Get the Fashion Awards Look!


The cream of the style world was out in force on Monday night attending The British Fashion Awards, one of the year’s most hotly anticipated events. From designers to models, the bash drew a roll-call of some of the industry’s biggest names and it was a night when ladies triumphed, with women winning many of the night’s gongs.

Of all the looks sported, we adored the get-up of the Designer Brand Award winner. The singer-turned-designer looked super-chic in a floor length cowl-neck dress with a plunging back, a classic chignon and most importantly a beautifully flawless face with subtley smoky eyes.

Follow our top tips for a similarly sophisticated finish that will see you through many a Christmas party in award-winning style:

1.This look is all about smoky eyes and perfectly polished skin, so begin by exfoliating using a gentle scrub and then apply our new Ageless Elixir 2-in-1 Foundation + Serum in broad circular motions across the face. The silky formula will glide onto the skin, creating a gorgeous finish and disguising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles whilst protecting from harmful UV rays with its SPF15.

2.Prep the eyes with a primer and then use Max Factor’s Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow in Onyx Smoke to create a gorgeous smoke out in seconds. Use Step One of the double- ended applicator to apply a wash of iridescence on the brow bone and in the eyes’ inner corners, then create a wash of velvety black across the lid, in the socket and along the lower lash line using Step Two.

3.Line the eyes’ waterline using Liquid Effect Eye Pencil in Black Fire for extra definition, before applying Masterpiece Glide and Define Liquid Eyeliner to the lash line of the upper lids.

4.Give your lashes serious oomph with False Lash Effect FUSION mascara in black.

5.Leave lips understated – a quick slick of Max Colour Effect Cube Gloss in Nude Brown will make them look luscious but will keep the focus on your peepers.

6.Don and chignon and don’t forget to pout!
