Gloss Drops
Play around with glossy ventures to give neutral make up an extra dimension. Start by applying Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H (£29.50) with a foundation brush and groom brows with Charlotte Tilbury Brow Lift (£22.50). On eyes add a clear sticky lip-gloss like Elizabeth Arden Crystal Clear Lip Gloss (£18) and line the inner water line with a black kohl pencil. Lastly apply a pinky brown lipstick, which is a great nude for chocolate complexion – try MAC lipstick in Twig (£15.50) for starters.
Let it shine
After years of matte and satin versions glossy red lips are making a comeback for spring. Get this look by applying MAC Pro Longwear Lipglass in Driven by Love (£17.50), while cheeks are chiseled with a sweep of Nars Blusher in Lovejoy (£23). Next, brighten eyes by applying Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow in Stone (£17.50) above the crease line and then add Rose Gold (£17.50) over the lid. Finish with a sweep of liquid liner and a coat of Luxurious Mascara from YSL (£25).
Glam Glow
Create a stunning glow to the skin by playing around with warm golden tones. Smooth on Illamasqua Gleam in Aurora (£20) on the cheekbones and add Black up Contour Stick (£29) beneath. Then apply Shu Uemura Pressed Eyeshadow in gold (£11) softly over the eyes and contrast lips with a deep berry hue like Lord & Berry lipstick in Cupid (£13). Nails are painted a orange/gold mix, Butter London Nail Lacquer in Chuffed (£12)
