This combination of pinky and burgundy colours really made Caroline’s gorgeous blue eyes jump out.
Rimmel eyebrow pencil in the colour ‘Hazel’, with a little bit of MAC Brun to soften the look.
Mascara – Maybelline the Falsies (what else?!). Prunella is a dark brown eyeliner with a hint of burgundy and I’m yet to find anyone it doesn’t look gorgeous on (my favourite ever eyeliner). MAC Prunella Eye kohl applied on both the upper and lower lashline – blended out with a teeny bit of Beauty Marked to generate a smokey effect. MAC’s Brule eyeshadow as a brow highlight. A teeny bit of this eyeshadow goes a long, long, way. Beauty Marked swatches almost black, but is actually a very dark burgundy with purple undertones. Also a much loved colour of mine, this is a great alternative to a black eyeshadow to bring depth and smokiness to a look. MAC’s Beauty Marked eyeshadow on the outer v of the eye. This is one of my favourite Mac eyeshadows and is a burgundy shade with a bit of a shimmer. This is a unique pinky/plummy colour with a slightly frosty finish that I’m yet to find a dupe for and it looks particularly sensational on blue or brown eyes. MAC’s Star Violet eyeshadow all over the lid. Caroline kindly gave me free reign to do whatever look I liked! So, I went for a smokey eye using pinky/plummy and burgundy tones. We thought we’d go for a slightly different look – I was keen to try out any look that would take Caroline out of her reported comfort zone of neutral colours. On this particular day, following Caroline hiding the silver in my hair, it was my turn to play makeup. All of this while drinking great coffee, listening to good beats, with great conversation to boot.
Then I wave my makeup brushes around getting creative. She does my hair (she’s a super talented hairdresser). Playing hair and beauty with Caroline is my idea of a perfect activity.
