Violet hue eye shadows work to turn green coloured eyes emerald, blue shades reveal the golden hints in brown coloured eyes, iridescent and chrome shades intensify the depth of ebony eyes and brown, beige and orangey hues bring out blue eyes, and in turn make them appear an incredible shade of azure!

For best results you should apply the eye shadow over the entire eye lid using a sweeping motion and work the product upwards, beginning at the outer corner of the eye and blending the formula right across the eye lid in order to open up the eyes.  This process creates a wide awake and dramatic look.

Studio Secrets Professional eye shadows are available in a variety of effects as well as colours, these include matt, pearlescent and shimmering shades, meaning results created  vary from natural to more intense.  These are the perfect eye shadows for day and night as so many effects can be achieved with each style.   There are pearl and shimmering styles with a certain transparency contained in the formula, which increases the luminosity and in turn creates a radiant look.  The lamellar talc included provides an ultra-soft finish, which is perfect for day time wear.  The formula is extremely light in the matte and satin styles; this is due to the finely ground up particles that are able to optimise coverage without opacity.  The balance between both the white base and the pigments is enhanced in order to create a unique and bold colour.

Neal & Wolf, the hair care specialists have introduced a Fix Hold & Shine Spray that can be obtained for a total price of £11.95.  This spray not only works with your hair down but also is also great with elegant up-dos.  The unique formula works to keep your style in place all day long and the best bit is your locks appear shiny without looking coated in product.  The scent is light and pleasant without being overpowering.

If you haven’t been lucky enough to see the sun this year then why not fake it with the Fake Bake Bronzer.  This nifty little product comes in a cute compact complete with a handy mirror.  The formula has been divided into two separate shades, one is slightly darker than the other meaning you can control the shade.  The Fake Bake Bronzer is priced at a total of £16 and boasts to give the complexion a natural sun-kissed glow.  The Fake Bake Bronzer can be picked up from any beauty counter stocking the brand nationwide.

If you require an instant boost of brightness for your skin then look no further than Fresh Soy Face Serum.  The unique formula sinks into the skin without leaving any unsightly residue and boasts to give the skin an instant lift whilst leaving it feeling both sot and hydrated with moisture.

The innovative formula is packaged in a cutesy casing, just like all the Benefit products and is an asset to the dressing table but also makes an ideal present.  It comes in a peachy coloured casing with ‘moon beam’ typed across the front of the packaging in bold lettering. The box is so well designed it almost makes it impossible to throw away.

The bottle is equally as gorgeous in style, just like the Benefit Benetint this bottle also resembles a bottle of nail varnish and comes in a clear glass bottle, revealing the enticing gold liquid inside.  

The logo from the box is embossed across the front of the packaging and it comes with a screw cap black lid.  The lovely packaging is standard of the Benefit brand and is just one of the reasons the label is so popular today.

The Moonbeam formula from Benefit claims to highlight and illuminate the complexion with ‘moonlight radiance’.  For best results the product should be applied over make-up and to your cheekbones.  The Benefit Moonbeam is said to be suited to those that possess skin tones that are olive, tan and dark in shade.

The liquid housed in the Moonbeam bottle is of a gorgeous gold hue, which when it catches the light has a pink shimmer to it.  It doesn’t offer any meticulous smell but the consistency is thick enough to easily apply but not so thick it becomes very sticky and awkward to merge into the skin.  Instead the formula offers a very smooth feel when applied to the face.

For best results the Benefit Moonbeam should be applied after your make-up base but is also great on sun kissed skin over a tinted moisturiser.

Benetint by Benefit is a cheek and lip stain, which acts as an alternative to blusher and lipstick.  Benetint offers a liquid stain to the skin and lips in both natural tones and shades.  Lip and cheek stains are a lot more long-lasting and give a more natural rosy look, as opposed to the powdery look that is often created when using blusher.

Benetint is one of the most popular cheek and lip stains on the market to date; this is possible because of the versatility and natural shade of the Benetint formula. It is suitable for both extremely pale complexions as well as tanned and bronzed skin tones. The stain gives a natural and flushed colour which is unanimously suited to all skin tones.  The Benetint product boasts to achieve a natural and youthful glow, and also claims to be suitable for all age ranges.

Benefit products are obtainable from beauty counters in most major department stores, and also in selected Boots stores.  Benetint is priced at a total of £22.50, but for a noticeable result only a little product is required.

The Benetint formula is housed in a round glass bottle with an entirely transparent finish.  This is especially useful if you require knowing how much product you have left.  The bottle has a white plastic screw top lid with a brush attached to the inside base, this resembles that of a nail polish brush and enables ease of use.  The brush bristles are very soft and thin in style and won’t irritate the skin.

The formula is a deep red shade but once applied to the skin appears much lighter and creates a radiant rosy glow.  If you desire a darker shade, especially when applying the product to the lips, simply add a few more coats of Benetint to the desired area.

