Fashion: Summer 2006 Make-up

1. Rocker Chicks Look
Line the inside top rim of the eyes with a waterproof black kohl pencil, then spread a cream shadow in a shimmery pink or taupe on the lids and under the lower lashes to create a luminous base. Rim the eyes, top and bottom, with a creamy plum pencil, smudge, and then set with a matching powder. A touch of electric-blue liner in the inner corners makes the eyes pop. Finally, ink up the lashes with two coats of mascara, choose a neutral but luminous tint for the lips and you're ready to jam!

2. Cherry Bomb Look
Lipliner-free, matte lips is the younger, less harsh interpretation of this powerful pout. It's best achieved with the new polymer-based lipstick formulas that make touch-ups unnecessary. For the face, choose a foundation with a primer/pigment combo for the look of real skin. Spot-apply around the nose, eyes or wherever you need it, blending with a synthetic brush for a sheer finish. Warm up the apples of the cheeks with a blush in a soft hue. For the eyes, go for taupes, rusts and muted metallics, says Gillian. Start in the crease to add depth and blend down toward the lash line with a final sweep under the eyes. Curl and coat the lashes with mascara twice, top and bottom.

2. Desert Tan Look
Use a semi-matte foundation on the T-zone to add light to the centre of the face. Then dust the forehead, temples, cheeks, neck and chest with bronzing powder. For the eyes, start with a soft metallic pink on the lids and follow with a light layer of pearly white across the browbone, sweeping the excess under the lower lashes. For added intensity, take a flat, synthetic eyeshadow brush and, using the thin edge, line the upper lash line with a dark grey or black powder, but don't blend. (A smoky eye ruins the freshness of this look.) Curl the lashes, and apply two coats of mascara. For the lips, condition with a salve, apply a lilac or pink lipstick to the bottom lip, then seal with a final layer of flesh-coloured lip gloss.
