Flashes of colour in unexpected

places? Yup, we’re going there

SMUDGE

IT UP

STARE-AT SCALE 1/

Want a fresh take on the

smokey eye? Giorgio Armani

international make-up artist

Linda Cantello says a hint of

electric blue adds vibrancy.

Use black kohl liner on the

top and bottom waterlines,

then plant a hefty amount

of metallic blue shadow in

the middle of the lid. Use

a small, pointed brush to

drag it along the lash line and

outwards – this elongates

eyes. Smudge shadow

underneath and dab glossy

highlighter at the outer

corners. Finish with a nude

lip like Giorgio Armani

Flash Lacquer Crystal

Shine Gloss in 109 (£28) to

make this look even sexier.

GET

SQUARE

STARE-AT SCALE 2.5/

Make-up artist Tom Pecheux

says the inspiration for this

striking yet minimalist look

came from ’50s African

dancers. After mixing pink

highlighter drops with

foundation to make skin

look flushed, he added

a ‘fashion sweat’ by

applying clear eye gloss

on models’ cheekbones.

For the statement eyes,

he cut sponges into small

square shapes, dampened

and dipped them into

black face paint (Kryolan

Aquacolor in Deep Black,

£6, works well). Stamp the

sponge just underneath the

tail of each brow or, if

you’re feeling bold, use

white paint, or do one of

each on both eyes – the

options are (almost) endless.

Be there or be square.

Make-up maestro Val

Garland told us the theme

at Vivienne Westwood

was the Mediterranean

• which goes a long way to
  explaining the light blue
  eyeshadow. “It’s important
  to keep skin minimal
  because it’ll make the
  colour pop more,”
  explains Garland. Once
  you’re happy with your
  base, start on the eyes. Use
  a small angled brush with
  cream shadow (try 3ina
  The Cream Eyeshadow
  in 304, £8.95) to create the
  initial shape. Then use a
  shading brush to press a
  similarly coloured powder
  shadow on top to set it in
  place. Feeling rebellious?
  Swipe the colour across
  your brow bone with your
  fingertips instead. Rock on.
