MAC Melon pigment is a very versatile shade, as it can be paired with other neutrals or used alongside brighter colours. I used a teal eyeliner along the upper and lower lashlines to give a pop of colour to this neutral, golden-peach look.
Tip: You can easily change up this look by using a different colour of eyeliner. Purple, blue and green would all work well and give a different twist to the look.

MAC’s Blue Brown pigment is such an interesting shade; it looks a little blue, green, silver and brown depending on how the light hits. I used a shimmery white base underneath to intensify the sheen of the pigment. I also combined Blue Brown with green eyeshadows to bring out the green flecks in the pigment.

This combination is the eighth look in my series of ‘American Football Teams’ inspired looks. Football may have finished for the season but inspiration can still be taken from team colours! The Detroit Lions’ colours are silver, blue and white.

For this look, I created a neutral, yet defined effect on the eyes to really make the red lips stand out. Using neutral brown tones on the eyes means that you can easily wear any shade of red on the lips that you fancy.
Tip: Hot pinks, bright corals and deep aubergines would all work if you want to wear a bold shade on the lips. Alternatively, nudes and rose-pinks would work just as well if you want to keep the overall look very natural.
