It’s not all about a red lip and black eyeliner – take a cue from the runway shows and use warm earth tones to look sultry in seconds.

ROSE - GOLD GLOW For sexy, silky skin (a la that of It girl Gigi Hadid), apply liquid or cream highlighter on your cheekbones and eyelids. The hint of shimmer helps mimic a post-facial glow. A dewy primer or shimmery loose powder works too.
