Armani Privé’s Disco Darling
Channel your inner disco ball with metallic shades swept across the eyes. At Armani model’s eyelids sparkled with subtle shimmer, whilst a graphic edge was added with metallic eyeliner. Recreate the look with M.A.C’s Mineralize Eye Shadow in Spiritual Life and Dior’s of the moment kohl in Pearly Silver. Yves Saint Lauren’t Black Opium was made for long nights on the dance floor.
Chanel’s Girl Next Door
For an innocent take on date night, look to Chanel’s little princess’s . Fresh skin and back to basics eyes were brought to life with a pop of colour on the lips. Turn to ByTerry’s Terrybly Velvet Rouge lip-gloss to add a rosy shine, whilst Chanel’s Harmonie Poudre Belle Mine Marinière N°1 will add a healthy flush to your cheeks. Jo Malone will seal the look by leaving you smelling of Red Roses.
Jean Paul Gaultier’s Vamp
Dark vampy lips will up the ante on any Valentines date. Guerlain’s Kiss Kiss in 561 will be sure to sweep a lust worthy shade across your pout. If you’re playing up lips keep eyes pared back with softly defined eyes using NARS’ St-Paul-De-Vence Duo Eyeshadow. Polished eyebrows and Chanel N°5 will pull it all together.
Stephane Rolland’s Femme Fatale
Luscious, long lashes will always be a beauty holy grail. Follow Stephane Rolland’s lead and maximise yours this Valentines. Load up Guerlain’s mascara to highlight your eyes whilst leaving skin radiant with Givenchy’s Le Prisme Visage. Nina Ricci’s latest offering L’Extase is the last word in seduction.
Versace’s Rock Chic
Make your eyes smoulder with a polished take on the rock chick’s dark eye shadow, as seen at Versace. Clarin’s Oriental Kohl and Sisley’s Visuel Palette Mystery Détourée will define eyes, whilst Micallef’s heady scent will make men weak at the knees. Balance graphic eyes with subtle coral lips and strong eyebrows to keep it from looking like the morning after the night before.
