IT’S party time, and that means putting on a fresh face for parties and barbecues.
There are two key looks for this season, says make-up artist and proprietor of Rogue Avenue in Manuka, Melissa Rusconi.
Smoky eyes are paired with a very glossy but neutral lip; or bright lips in apricot, fuchsia or red are teamed with neutral eye shadow and understated mascara.
“Choose either lips or eyes to accentuate, but not both: Otherwise they’ll compete with each other,” Melissa says.
Foundation is dewy and bronzer is a must for those with spray tans, to blend foundation with neck and shoulders – this avoids the phenomenon where, in photographs, our faces may seem much paler than our bodies.
