Get the Look: Bejewelled
Make everyone green with envy this season. This retro look is the classic 60s eye shape given a modern makeover with bright jewel-colours.
How to Prepare
Use a light moisturiser suited to your skin type to prep your skin.
If needed, curl lashes with eyelash curlers.
Creating the Look
Use a foundation with light coverage. Powder based mineral foundations are great for this look, tap off the excess and buff across your skin, building up layers until you are happy with the level of coverage. Apply a peach blusher to the apple of your cheeks for a natural flush. Our top tip- a peach lipstick can double up as a cream blush.
Use a light green shade all over the lid, from the lash line to the crease. Take a teal shade and across your lash line and eye socket contour the outer corner of your eye. For extra definition, use an eyeliner brush to draw the same teal shade along top and bottom lash line. Use an emerald shade as a liner on the bottom lash line and take into the inner corner of the eye. Make sure you blend the eye shadows.
Following the same method, you can try your favourite colours to make this look your own.
To thicken lashes, apply two coats of volumising mascara. Our top tip - for an unexpected twist, use different coloured mascara on the tips of your eyelashes.
Keep lips simple and let the eyes do the talking by using a nude lipstick. For bright colours, keep nails short and oval - complete the look with glossy orange nail polish.
Hair
Keep your hairstyle in place with a hairspray such as Umberto Giannini Catwalk Beauty. Why not also try a pretty hairgrip?
