Welcome the month in with a bang with a glossy blue pout and soft grey eyes. Get this look by prepping the skin with Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer (£25), which creates the ideal skin canvas by reducing pore sizes, and giving skin a velvety smooth finish. Follow this with black Up Paris Matifying Foundation (£27) and buff in with a foundation brush. On eyes apply Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow in Steel (£17) a dark grey with subtle and eye popping in equal measures. Finally on lips apply Illamasqua Apocalips (£16.50), this teal coloured lipstick has amazing pigment and add a little clear gloss to really packs a punch.
