Queen Of Hearts
Festive make-up thinks outside the box – and colours outside the lines. Just keep the rest simple, as seen here with Alexis’ rich, ruby-red eye against bare skin.
The Jam
Sticky strawberry lipstick clashing with gold and pink highlights reminds us to throw out the manual when it comes to making statement make-up moves.
Electric Pink
Why make one statement when you can make 10? Pair liner with colour, with shadow, with stick. Add a statement scarf for good measure.
Between The Lines
Leave behind the straight and narrow when it comes to eyeliner, using lacquer to play with new eye shapes.
A Glint In The Eye
Foil alert: metallic lacquers, paper and pigment found their way onto many a model’s face at Chanel’s AW20 show. Find your own shape, your own finish, your own golden rules.
Starring You
The sweet spot between dramatic self-expression and subtlety is found in neutral palettes. Try muted tones shot with grown-up glitter for the halfway house.
Seeing Red
Stamp on pigment in bold shades - lipstick, shadow or otherwise. Don't worry about shape, just wear with confidence.
