Red Carpet Beauty
Red carpet makeup looks inspire us to head into the bathroom and try out the trends...on the menu this summer are classic cat-lined eye and red lip combos.
The Bronze Smoky Eye
Best paired with a popsicle-stained lip, this look is subtle, but formal — a rare dynamic for an evening makeup effect.Blending well is the key to any smoky eye and a bright pink or red stain on the lip will subtly enhance the drama of your gaze. When choosing colours be sure to think of your skin tone and choose browns and soft golds to suit your complexion.
A structured brow can bring a minimally made-up face from meh to formal. Start by plucking stray hairs carefully (see a professional for threading or waxing if you're unsure). Use a sharp pencil in a color two to three shades darker than your natural brow hue to define your brow, making it thicker and more angular than your natural arches. Set your brows with clear mascara or a brow gel.
Big Lashes
Get it, girl. Red carpet looks are all about bringing your eyelash
A-game. To create extra-lengthy lashes, first curl them with a lash curler, then dust a layer of translucent powder on your lashes for volume before applying two coats of mascara. Look down and brush down for the first coat; look up and brush up for the second.
The Poppy Lip
Poppy is the perfect blend of pink, red and orange and packs a major color punch. It's a hue that complements nearly every skin tone, thanks to its mix of warm and cool undertones. Rocking a poppy lip solo gives a navy or black dress attitude.
For a little more oomph, tightline your eyeliner in a soft mahogany.
The Punchy Pink LipA punchy pink lip is more wearable than red and looks great with a semi-dramatic eye to a minimal one. I like to wear a pink lip with a shimmery beige lid, some thick liner in a rich brown and softly blushed cheeks.
Peachy-Pink Cheeks
For more drama on your cheeks than a soap opera star, all you need is ELES COSMETIC MINERAL BLUSH in Lush FLIRT and a blush brush. Sweep on a few layers (I'd say three to be safe, as it's sheer) for the ultimate '80s-inspired bright flush.
