Winged Eyeliner

There is nothing is more chic than a winged eye. This version is strong yet still feminine thanks to its delicate and precise point. “I used a felt-tip pen to create the sharp lines,” says celebrity makeup artist Pinky. For the hair, hairstylist Koh added a Kevin Murphy shine spray to keep locks looking sleek yet still touchable.

High Shine and Shimmer

Sleek hair and skin that glows under mood lighting is so seductive. To achieve this, Pinky suggests using highlighter before foundation. “Use a fluffy brush to buff highlighting cream over high points,” she says. “Then use a smaller fluffy brush to add foundation where you need it.”

Smoke & Smoulder Eyeshadow 

For eyes, “try applying deep-sea blues swept over the lids and under the lower lash line,” says Pinky. She also suggests patting shimmery shadow onto lids with fingers, to allow light to bounce off them at night. Kohl-lined eyes are a classic. “Define the crease line with shadow then blend a fine wash of eyeshadow over the lids.” Apply a hair mask to locks for a sleek, undone vibe.

Statement Red Lip 

A red lip always ups the stakes and injects some drama. A statement lip allows the rest of the face and your hairstyle to stay pared back. “Liquid lipstick is the secret to a bold, clean lip in a flash,” says Pinky. “Apply sheer layers for a strong, flawless finish and add lip conditioner if the result feels too matte.”

Night Time Flush

Blush and night-time might not seem like an obvious match, but it’s a great way to add a youthful glow to an evening look. “Start with a cream blush buffed on with a fluffy face brush then tap a powder blush over the top for extra vibrancy,” says Pinky

Flawless Glowy Base 

Create airbrushed, dewy skin with good prep and sheer makeup layering. “Spritz and massage a hydrating mist into skin,” says Pinky. “Next, massage in serums rather than heavy moisturiser. Then add a sheer layer of foundation and concealer only
