Shimmering metallics in gold and silver combined with glossy bold lips makes a stunning, dramatic look perfect for the party season. James Kaliardos, International Make-up Artist for L'Orיal Paris, has come up with a step-by-step guide for creating that party princess look.
1. Flawless base – Apply foundation to even-out the complexion and to provide a perfect canvas for the rest of the make-up. Choose a shade that perfectly matches the skin to avoid those telltale 'tide marks'. L'Orיal Paris True Match (£8.99) comes in 12 different shades that blends easily for a natural finish. Finish the face by applying L'Orיal Paris Mousse Appeal in Praline (£6.99) to the cheekbones to frame the face.
2. Bright eyes – Forget subtle and go for a bold, shimmering look to draw attention to your eyes. James Kaliardos suggests: 'Either line the bottom lid with L'Orיal Paris Color Appeal Platinum in Pure Gold and layer the top lid with Color Appeal Holographic in Aurora Grey. Alternatively use a combination of Color Appeal Platinum in Real Silver and in Pure Gold on the top lid and line the bottom lid with Color Appeal Holographic in Aurora Grey, making sure that the eye socket line is emphasised with Color Appeal Platinum in Pure Gold.' When it comes to mascara only black will do – and the more of it the better!
3. Juicy lips – With a matte complexion and shimmering metallic eyes bright lips will make a great contrast, and when it comes to party lips the glossier the better. Combine Glam Shine Cream in X-Treme Brown (£7.99) and Glam Shine Holographic in Gold Toffee (£6.99) which contains pink and gold flecks for a sparkling finish,
Complete the look with bold nails, show off your dramatic make-up by wearing hair off the face, and get ready to party 'till dawn!
