When fresh skin and playful adornment collide, make-up magic happens…

Lacquered Lips

Take this as your cue to get into gloss for autumn. ‘A glazed lip nods to the ’90s without feeling retro,’ says make-up artist Naoko Scintu, who lined lips with a chestnut pencil before loading the centre with Shiseido’s iridescent Shimmer GelGloss in 02 Toki Nude, £28, for a plumped-up pout.

‘Every modern make-up look starts with a fresh-look base,’ says Scintu, who layered Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation, £47, over Shiseido Revitalessence Primer, £39, for guaranteed glow. ‘Always apply foundation in the centre of your face first, before blending outwards for a more seamless finish.’

Daunted by metallic make-up? Don’t be. There’s a shade, size and shape to suit every eye. ‘Start with dainty eyeliners and work your way up to bold, statement shapes like this feline eyeshadow,’ says Scintu. ‘Just keep the rest of your face low-key and let you eyes do the talking.’

Softly Sculpted

Looking for a natural, foolproof way to cover and contour? Double up on your concealer. ‘Use a lighter shade to disguise blemishes, redness or dark circles,’ says Scintu, ‘and reserve a second, slightly deeper shade to sculpt under your cheekbones for subtle, natural definition.’ Shiseido’s Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Concealer, £35, gives a second-skin finish that stays put.
