If you want to try some classic makeup looks, here’s what we’ve got for you:

  • Red lips – red lips have a very sophisticated look about them. No matter what your skin tone is, there’s always a red lipstick that’s going to look good on you. Rocking a red lip needs more than just soft and moist lips, you also need the attitude and the confidence to carry this classic with style and elegance. A red lip is very versatile and can be worn with any outfit from casual to formal and everything else in between. Quick tip for well defined red lips: apply concealer on the outside of your lips to help with definition.

  • Flawless matte skin – a flawless matte skin never fails to give anyone a clean, sophisticated look. it’s very fresh and light which makes it perfect for day to day makeup. The secret to achieving flawless matte skin lies on your base and your finish.

  • Wing tip eyeliner – also known as the cat eyeliner, the wing tip eyeliner is one of the most popular and most loved classic makeup looks. It’s very easy once you get the hang of doing it and you can wear it any time, whether during the day or at night. The wing tip eyeliner is also a great way to frame your gorgeous eyes. Gel and liquid liners usually work best with this look.

  • ‘Just pinched’ cheeks – who doesn’t love a good rosy cheek look? It’s very fresh and light and it’s perfect for wearing during the day. To get this look, you will either need a liquid cheek tint or a highly pigmented blush that will show color with a light dab. Choose a color that’s closest to when your cheeks get pinched so that it looks very natural.

  • Smokey eyes – the smokey eye is the most worn eye makeup of all time. it’s so famous that it has now become a classic and a lot of variation of the smokey eye has also been created. Smokey eyes are very dramatic and they make a great statement for makeup. When wearing a smokey eye, remember to keep the rest of your makeup light and natural.
