* Prep it up: Start by moisturising and nourishing your skin with an argan oil-enriched product.
* Get the base right: Even your skin using a dewy foundation. Highlight the cheek bones using a bronzer and add depth to the look with strokes of bronzing.
* Shimmer it right: Add more hints of gold using a highlighter or a shimmer brick.
* Pop the lip: For the lips, opt for matte shades like coral or wine colour.

This is the perfect blend of earthiness and glamour, playing with copper tones, while keeping the feel fresh and natural.
* Prep it up: Start by moisturising and nourishing your skin with an oil-in-crme.
* Ace the base: Even your skin using a serum foundation and use a highlighter to contour the cheekbones to give them a beautiful sheen.
* Dreamy eyes: For the eyelids, use a mix of pink, orange and brown hues to give them a dreamy feel.
* Pout out loud: For the lips, use a plum shade to make them pop.

#3: The Contemporary Bride

This look is a new interpretation of the coloured-graphic liner, focusing on a statement eye make-up, which flaunts a bold metallic purple.
* Prep it up: Start by moisturising and nourishing your skin with an oil-in-crme.
* Base it up: Even your skin using a dewy foundation and add a touch of a good highlighter.
* Eyes say it all: Use a bright-coloured eye shadow with a metallic or silver undertone. Use a shade of purple to give your eyes an edge.
* Chic lips: For the lips, use a light pink shade.
