If you’ve ever considered experimenting with your make up look, Summer is a brilliant time to try something new.
While a few lucky people can wear whatever lipstick colour they want, most of us are restricted by what lipsticks look best with our skin tone.
Eyeshadow is a different story, almost everyone can wear a range of colours. Eyeshadow is in my view, the funnest make up product to play around with.
If you’re nervous about using colours, start with more neutral tones and add a little shimmer.
A smudge of glittery shadow can transform your eyes. I’ve been trying some newly released eyeshadow palettes over the last few weeks.
Here’s my picks:
