We all know the drill: there's a night out coming up, and you spend days thinking about what you’ll wear.
Running to the shops to get the right type of support undies and a new tanning mitt (because you couldn’t possibly use the disgusting rag you have at home again without the risk of getting a rash), you’re all set to go - and then you get to your makeup, and you’re at a loss.
Not knowing your blending brush from your tapered crease brush (what?), you dare to attempt a look you spotted on Instagram earlier.
20 minutes later, and it’s time for a makeup wipe.
But it doesn’t have to be that difficult or that frustrating.
Here are some gorgeous eye looks that only take one colour and very little skill - win!
1. Golden goddess
Gold works well on every eye colour and is the perfect hue with almost any outfit.
Finish the look: team with a light coating of mascara and a strong lip colour for a really statement look, or define those peepers with a swipe of liquid eyeliner and nude lip for a more natural look.
2. Olive branch
Green eyeshadows look beautiful on blue and brown eyes and can really inject some interest in an otherwise simple makeup look.
Finish the look: to up the ante, line the eyes with some black shadow and smudge out with your finger for a really intense eye look.
3. Bronze beauty
This deeper hue is perfect for all eye colours and skin types, and is a must in every makeup bag.
Finish the look: we suggest keeping your blush and contour light with this colour, but make sure to add a touch of bronze for a healthy bronzed look.
4. Ravishing rose
Luckily for brown-eyed gals, you can pull off any colour on your lids - even reds and pinks. We love how much of a statement this shade makes, and it's set to be a big trend again this year.
Finish the look: add lashings of volumising mascara – pun intended – to really make those eyes stand out.
5. Stunning silver
Silver can be a tough look to pull off; but for brown and grey-eyed girls, it’s a dream. This metallic shade is a real show-stopper and is perfect for that last-minute night out.
Finish the look: why not go for a vintage look by adding a strong flick with liquid eyeliner and rich red lip? Stunning.
