Step 1 – Create a brown eyeshadow look
We’re going easy on the eyes for this look, so start with a soft brown eyeshadow and sweep across the eyelids. Focus on adding definition across the eyelid crease, getting darker towards the outer corners. Add a little eyeshadow underneath the lower lash line too. Finish the eyes with lashings of mascara.
Step 2 – Go for pink on the cheeks & lips
Apply a pink blush to the apples of your cheeks. Dust a little highlighter above the cheekbones so that you’re look catches the candlelight beautifully. Pick up on the blushing hue by finishing your look with a matte pink lipstick.
2. Smouldering Eyes & Kissable Lips
We’ve taken a super-hot smokey eye and partnered it up with a kiss-me-quick lip.

Step 1 – Blend kohl eyeliner along lash line
Take your trust black kohl eyeliner and draw along the upper lash line. There’s no need to be neat with this because as soon as you’ve drawn your line blend it out with an eyeshadow brush. Add definition with your mascara.
Step 2 & 3 – Define contours & apply red lippie
Apply bronzer under the cheekbones, across the forehead, chin and down the nose. This is a way of softly contouring without the need for a complete 10-step Kim K-inspired process. Next, dust highlighter along the top of your cheekbones, tip of your nose and Cupid’s bow.
Select a seductive shade of red lipstick and apply to your lips. For bonus precision points use a matching red lipliner before to help you keep inside the lines.
3. Oh So Sultry
If you want to set the mood for romance from the second they lock eyes on you, then this sultry look is the one for you.

Step 1 – Create a dark smokey eye
Apply black gel liner across the lids and blend using an eyeshadow brush. Blend in a dark brown eyeshadow along the eyelid crease to add a little warmth (and fire!) to your look.
Take the dark eyeshadow underneath the lower lash line and draw with kohl eyeliner along the waterline to add definition.
Step 2 & 3 – Apply falsies & nude lippie
To get your lashes flutter-ready with a magic wave of a mascara wand and go full-on glam by following up with some false eyelashes.
We want the smokey eyes to take centre stage, so finish with a neutral nude liquid lipstick to let the eyes do all the talking.
