POLOKWANE – Makeup artist Mokgadi Nyuswa offers the following tips and advice for those seeking a glamourous evening look for their next function.
“Pairing certain shades of eye shadow and lipstick will make for a gorgeous combo. Try these five colour combinations this festive season to ensure you make a lasting impression.”
The “Laid back’ look
Try a shiny copper-coloured (mixture of red and brown) eye shadow, with a deeper matte-wine lipstick colour. This will give you a ‘laid back’ look.
Make your eyes pop
Make your eyes pop by matching an emerald/green eye shadow with a nude lipstick to make your eyes pop. You can also use this colour with a darker coloured lipstick such as your shiny greens, blue etc.

Rock these colours with confidence
Champagne eye shadow and coral/pinkish lipstick is a popular colour choice. Rock this combination by teaming it with a similar colour clothing item, bag and/or shoes.
Stand out in a crowd
Stand out in the crowd by pairing a violet eye shadow with a darker lipstick in a berry or maroon tone. Team the look with a maroon clothing item to make a lasting impression.
Steal the show
Shiny and shimmery colours look good with a strong red lip. Apply a gold/sparkly eye shadow to your lids and team it with a bold red lipstick to steal the show. This colour combination will compliment any glitzy evening dress, shoes and clutch bag, Mokgadi added.
