COLOUR

With your canvas perfected, it’s time to bring the fun. A shot of red on your lips to empower, a glistening gloss that will catch the light (but not your hair) or a swipe of shadow in a colour that shouldn’t suit your eye colour but does – go for it. Don’t colour inside the lines, it’s cooler not to.
