7) Next, add false eyelashes, using tweezers as an applicator. Georgia uses Revlon lashes. Slick another layer of mascara over your eyes to bond your natural lashes with the falsies.

8) Having already used Nars Sheer Glow foundation, Georgia then uses Mac's Prep + Prime in Forecast, patting it in under her eyes. Dot concealer over your face for extra coverage. Georgia uses Mac's Select Cover Up concealer in NC20.

10) Emma wears an orange tone-based bronzer a lot, so Georgia uses Nars Irresistablement, dusting it all the way up her cheekbone.

11) Next, use a light shimmery colour, like Mac's Creme Colour Base in Pearl, to highlight the top of your cheekbones, cupid's bow and centre of your nose.

Add some extra oomph to your look by adding a pop of bright, bold colour. Try an electric baby blue liner, like the one seen at Fendi, or colour coordinate with what you're wearing.

Get The Look: Fendi's bold blue liner was actually created using leather, but you can get the look by drawing a thick line with regular liner. (credit:Venturelli via Getty Images)
No Makeup (06 of10)

...literally. The models at Marc Jacobs wore nothing but a touch of concealer to hide any blemishes.

Our go-to look for an evening out? The lived-in smoky eye a la Chanel spring 2015 RTW.

Get The Look: Using a smoky eye palette, apply lots of colours, and blend and smudge well. Don't be afraid to be messy. Finish off with a bold brow and nude lip. (credit:Pascal Le Segretain via Getty Images)
Sun-Kissed Skin(08 of10)

The dewy bronzed look at Michael Kors gives the appearance that you're fresh from a vacay in St. Tropez.

Get The Look: Apply bronzer where the sun would naturally hit your face -- forehead, chin, jaw line, and tops of the cheeks. Start with light strokes, and build up the colour. Use an illuminizer for that sun-kissed glow. (credit:Peter Michael Dills via Getty Images)
Bleached Brows(09 of10)

Not for the faint of heart, but if you're bold enough to try the bleached brows as seen at Givenchy, it'll make a pretty sweet statement.

Get The Look: If you just want to try the bleached brow look temporarily, fake it with an eyeliner pencil that matches your skin tone. Then use a spooly brush to apply yellowish concealer. Make sure to keep the look clean, and wipe away any excess product around the brows. (credit:Pascal Le Segretain via Getty Images)
Touch Of Sparkle(10 of10)

Channel your inner rock star adding a touch of sparkle to your lids.

Get The Look: Apply some glitter on the tops and bottoms of your eyelids, as well as on the inner corners. To remove, do what the pros did backstage at Anna Sui, and use Scotch tape wrapped around your finger. (credit:Astrid Stawiarz via Getty Images)
