Purple is the colour of the season, most recently spotted on Doja Cat at the VMAs and Camila Cabello at the Met Gala in New York City. However, it can be an intimidating shade to master. We ask for advice from Claudia Soare, the purple-haired president of Anastasia Beverly Hills who recently launched Vol. 5 of her cult-favourite Norvina eyeshadow palette, on how to conquer fears of bold colours, from lilac to dark magenta. 

"With colour, it's safest to start on the lower lash line," she says. "Remember, a little goes a long way—especially when it comes to the darker, more opaque colours. It's important to go slowly and be comfortable with the choices you're making. I don't think anyone who is unfamiliar with bright colours can pop it straight on their lids and go out and have a good time. They'd be nervous the whole time and God forbid someone makes a silly comment that keeps them from ever trying it again!"

Many celebrities channeled Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Lauren Bacall—who were renowned for their alluring smokey eyes and luscious lips—at the Met Gala in accordance to the 'Celebrating in America: A Lexicon of Fashion' theme. It would seem that the fashion event has reignited the beauty world's love for the old Hollywood look, which consists of smouldering eyes and luscious red lips. In particular, Anya Taylor-Joy's embodied vintage glamour in her Tiffany jewels and Dior haute couture at the 73rd Emmy Awards.

The secret to achieving this look is a flawless and radiant complexion. Georgie Eisdell, the make-up artist behind the actress's stunning red carpet make-up, shared that she prepped the skin with the Dior Capture Totale Super Potent serum and Dior Capture Dreamskin moisturiser before applying foundation and building the look with contouring, smokey eyes and a statement red lip to finish.

The Roaring '20s are officially back with the return of pencil-thin brows. This vintage beauty trend made a resurgence in the late '90s and early noughties, seen on the biggest movie stars and supermodels, such as Kate Moss, Angelina Jolie and Gwen Stefani. In 2021, its opinion-dividing reincarnation gets rid of the arches—rounded or otherwise—in favour for a straight edge towards the temples gives the illusion of the brow lift. 

However, if you're not ready to go back to the overplucked eyebrows of your youth, a beauty hack is to block your brows with concealer and use an brow pen to draw a thin line on top.