With so little sleep and so much partying try the concealer kit from Confessions of a Concealaholic Kit in order to hide those under eye dark circles or any unsightly breakouts! This particular product can be snapped up for a price of £28.50 and as well as the concealer houses a brightening primer and mirror.

Make sure you look at your best by following a few of these beauty regimes and you are guaranteed to have a great time.

Whenever you feel like this then its time for a little beauty maintenance which will in turn perk up that dull complexion! The first step of this beauty regime should be to invest in a great facial exfoliating formula or alternatively try a moisturising facial peel. Both products will work to scrub and rid your skin of dead skin cells as well as dirt that has built up over time, resulting in a fresh and awakened complexion that appears both smooth and even in tone.

The next step is to purchase an all over spray tan; an expert at a salon can either apply this at home or alternatively. A spray tan will result in an even and sun kissed glow, making the skin appear both radiant and in good health. Xen tan or St Tropez are some of the most popular products on the market to date and claim to achieve a natural looking tan in minutes that will build up over a few days to create the illusion of that ‘just stepped off the beach’ look.

The final step is to invest in some essential make up pieces; bronzer and highlighter are the perfect pieces for summer and again will result in a healthy facial glow. Lash extensions are also a good investment as by applying these will banish panda eyes and create the illusion of wide-awake and statement peepers.

If you don’t have the time or the patience to apply eyelashes opt for good mascara. L’Oreal’s all new Volume Million Lashes Mascara l claims to achieve eyes that scream look at me by separating each individual lash, in turn creating the effect of more lashes and no clumps at all.

Designers’ imaginations have gone over the top and are all working on the concept that anything is in fact possible. The Paris shows showcased all the top designers and major players with high fashion houses such as Dior and Armani Prive taking centre stage.

Both designers offered some exceptional pieces in the shape of two extremely different looks. At Dior, John Galliano teamed up with the renowned make-up artist Pat McGrath in order to add an injection of magic and fantasy to the equation. The in famous make-up artist to the stars created 19th Century dressage-inspired thoroughbreds with big hair, as if stepping back into the time of the Countess di Castiglione. Arching brows and perfect red cupid’s bow-adorned lips were painted on the array of models faces, which in turn resembled picture perfect china dolls.

Over at Armani Prive, the designer revealed an astrological inspired collection, the make up artist Linda Cantello worked muted pastels into the faces of models in order to create a series of ‘lunar girls’ who appeared as if they had never stepped foot in the sun.

Even though the two designs revealed some very different pieces, both opted for similar make-up I the shape of porcelain-pale skin layered with lashings of velvety powder, which was then defined by rich colour on both the eyes and the lips. Each look was certainly a bold statement that worked extremely well with attire on show.

In order to celebrate the launch, the brands ambassador Blair Patterson will be touring the country in order to provide make-up fanatics with inventive beauty consultations. Patterson is already an internationally well-known make connoisseur and has travelled the world, revealing some of the brands top products, such as iMatch Colour philosophy. Some of these destinations include Hong Kong, St. Petersburg, Shanghai and Moscow, sharing both the latest and most on trend Estée Lauder cosmetics as well as various make up tips and tricks.

Blair is renowned for creating both beautifully detailed, yet natural-looking make up designs. Throughout his career he has made it his mission to teach all women the same make up talent and methods he uses professionally. The make-up god believes make-up to be both a ‘visual effect and a trick of the eye’, he also believes all women should become pro’s in the art of make-up.

The Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Collection not only offers an array of beautiful make-up which will in turn create the effect of a naturally radiant and sun-kissed appearance, there is also a summery fragrance and a line of skincare products, all of which have been created to aid you in achieving that natural sun kissed glow.

This is certainly a look that is great for evening, vivid oranges and bright blues really bring out the eyes and will definitely cause a statement. For best results apply to both the eyelid and the eye socket, finishing by blending the product up towards the brow bone. A coat of intense black mascara will really bring out the eyes.

If you desire to work this look throughout the day, colour should be used more sparingly and a slick coat of liner in a bright shade blended both above and below the lash line will suffice in creating a more subtle look that is still right on trend for the summer. Bright blues and vivid greens are very much this season or alternatively opt for an ice blue shade on the lower lash line, this will create a hint of sparkle and highlight the eyes.

Tangerine shades on the lips have been seen adorning the models at the Chanel shows and are certainly a big hit for 2010; an added bonus is that this shade also suits an array of complexions. For a fresh finish opt for the new felt-tip style lip stains or alternatively a glossy and in your face lip-gloss for an instant injection of colour and sparklle.

The results boast to achieve a subtle look that is both healthy and natural in appearance. For best results use the fingertips to blend the formula into the cheeks, this will create the illusion of pinched and rosy cheeks. The colour promises to last all day with no need for re-application but if you do wish to create a more dramatic look, more of the formula should be applied.

All of the products in the Natures Colour collection are suitable for both young and old due to the wide choice of shades, leaving the complexion with a healthy glow and slight dewy appearance. It’s certainly right on trend for both spring and summer.

The Kiss of Colour cheek blush can be picked up at a price of £10 from any Body Shop nationwide.
