AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Nothing exemplifies casual glamour better than short, crimson nails. At once sexy and unfussy, all you have to do is file your nails short and slick on two coats of red nail polish. Try Dior’s Dior Vernis in Rouge 999 and finish with a glossy top coat for a little je ne sais quoi.

READ MY LIPS
Be it creamy, matte or high-shine, red lips are as classic as they are versatile. Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea Color Splash Hydrating Creamy Lipstick contains humectants and antioxidants for a buttery texture that glides on to deliver intensity and moisture; Sephora’s Cream Lip Stain is a velvety matte liquid lipstick that packs vibrant colour without drying your lips; and Burberry Beauty’s Burberry Kisses Gloss promises a glazedlike effect without the stickiness.

BROW-RAISING
When done right, wellgroomed arches have the ability to frame your face and lift your features. To fill in sparse brows, use a fine-tipped brow pencil like Urban Decay’s Brow Beater Microfine Brow Pencil to draw tiny strokes in the direction of hair growth. Or try Chanel’s La Palette Sourcils de Chanel to bulk up skinny brows and create a gradient effect.

EYES ON YOU

Thanks to Korean celebrities’ experimental approach to makeup, even the boldest looks have become commonplace and gone on to spark trends around the world. Case in point: Red eye makeup. Try Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Alkaline, a plum-red shade that accentuates Asian skin tones. Or use Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner in (Pop)ular, a bright vermilion shade that brightens the eyes for a wide-eyed look.
