Sunset makeup colours for the soft, pretty glow you'll love

The great thing about sunset hues such as gold, coral, russet and amber, is that they flatter just about everyone, lending pale, cool complexions touches of sun-kissed colour, while enhancing darker skin tones. Makeup artist Melissa Yeo says: “Shimmery, earth-toned colours and peachy shades warm the skin without making it look bronzed and tanned. It’s a softer, prettier effect.”

When using an eyeshadow, pair it with a brown or bronze eyeliner and finish with a coat of mascara for definition. If you have bumpy skin on the cheeks, avoid using blushers in sunset hues as the reddish tones will draw attention to the bumps.
