This summer, it's all about bold colours, soft-pink cheeks and sunkissed lips. Laneige, Maybelline and Menard brings you their spanking new make-up collection to help you create summer's hottest looks.

Candy pop

The bold psychedelic colours of the 80's are making a comeback this season.

Tips: Apply in bold colour blocks. Don't overdo the rest of your face and go for toned down lips and cheekbones to neutralise dramatic eyes.

Try: Maybelline's Pop Attitude ($19.90)



Bronze glow

Versatile from day to night, this metallic hue has always been the IT look for summer.

Tips: Blend eye-shadow with darker colours or gold highlights. This works fantastically with nude or bright lips. Tanning not required!

Try: Maybelline's Autumn Spirit (far left), Bird of Paradise (centre, $19.90 each) and Laneige's Sweet Match #4 (far right, $29).


Dark angel

Smouldering, dramatic look for a glamorous night out.

Tips: Midnight shades work well with pale pink or neutral lips. But if you fancy scarlet lips a la the classics, add a hint of glittery blue or purple to lighten the harsh colours.

Try: Maybelline's New York Night (left, $19.90) and Laneige Blue Gradation #9 (right, $29).


Ooh-la-la lashes

Tips: Define and thicken lashes to complement and open up your peepers.

Try: Maybelline's Unstoppable Shiny Black Mascara ($16.90)


Pink-flushed cheeks

Bronzed cheeks, make way for the delicate, soft pastel pink-tangerine blusher.

Tips: Sexy dark eyes are softened with this girly shade. Just smile and sweep it across your cheeks!

Try: Laneige's creamy shimmer blusher ($32).

 

Nude Lips

A neutral look with nude, pale pinks and tangerines on the lips.

Tips: Complement warm tones of bronze or sex-kitten smokey eyes with natural lips.

Try: Laneige's Orange Water and Pink Orange ($32 each), or Menard's Stream One Touch Lipstick in Super Two-tone ($30, third picture shows Menard's lipstick in Ruby) which changes colour according to your body temperature.
