M.A.C. make-up artist Lesley Keane talked me through this sunny, wearable look:
Start with fresh, polished skin, then using a soft fluffy brush, blend M.A.C. Paint Pot in Groundwork, £11.74 a glossy, caramel-brown over your eyelids and into the socket line. I wont go backstage without this product it helps give eyelids a flattering, airbrushed effect and provides the perfect base for blending bright colours in a professional, polished way.
Bring it underneath the eye in a smooth, semicircular line, keeping close to the lash line.
Next, choose a bright eye shadow, such as violet, coral-bronze or yellow to blend over the top. A glittery eye shadow will add extra drama but keep it on the lid only.
Curl your lashes and use a coat of brown mascara top and bottom.
Keep cheeks sweet by bossing a little cream blush, such as M.A.C. Blushcreme in Posey, £14.68, in to the apples only. Use a foundation brush to really work it in and get a natural-looking flush that still adds definition.
Use a pretty pink stain or balm on your lips. If youve gone for a matte colour on your eyes, you can afford to add a slick of clear gloss over the top otherwise keep it simple.
Im going to try the look with yellow eye shadow itll give a lovely, warm ochre effect when blended over the base. Which bright colour will you choose?
