Cocktail inspired beauty looks

Asian Persuasion

With a great weekend of sunshine (despite the odd shower) it feels like summer has officially arrived! This means rooftop bars, cocktails and not to mention the World Cup. Whether you are partying in Ibiza or Isleworth it’s time to swap nudes for neon and go bold. Here I have created three versatile summer makeup looks inspired by my favourite cocktails, which look great on Asian and dark skin.

ingredients

Ingredients: (Clockwise from top) Mac Studio fix foundation,  Boots 17 Shimmer brick, Mac lipstick in So Chaud, Nars Lipstick in Schiap, Revlon Colourburst lip butter in Wild Watermelon, Maybelline Rocket Mascara in Waterproof black,  a kabuki brush, Laura Mercier duo bronzer, Rimmel ScandalEyes micro liquid eyeliner in black.

Tequila Sunrise

Face: Prep skin and blend Mac Studio Fix Foundation into skin. Using a kabuki brush sweep Laura Mercier duo bronzer to capture both the bronze tones and sweep across the face in a figure of eight (from the forehead to the cheek, then from the cheek to the jaw). Ensure you blend down from the jawline to the neckline to avoid any obvious lines.

Eyes: Using Boots 17 shimmer brick use the gold shadow (third from the bottom) over eyes, then the darker shade over the crease. I do this using my fingers to add warmth to the colour and blend. Line eyes with Rimmel Scandelous liner in black and coat lashes with Maybelline Rocket mascara.

Lips: Mac lipstick in So Chaud makes lips pop. The colour goes on bright so blot should you wish to tone the colour down.

Tequila Sunrise with a mango twist. This is my take on a summer classic.
