MAC: Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow/Pressed Pigment

Price: B1,750 / B950
Shades of blue are undoubtedly in this autumn/winter; not only did they feature heavily on the runways, but blue is also the main color when it comes to eye-shadow. MAC, for instance, has introduced a new palette series, Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow, in which the Bleuluxe is dedicated to the “perfect” blue in five shades. Apply as if going for a smokey-eye look with the middle blue as a base. On top of the palette, MAC has also introduced 12 new shades for its pressed pigment eye-shadow. To get this look, we picked the mid-tone Sweet Acting to act as a contrast for your base blue by applying at the inner corner of your eye then down the lash line.       

Illamasqua: Paranormal Palette/Posture lipstick

Price: B1,900/B850
Famed for their theatrical makeup style, Illamasqua always comes up with new ideas to play around with for your party look, like their latest collection inspired by “colors that can’t be seen on earth.” As you’d expect, the Paranormal Palette comes with four space-inspired colors: Paranormal (pink-infused red), Aura (copper), Possession (neon green) and Trance (soft neon purple). Get the look by using Aura as the base color on your lids before blending the Paranormal color on your upper lid and lower-lash line. Then make a contrast by using the Trance color around the inner corner of your eye. Match with their new Posture (pastel purple) lipstick.  

YSL: Pure Chromatics City Drive Arty Palette/Rouge Pur Couture N54 Prune Avenue

Price: B2,700/B1,200
Inspired by the city’s colors at the end of the day (grey, blue and neon lights), together with underground graffiti, YSL’s Creative Director Lloyd Simmonds has come up with a sharp new look for girls this autumn/winter. The City Drive Arty Palette is an absolute must-have this season, containing four shades: neon green, chrome-plated steel, asphalt black and electric blue. Go for some contrast on your eyes by applying the electric blue as a base and highlighting the upper eyelid with neon green. Use asphalt black to create depth at the outer corner of your eye and along the lash-line and then apply the chrome-plated steel in the inner corner. Match the Rouge Pur Couture N54 Prune Avenue lipstick for a sophisticated downtown girl look.
