Five Popular Makeup Looks From Around The World

2. German Charm: A Touch Of Colour

Our friends over in Germany like to focus on their eyeshadow to create their date night look.

Rebecca flaunts a shimmery, turquoisy-green eyelook with a light coverage base and a touch of lip balm to charm her beau.

Recreate The Look:

1. Using the Morphe Colour Burst 35Ba Palette, apply the Ziggy shade to the outer corners and the crease of the eye, softly blending it out with circular strokes.
2. Apply the Moss Boss hue from your crease up until the middle of the eyelid and buff it out with a blending eyeshadow brush.
3. Apply the Lemonade shade to the inner corners of your eyes and blend it towards your brows.
4. Apply the Ziggy hue to your lower lash line and softly blend it out.
5. Apply eyeliner to your bottom lash line just under the eye. Then, using the same brush you used to apply Moss Boss, blend it out. Finish off the look with a few lashings of mascara.
6. You can then apply your base (primer, liquid highlighter and foundation), define your features with blush and contour, shape your eyebrows and sweep some lipgloss onto your lips.

She rocks a messy bun and a cool blazer so that her strong brows and high cheekbones can take centre stage.

Recreate The Look:

1. Apply a CC cream to your face and neck, gently blending it in with your hands.
2. Pluck and shape your brows using tweezers to clean up any rogue hairs for an effortlessly sleek look. Then, tint and set your brows using a semi-permanent brow tattoo to make them look bold and full.
3. Using the Urban Decay On The Run Mini Palette, sweep the Off The Grid hue across your whole eyelid, then blend the Escape shade into the outer corner and crease. Buff the two shades together to create a soft peachy colour. Then, apply a touch of liquid eyeliner to your upper lash.

5. Finish off the look with a touch of gloss for lips that look naturally fuller.
