Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!  If you love a lamington and you’re a happy little vegemite then odds are you’re pretty amped for Australia Day.

So this year, as you join your friends and family in celebrating our great country, why not indulge in a few green and gold make-up ideas too? They’re guaranteed to leave you feeling pretty patriotic…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emerald Eyes with Lily Cole


The British model is practically made to wear this hue, thanks to her rich auburn locks. It’s a colour match made in heaven.

To get Lily’s eye look, arm yourself with a pigmented shadow and a good eye primer.

1.) To begin, ensure your eyelids are free of residual make-up before taking to them with an eye primer. We love NP Set Eye Primer because it keeps your lids nourished and ensures your shadow stays put.
2.) Next, line your upper lash line with a loose green or aqua powder, then blend the colour upwards and outwards until your eyelid is covered and there is a hint of colour near your brow bone. Don’t forget to softly define your lower lash line too, extending the line until the two lines meet at the outer corner of the eye. For a pigmented colour that stays put, we like Prestige Cosmetics Let Loose eyeshadow in Galaxy (a deep apple green).
3.) To finish your eye look, apply lashings of a deep black mascara to your top and bottom lashes. We love Rimmel London 1-2-3 Looks Mascara
