The Lustrous Look

The lustrous look is all about metallic statement eyes. In this step-by-step guide, we teach you how to create eyes that dazzle, by applying rose gold and plum coloured eye shadows.

1
EYE SHADOW

Start with eye shadow. Apply a white, cream eye shadow to your eyelids – pick one that shimmers for a pearly affect. Follow with a rose gold eye shadow, starting at the inner corner of your eye and finishing at its centre. Now take a small brush and add depth with a deep purple colour. Start at the outer corner of your eyelid and blend at the centre. 




2
EYELINER

To add intensity, take a black eyeliner pencil and draw a line close to the lashes on the top lid. Create a smudge affect, by blending at the outer corner of your eyes with a brush. If you want extra intensity, add a thin line to your lower lash line as well.





3
MASCARA

Apply plenty of mascara to your lashes. This will open up your eyes and add extra intensity!






4
LIPS

Finish off the look with a nude coloured lip gloss. Keep lips simple - you want all the focus on your eyes!


There you have it. A modern and lustrous makeup look, that’s perfect for the evening!
