We saw a new take on colourblock make-up at the Shrimps show. Models sported a whimsical look, using the same colour on their eyes, cheeks and lips. This gives a warmth to the face, perfect for the autumn season. A word of warning: it is not a look that can be rushed. Slowly build up the colour with soft strokes to avoid unblending lines. For pale skin, go for pinks, medium skin tones suit shades of coral, and for darker skin, choose a deep berry to nail this look.
