One make up look that is universal and makes everyone look good even on tired days, is an entire look based on Desert Tones. The latest New York Fashion Week had this look on many catwalks.

Depending on the tone of your skin, think of ambers, browns, beiges, and what we call greige, which is a mix between brown and beige.

This is also a fast and easy make up application to do, and it works every time, providing you have the following:

1. A good foundation naturally matching your skin tone, preferably a light to medium coverage. So, nothing too heavy.

2. An eye shadow of your choice; it could be frosty or matte depending on your preference.

3. If you use eye liners or eye kohl, steer away from black and go for a brown or stone brown. MAC Cosmetics eye pencil in ‘Coffee' is great both as a kohl and an eye liner. 

4. A blusher very close to your natural skin tone is a must, leaning towards ginger rather than pinks and roses.

5. As for the lips, we like to picture a desert sunset, so shades of auburn, amber, orange and even a dash of gold. It can be sheer or highly pigmented, depending on what you like!

This is the perfect warm look, setting the perfect tone for Summer, the most exciting season of the year for many of us!
