Hello,

My name is Chloë Butcher and I am a fashion, beauty and celebrity make up artist. Lady P has asked me to give you some tips and tricks on how to get the perfect look to go with the gorgeous outfits you can buy here. Every month I will share my insider knowledge on how to make the most of your make up and give you the tools to break that routine and turn you into a glamour puss.

80′s fashion has hit the stores in a massive way and the shops are overflowing with bright colours, bold patterns and big shoulders! Lady P has some gorgeous gems that are fantastic for a chic day look or glamourous party. 80′s fashion makes a real statement and the make up can too. There’s no shying away from the dramatic looks, so now’s the time to arm yourself with your brushes and palettes and get creative.

Three looks stand out from the decade of power dressing and punk rock; Statement brows, black eye liner and colours galore. You can make these as strong or subtle as you desire.

*Eyebrows should be well defined and filled in so they really frame the face. Clarins have a brilliant set called ‘Eyebrow Kit Pro Palette’. This has all the tools you need to create the perfect brow including
3 shades of eyebrow shadows, wax, brush and tweezers.

*Eyeliner rules in the world of rock and glamour. It gives the face such a striking look and defines your eyes so they are sexy and mysterious. There’s nothing like a bit of black kohl or liquid line to attract attention so make yourself irresistible by applying either Clarins Eye Pencil in Black or their High Precision Eye Liner, also in black. The trick is to pull the eyelid slightly towards your ear so the skin is smooth and it is much easier to apply the line in one fluid movement giving you a lovely straight line.

*Finally, this is your chance to get out your colours and really go to town. The beauty of this look is that it doesn’t need to be too perfect. It’s all about having fun and giving yourself an exciting new look to suit your mood and outfit. Think Cyndi Lauper cool and go crazy! The Nature Temptations Eye Palette by Clarins is a must for this look as are their Mono Eyeshadows that come in a glorious array of colours. Smudge and blend the colours on your eye lids, over the eye brows and up to your temples.

Now go and enjoy your new look and be prepared for lots of compliments!

See you next month.
