s make-up artist swears by this bargain buy.
5 GET LIPPY
Smoky eyes look best when paired with a minimal lip. To complete Shay’s look, simply finish off with a slick of this liquid, satin-finish lippy – it’s enriched with menthol for a plumped-up pout.
