    If you’ve noticed your skin is lacking a little lustre now that winter has hit, then it may be time to try one of these radiant make-up looks – one is perfect for every day, while the other is perfect for a jazzier night look.

    For both looks, start with a liquid foundation that will give your skin a glowing, dewy finish.
    Try: Maybelline New York Fit me! Liquid Foundation

    Add a warm glow with a peach blush applied on the apples of your cheeks. You can also apply the shade under your cheekbones (starting by your ear and ending at your top lip) if you prefer.
    Try: Mirabella Blush in Glowing

    RADIANT MAKE-UP FOR THE DAY

    1) Apply a shimmery bronze eyeshadow on your entire lid, taking the colour up to the brow bone. Then, apply the shame shade under your bottom lash line.
    Try: L’Oreal Paris Color Appeal Mono Eyeshadow in Platinum Beige.

    2) Coat your top lashes with two coats of mascara and your bottom lashes with just one.
    Try: Maybelline New York Volum’ ExpressCat Eyes Mascara.

    3) Finish with a sheer peach lip balm or gloss.
    Try: Carmex Moisture Plus Hydrating Lip Balm in Sheer Peach.

    RADIANT MAKE-UP FOR THE NIGHT

    1) Start by applying a light silver or bronze eyeshadow on half of your eyelid (from the middle to the inner corner) and on inner half of your bottom lash line. Make sure to apply the shade into the inner corner where your eye meets your nose.
    Then, take a dark purple or burgundy and apply the eyeshadow on the other half of your eyelid and outer bottom lash line. Take the colour to just beyond where your eye ends and blend. Blend the area on your eyelid where the two shadow shades meet.
    Try: Chi Chi Eyeshadow Quad in Sophisticated Sassy.

    2) Line both your top and bottom inner eyelids, making sure not to take the colour all the way to the inner corner. You can also line your top lash line for extra oomph.
    Try: Max Factor Liquid Eye Effect in Black Fire.

    3) Apply a volumising mascara to both your top and bottom lashes. Start with two coats and keep applying until you’ve reached your desired thickness and volume.
    Try: Bodyography Dramat-Eyes Volumizing Mascara.

    4) Finish off the look a matte nude lip.
    Try: Rimmel Apocalips in Nude Eclipse.

    Neither is my style. If I would need to go somewhere special then just golden liner, mascara on curled lashes and my fave TomFord lippy

    Great article

    I like Charlize Theron's look

    Belle88 7 Aug 2014 11:05 AM

    I tend to go more radiant in my makeup look. I don't go out too often at night where I would need to wear heavier makeup but I do enjoy playing around with my makeup kit when a special occasion comes up!

    I love the look of the both the eyeshadows featured. The eyeshadow quad by chi chi looks very versatile. I haven't tried anything from Chi Chi but this is another product to add to the list

    Apocalypse just works wonders everywhere!

    Elefante 18 Jul 2014 1:29 AM

    I love a gold highlighter!

    Mellyjane 14 Jul 2014 5:14 AM

    Loving Charlize's look. I have short hair and similar colouring so I always check out her hair and makeup.

    Eileen86 9 Jul 2014 3:08 AM

    Charlize Theron is gorgeous.

    Fuzzy 8 Jul 2014 5:19 AM

    Both looks are beautiful!

    Beeper Pad 28 Jun 2014 1:28 AM

    I do love adding some radiance to my face particularly in Winter. The Carmex tinted lip balm is one of my favourite products.

    Bee1 27 Jun 2014 8:07 AM

    The night time look sounds stunning! I love burgundy colours in winter, on nails, eyes and lips.

    Iman 21 Jun 2014 11:42 AM

    I love Charlize's natural looking makeup, something I would definitely try out myself.

    Beautynutter 20 Jun 2014 2:39 AM

    The radiant day make-up is stunning!

    fluffnut 18 Jun 2014 3:02 PM

    What I love to do is to add radiance is wear a bright lipstick!

    skitzkitty 17 Jun 2014 11:21 AM

    "Shame shade"??? Oh dear, who's doing the proof reading for these articles?? I've noticed a lot of spelling/grammatical errors on BH lately, but this one's definitely the funniest!!

    Ashley's 'radiant' look would pop if she smiled... then she'd be gorgeous

    Evanescencessy 17 Jun 2014 3:34 AM

    A bit of a shimmery eye is nice but I tend to keep my makeup pretty natural/minimal. I'm not a fan of shimmery blushes.

    Bobbin01 16 Jun 2014 10:19 PM

    I like both of these looks but trend to find that without a bit more colour, or a bolder lip, it makes me look washed out

    DeannaBoon 16 Jun 2014 1:55 PM

    I like the peach blush and nude lips. Subtle but radiant.
