and Michael Kors all
taking inspiration from
their childhood treats: think
candyfloss lips, lemon sherbet lids
and Turkish delight lashes. These
looks aren’t as difficult to master
as you might think: read on to find
out how you can pull them off. The
future’s bright, so here’s how to
look good enough to eat…
JELLY BELLY BLUE
Blue eyeshadow first surfaced
in Victorian times when a blue
tint to the eyelids was thought to
convey an innocent and beautiful ut u iful
heart. Fast forward a century tury
(via a bad turn in the Eighties) ighties) and
this year’s shades are e every bit
as whimsical and romantic. ntic. Key
ones to look out for are cornflower ornflower
and bright baby blue.
Best for Either dark brown or
platinum blonde hair, brown or grey
eyes or those with fair skin.
Avoid If you have blue eyes, don’t
fall into a ‘matchy matchy’ mindset,
as this may dull your natural eye
colour. Instead, opt for a blue shadow
two to three shades darker or lighter
to really make your eyes twinkle.
Stylist’s tip Keep the rest of your
make-up to a minimum. A nude lip
will enhance your eyes and create
a modern feel. For a subtler look,
follow DKNY’s lead, where make-up
artist Charlotte Willer mixed Vaseline
with her favourite eyeshadow and
dabbed it onto the ends of lashes.

SHERBET B E T
LEMON YYELLOW
E
The sun may still not have his hat on,
but yellow is big news this year.
Whether it’s for eyes or nails, the
colours to look out for are those
citrus lemon-sherbet shades that
are distinctly reminiscent of flying
saucer-shaped sweets.
Best for If you’re bored of
your usual polishes, pastel yellow
is a great way of shaking up your
nail wardrobe. Pale Love Heart
-yellow shades look great with
almost every eye colour.
Avoid If you have sallow or olive skin
as it will exaggerate yellow tones. For
daytime, go easy with this shade as
it’s quite punchy, unless you’re going
for bone or cream hues. With yellow,
less is definitely more.
Stylist’s tip At Emilio Pucci, Mac
make-up artist Lisa Butler used a pale ale
shimmery lemon above and below w
tthe eye, finished off with only a tiny
hhint of mascara. “The accent on the
ey eye is like a piece of jewellery for
th the face,” she says. Bolder colours
ca can make eyes look smaller, so rather
tha than going up to the brow bone,
onl only extend the shadow up to the
cre crease of the eye.

COTTON
CANDY PINK
Great on everything from lips and
nails to cheeks and eyes, take your
pick from a whole host of hues:
from sumptuous marshmallow
to candy cane pink, there’s a
shade for every occasion.
Best for Brightening up the
dreariness of winter. Hollywood
make-up artists like Max Faktorowicz
(the founder of Max Factor who
invented the term ‘make-up’) have
used pale pink eyeshadow on
generations of sleep-deprived
actors to make them look like
they’ve had a full night's sleep.
Avoid Sometimes you can have
too much of a good thing, so if
you’re naturally flushed or suffer
from rosacea, there’s no need to
miss out. Instead, invest in a green
ttinted primer (like L’Oréal Studio
SSecrets Anti-Redness Primer, £9.99)
to
get you back to a neutral start
be before you apply any colour.
Stylist’s St tip Dior make-up artist
for
the UK, Jamie Coombes, uses
pin pink blusher instead of bronzer in
the winter to sculpt the face. He
advises, “Apply a pale pink blusher
almost as a highlighter, sweeping it
across the top of cheekbones and
temples.” Hot-pink eyeshadow can
be a little too ‘punk chic’ for some,
so to make it clear that you’ve got
style rather than allergies, only
ever apply it above the eyes.

PARMA VIOLET
PURPLES
Purple has been big news this winter
and the trend looks set to continue.
Springtime calls for softer, lighter
colours, so swap the deep royal
purples for lavender lilacs.
Best for In colour mathematics,
lilac and brown are very happy
bedfellows, so if you have dark
eyes or dark hair (or preferably
both), this colour can look incredible.
Avoid Deep purples with blue
undertones if you have very fair skin,
as they can make you look too washed
out or exacerbate problems for those
wwho have veins around the eyes.
Stylist’s tip To ease into this trend,
turn your eyeshadow into eyeliner
by dipping a thin, wet brush into the
shadow before applying. Finish off
any purple eye make-up with lashings
of black mascara. Glossy lilac lips
are also hot this spring and are
enhanced by pink cheeks (one of
the very few times it’s permissible
to wear two candy colours at once).
