| Electrify your eyes |

Emerald alone is amazing at attracting stares, says colour psychologist Kate Smith. So just imagine what the shade can do when topped with glitter (whiplash alert!). Coat lids with a concealer (a good one: Avon Stick Concealer, Rs 229). "The blank canvas helps the colour pop on your eyes, says make-up artist Tim Quinn. Then run a damp angled eyeliner brush (we love brushes from M.A.C.On a budget? Try Vega!) over green shadow and apply it across upper lash lines, extending just past outer corners. Finally, layer on some green glitter (try Shiseido, it comes with a brush). The more layers you apply, the more glances you'll get. |

Give in to gilt-y pleasures |
 |
Instead of limiting shimmer to one part of your face (sooo restrained), illuminate all over. "Just choose universally flattering metallic’s with golden undertones rather than too-frosty silvers, suggests Quinn. |
Blend a cream eye shadow (try the one in nude from M.A.C) from your upper lashes all the way up to your brows (don't forget mascara). Then dab a luminising face lotion all the way up cheekbones. |
Finish by swiping lips with a shimmering nude gloss: Bourjois's lipper works absolutely fab on Indian tones. Got extra cash this month? Try Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Glow in Lace Beige. |

Be Cheeky |

Take a bolder approach to brushing on blush: bypass the apples and apply it high at the temples. "It's so unexpected and out-of-the-box, plus the location makes your cheekbones look more lifted than ever, says M.A.C make-up artist Jenn Karsten. |
Grab your blush (at right, our favourite cream and powder), then place each pointer finger directly below the centre of each pupil on the bony areas of your upper cheeks. |
Lightly apply a little blush there and continue upward in a C shape toward your temples, applying more heavily as you go. Amp up the effect by wearing a similarly shaded lip colour. The blushes here work well with Inglot's pink lip duo, Rs 720. |
