Sophie Ellis Bextor

                                 

To create this ditsy but sophisticated look, you simply need to use bright, bold colours and a lot of pink or red lipstick.

You will need:

Sky Blue Eyeshadow

Turquoise eyeliner or Eyeshadow

Powder

Vaseline or similar

Mascara

Lipstick in Pink

1. First, apply some Vaseline sparingly to your eyelid and just above the crease. Then sweep a big blob of powder under your eyes.

2. Now, sweep a lot of blue over the eyelid. We’re not trying to achieve tone and texture here, just a matte colour. This is why you need to apply the vaseline, so that the colour clings to your eyelid.

3. Using your turquoise eyeliner (or the eyeshadow paste) apply a line close to the lashes and flick it out as far as it suits you. Now, do the same along your bottom lashes, but start halfway, and flick it out until it is parallel to the other line you drew on the top.

4. No, apply mascara sparingly to your lashes. You don’t want them to be the centre of attention for your design, but the intense blues.

5. Apply some of the Vaseline to your lips. Now, apply the lipstick over this, and blot it with a tissue. Now apply it again. This will make the colour last much longer.

Now, go out there and stun!
