With flushed pale pink shades reigning supreme for Summer 2016, there’s nothing quite like a dose of subtle candy-coloured tones to instantly refresh your visage. Whether you’re hitting the party circuit or searching for a daytime look that is suitable for the office, there’s nothing quite like a bit of pink. Try taking your beauty inspiration from this makeup tutorial, and refreshing your lips, eyes and cheeks with this summery shade.

1) Start by preparing your eyelids: In order to launch your makeup look on a flawless note, start by applying an eyeshadow primer to your lids. Next, use a thin eyeshadow brush to softly apply brown powder eyeshadow near your brow bone. Smudge this shadow near the creases of your eyes, to offer a gently blended in effect.

2) Enhance your eyelids with copper and pink eyeshadow: Bring your makeup look to an entirely new level by adding shimmery copper eyeshadow to your lids. Highlight under your eyebrows with a soft shimmery pink shade, to create a slight contrasting effect. Use an eyeshadow brush to accentuate your shadow and craft a subtle winged look. Next, apply a brighter pastel pink over your eye makeup and lightly trace your lower eyelids with brown eyeshadow. If needed, you can also define your eyebrows with brow powder at this point.

3) Outline your upper eyelids with black winged liner: To truly bring your eyelids to life, use black gel or liquid eyeliner on your top lids. Create a sultry winged effect, and then further enhance your eye makeup with a coat of black mascara. If desired, you can also apply false eyelashes at this point for a dramatic look.

4) Contour your cheekbones, add blush and finish with lip colour: Next, lightly contour your cheekbones and nose to showcase your facial features. Define your cheeks with a rosy pink blush, and then trace your lips with a peachy pink lip crayon. Fill in your pout with a matching lipstick shade, and prepare to stun as you strut the sidewalks!
