Start with the best base - Lisa began each look by create the perfect base, as she explains: "I started by applying No7 Stay Perfect Foundation, with No7 Foundation Brush, to give good medium coverage all over the face, followed by No7 Instant Radiance Concealer, under the eyes. After powdering all over the skin with No7 Perfect Light Pressed Powder, to give a soft, velvety, matt finish,
Electric ‘80s - Inspired by the music icons and nightclub scene of the 80’s.
Eyes: "The fierce blue shade from No7 1980s ‘Electric 80s’ Eye Trio, was applied with a damp flat brush to lay down a strong layer of colour to the lids. Using a dry blending brush the blue was shaded and brought out and up towards the temples.
The bright orange shade was used at the inner corner and blended up towards the brow. Finally the lime green shade was applied on to the brow bone and taken in towards the orange shade. All the shades where buffed with a large blending brush.
No7 Extravagant Lashes Mascara, in Black was added to the lashes and brows were pencilled and defined with No7 Precision Brow Pencil.
Cheeks: Cheekbones were contoured using No7 Sunkissed Mosaic Bronzing Powder, for a healthy glow that did not clash with the strong eye look.
Lips: I went for a simple lip with this one to balance the look and keep it fresh and modern, applying No7 1980s Lipgloss in Joan in all over the lips."
Feisty ‘90s - Inspired by the pared down look of the early nineties new minimalism.
Eyes: "The eyes were kept very simple with the peachy shade of the No7 1990s ‘Feisty 90s’ Eye Trio, blended lightly all over the lid area up to the socket line. The lighter of the deeper shade was then used to create more depth and shading at the outer corner.
I buffed a small amount of No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil in Black into the roots of the lashes for extra definition before the lashes were curled. I applied a minimal amount of No7 Lash 360 Mascara to lengthen and separate, without looking too heavy or clumpy, and combed through. Brows were also slicked into place with No7 Lash & Brow Perfector.
Cheeks: I applied No7 Blush Tint Cream Blush in Blossom to the apples of the cheeks for a natural looking flush.
Lips: A slick of the pale peachy No7 1990s Lipgloss in Jennifer finished the look."
