"Highlight is super on trend for the season – use it in the areas of your face you want to accentuate the most, whether it be the nose, cheekbones etc. and also use it in the inner corner of your eyes to make them really pop!” Denise explained. Graphic eye makeup like Issa Rae “Graphic eye makeup has been seen all over the catwalks for spring-summer 2018. Use a liquid eyeliner and create a graphic, sharp, edgy liner to create this look or take inspiration from the iconic Amy Winehouse, create an overdrawn, graphic, feline flick,” Denise smiled. Bold, brushed up brows like Cara DelevigneTake inspiration from stars like Cara Delevingne for this trend. “Use an eyebrow powder or pencil to give your brows some definition and then use an eyebrow spoolie (mascara brush) to brush through the brows and give the appearance of more fullness,” she said. Red lips like Emilia Clarke Another trend more than evident at the Golden Globes was that of the classic red lip. “Be sure to use a lip liner in a similar shade to your red lipstick first and apply this around the lips and to fill in your lips to keep the color lasting longer,” Denise advised. Lush long lashes It’s worth investing in a decent mascara for this trend. “Apply an extra layer or two of mascara on your lashes or alternatively, apply fake eyelashes on the top and bottom of your eyes to create a ‘doll like’ look,” Denise grinned.
