GET THE LOOK: GREEN VELVET

Green is a colour on trend and the shimmery effect makes this eyeshadow look like liquid. Use an eye pencil in a matching shade to draw a soft outline while keeping your eye open — this way you can create a shape that follows the contour of your eye. When you are happy with both eyes, use the Smudging Brush to apply the Eye Colour in the hue Unreal. Want some extra shimmer? Carefully add the Glitterally Eye Colour in the hue Lagoon on top of the shadow. A black mascara makes the look complete.

Beauty hack! Hold a tissue under the eye when you apply the shadow to prevent the shimmer  from falling down all over your cheek.

Keep the rest of the face clean and add a little of warmth along the cheekbones with the Do-It-All Stick in Rose Opal. Finish the look with the Matte Lip Colour in the shade Dance to the Beet, with a bit of shimmering lip gloss on top.

GET THE LOOK: PURPLE RAIN

To create this amazing, matte ’80s-inspired eyeshadow look you need two things: the Eye Colour in the shade Purplosion and a big soft brush. The shadow should cover the eyelid all up to your eyebrow, but keep the colour opaque, and tone any sharp edges so that it fades nicely against your skin. Add a mascara to your lashes to make them stand out. 

Mismatch your lipstick — we used the Matte Lip Colour in the shade Classic Red — but go for the same blurry vibe here to keep the look consistent. The Do-It-All Stick in the warm shade Blackcurrant on your cheekbones makes your skin look alive.

GET THE LOOK: GOLDEN EYE

Not in the mood for either matte or shimmer? Go for glitter! Start with the golden Eye Colour in Mandarine Gold all over your eyelids, and then add the Scintillating Eye Colour in Treasure Dust for a subtle yet fun glitter look. Chunky lashes add the perfect finishing touch. Create them by applying a few layers of the Maximalist Mascara, not waiting for it to dry before you put on the next one. 

A pink lip contrasts with the gold — we used the Matte Lip Colour in Best Dressed and added some peach-coloured blusher to complete the look.
