Look-At-Me Eyes

Thought molten metallic and bold, brave eyes were just for party season? Think again. The SS13 catwalks were awash with silky silver shadows and bright, block colours. Check it out.

Fan your shimmering silver shadow outwards into a winged shape and finish with plenty of eyeliner.

Keep hair simple and lips nude to balance out a strong look like this.

                                                        As seen at: Christian Dior S/S 13
Yes, we’re planning our festival make-up looks already – and this Christian Dior creation is top of our list. Pick a block colour (the brighter the better) and add some sparkle.

Contrast a hot pink with golden jewels for a sure-fire hit. 

                                                As seen at: Donna Karan S/S 13
A super-bright pink ticks two trend boxes (pink is the must-have hue of the season). Nice one Donna Karan.

We LOVE this glowing golden smoky shadow. Finish with grungy kohl liner on the lower lash line

Go Nude

There’s no better time to let your natural beauty shine through than the fresh spring and summer months. With the aid of a little concealer, tinted moisturiser and powder to achieve your desired finish, you’re ready to go. Matte, velvety textures replace dewy, glowing looks for SS13.

Gently sculpt your cheekbones with shading but leave lips and lashes nude. 

Grunge Is My Goal

This year’s grunge-inspired looks were all about shading on the lower lash line. From pretty subtle bronze to bold and broken blacks, find your comfort zone and go grunge.

Leave hair loose and voluminous for a too-cool-to-care look.

Just a hint of pink blush will warm your complexion. 

                                                      As seen at: 3.1 Phillip Lim S/S 13 Add an extra grungy edge by letting your mascara clump together a little (basically the opposite of what you usually try and do) and then smudge your kohl liner along the lower lash line only.

Neon! Neon!

Basically our favourite trend of the season: tell the world you’re not afraid of colour with one of SS13’s colour pop statements. This Giles lip is absolute perfection.

Solid Bronze

Softly sculpt your face with bronzer and use rich, warm tones on your eyes for a sunny summer finish.
