Liberating lilac from its 'primly pretty' pigeonhole, a smudgy purple cut-crease paired with lavender eyeliner put a modern twist on femininity. Morphe's {35P Plum Eyeshadow Palette} boasts a spectrum of amethyst hues, while NYX Professional Makeup's {Slide On Pencil} in shade 'Purple Blaze' makes it über easy to achieve a graphic wing. Finish with falsies (our model wears Huda's {Harmony #17} and a slick of mauve-toned liquid lipstick - Stila's {Stay All Day Lipstick} in 'Baci' looks stunning.
If you're not curling up on the sofa to eat Christmas Bubble 'n' Squeak then you're probably planning a pub crawl with pals. Arresting when partnered with bold, brushed-up brows and a velvety-textured complexion, graphic black liner and glittering lips will ensure you look suitably scene-stealing. Prep your eyelids with a pale wash of shadow (try Viseart's {Neutral Palette}), then reach for your Stila Cosmetics' {Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner} to instantly upgrade your gaze and achieve a look fit for a (disco) queen.
Coordinate your make up with the Hogmanay display! A celestial space-scape, bring extra-terrestrial edge to your outfit with inky blue eyelids and just-bitten lips. Apply a deep, shimmering wash of bold cobalt-toned shadow from Huda Beauty’s {Sapphire Obsessions Palette}, then layer with Lemonhead.LA’s {Spacejam} in ‘Midnight Society’ to elevate your gaze to gorgeously galactic heights… Paired with nearly-bare lips and a ‘soft focus’ glow, nobody's gonna be watchin' the fireworks!
