#GIRLBOSS makeup looks

GERRY CUPIDO

WHETHER you want to show off your natural beauty and let your inner glow shine through your bare skin or whip out your brushes and products to work your creative magic and transform your look to whatever mood you’re in, a woman has the power to do whatever she pleases to make herself feel her best. There’s no right or wrong way here and no one can tell you otherwise.

Whether you’re a super mom running a household, a CEO of your own company or a student working on your degree, here’s how to bring out your girl power. “I absolutely love popping on a bright or bold lipstick colour to finish off a natural eye look but since we have to wear a mask all the time it’s not always possible to rock a bold lip,” says MUA Alana du Plooy.

However, she has these power looks you could rock even when you’re masked up.

STRONG BROWS

Get creative! Whether it’s a dark smokey eye or a bold and bright colour, create a dramatic eye look to make your eyes the main feature. Or go for a simple, yet bold, wing liner. A sleek sexy liner is always a classic and striking.

LUSHES LASHES

No look is complete without a sweep of mascara. Apply two to three coats of mascara to intensify your lashes. For dramatic effect add false lashes. However stay away from showgirl, stage lashes and opt for more natural lashes to add volume.

DRAMATIC EYES

Don’t be afraid to show off your naturally bushy eyebrows. If yours are more on the sparse side then go ahead and fill them and define them. Full brows doesn’t mean solid drawn and coloured-in brows.
