Ballet Beauty
This look evokes a sense of youth and softness. This monochromatic colour palette of peachy-pink tones is a great way to enhance a natural glowing complexion. I love the combination of a pretty lip stain, flushed cheek and fluffy brows with a strategic highlight placement on the high points of the face.

Neo Classic
This look is a take of old Hollywood icons such as Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly. It’s a timeless and flawless beauty that focuses on a naturally contoured eye and coral-red lip. This look lends itself to going bolder, brighter or darker with the lip. Likewise you could build on the eye by going more smoky and dramatic.
Draw the Line
You can never go wrong with a winged liner from creating fine-winged corners, to thick and bold lines, or colourful and graphic. You could even go heavy under the eye and connect it up to the wing if you’re looking to make a statement. Regardless of how you like your liner, this makeup look gives the eyes strength and definition while elongating the eye shape. My recommendation is to keep the skin radiant and illuminated so that your eyes are the stars of the show.
