Treat Yourself "BEAUTY"

If you have it, flaunt it. We tell you how you can make your favourite feature look most irresistible on this special occasion.

Make Eyes
· Start by using an eyelash curler. This will open up your eyes and make it easier for you to wear makeup.
· Apply light eyeshadow on the eyelids, blending it gently towards the brow bone. Brighten up the eyes by adding a dot of gold on the inside corners.
· With a steady hand, line your eyes with a black eye-liner. Create a winged effect by extending the liner half an inch outward from the corner of each eye.
· Apply a coat of mascara to the lashes to complete the look.

Expert tip: Try mixing gold pigment with eye gloss and use it as an alternative to eyeshadow.

Sculpt Those Cheekbones
· For an even skin tone, dot your face with a cream-based foundation and blend in gentle outward strokes. Pay special attention to the under eye areas.
· Take a peach-pink cheek colour and apply it on your cheeks using a thick brush, starting from the hollow, working towards the temples. Remember to blend it completely so that no harsh lines are visible.
· For a glam look, brush some bronzing powder on the cheeks.
· To add an extra dimension, use a hint of shimmer powder on top of the cheekbones.

Expert tip: Those with dark circles should avoid using shimmer powder on the cheeks, it will only draw attention to your problem.
Do Your Lips A Service
· Begin by outlining your lips with a lip liner to define their shape. Choose a liner in a shade similar to your lip colour.
· Fill in the base of your lips with the lip pencil. This will give the lip colour more depth and staying power.
· Using a lip brush, fill in your lips with a rich berry hue – one of the hottest lip colour trends of the season.
· Top with a transparent gloss or lip gloss of a similar shade as the lip colour for a glam effect.

Expert tip: When putting on lip gloss, a little goes a long way. To create the illusion of fuller lips, apply the gloss only to the middle of the lower lip, rather than to the entire surface.
