The Look: fluttery false lashes
The Low-down: Wearing a full strip of lashes like this takes some talent to both apply and carry off. If you live in Melbourne or Sydney, consider booking in to the Shu Uemura Lash bar at your David Jones city store for an application and eye makeover lesson. It’s free if you buy a set of lashes – there are 39 to choose from, which range in price from $30-$50. To book, call (03) 9643 2222 or (02) 9266 5544.

The Look: Specs appeal.
The Low-Down: Statement glasses can take too much emphasis off the eyes, so to keep peepers prominent you need to amp up the makeup. Follow the lead of the gorgeous Rose with a lashing of liquid liner along the upper lashes.

The Look: Juicy cherry lips.
The Low-Down: A cherry- or berry-hued gloss or stain is the ideal way to baby-step a red lip look, which can be hard to master. The sheerer pigment means it’s also more flattering on most skintones, not to mention a more modern option – densely-hued red lipstick can look stark next to skin unless it’s flawlessly covered in foundation.

The Look: An imperfect ponytail.
The Low-Down: Hair needs what the pros call ‘guts’ to stay in place like this, and often work a texturising product through freshly washed hair, so that it’s clean, but not so squeaky-clean that it will slip out of style.
The Lust-After: Jonathan Dirt Texturizing Paste, $29.50, form TVSN

The Look: A just-back-from-Ibiza glow.
The Low-Down: To get sunkissed-looking, sheerly-veiled skin, try a facial gradual tanner – one featuring sun protection is particularly fabulous because it provides moisture, suncare and tint in one hit. If you plan to be outdoors for extended time, however, you’ll need to top it up with a separate sunscreen after a few hours.
