3. Kajal on the eyes
A smoky eye makeup made with kajal is even more gorgeous in brunette girls who possess a piercing gaze. There are two ways to create this look: you can make an elongated horizontal design that makes the eyes even more important, that is, the protagonists of the face, or you can opt for a more delicate and classic style combined with a pink or nude lipstick. Our advice is to find a kajal or a quality pencil that is able to create your look without smudging or staining the skin too much. So a kajal from a renowned brand like Collistar - buy the kajal on offer at € 11.30 (35% discount) - or an automatic pencil from a reliable brand like Rimmel - buy the automatic pencil on offer on Amazon for 5.90 € (34% discount) - are optimal for reproducing this style.
4. Lips on delicate reds
Ideal for every day, this look simply serves to emphasize your features by adding a point of color where it really matters: your lips! Therefore, a pink or red lipstick (brighter in summer, slightly darker in winter) makes your face glow naturally. Attention! a look for every day does not mean precarious! It is important to choose a long-lasting, moisturizing and protective lipstick that is able to care for your lips throughout the day such as Clinique's Chubby Stick lipstick: a product enriched with castor oil, Jojoba oil and shea butter. On Amazon you will find different colors, all on offer with a discount of up to 30%! Our favorite is the number 5 red lipstick on offer on Amazon for 15.90 (29% discount). Light, delicate and perfect for every day!
5. Smoky eyes in shades of blue
A blue-toned makeup is mainly used to contrast the warm colors of your face and hair, so even in this case we recommend that you make the eyes as the protagonists of the face. This look is to be avoided, however, in girls with blue eyes, because it can make everything very monochromatic. Also avoid lipsticks with strong colors, because the point of light is already abundant on the eyes! We recommend a compact eyeshadow palette with different shades of blue such as the Color Riche palette by L "Oréal Paris for € 12.23 on Amazon.
6. Preppy and bon ton make-up
For very feminine girls who like a light makeup suitable for every day, a delicate cat eye made with a quality eyeliner and a beautiful and lively red lipstick is definitely the perfect choice. In this case, the skin must be made perfectly, so a quality primer combined with a long-lasting foundation are the perfect mix to have a flawless look! We recommend Revlon's best-selling Photoready Perfecting primer available on Amazon for € 8.90 and Amazon's top-of-the-range foundation with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars: Maybelline New York Super Stay liquid foundation on offer for € 9.94. (28% discount)
7. Marked black pencil for intense cat eye makeup
This is also a case of a bold look where the protagonists are the eyes! The skin and lips obviously remain sober to give space to the design of the eyes. We recommend the L "Oréal Paris gel eyeliner set - on offer on Amazon at € 9.50 (40% discount) - because it contains 3 boxes of product (high durability) and a professional brush for precise application.
8. Illuminating lip gloss in delicate shades of pink
Novamente a natural and perfect look for every day. Here too the idea is to keep the skin and eyes clean and in shades of pink and beige if you are lighter or bronze and brown if you are darker. There are no secrets in this case, otherwise look for the best products to achieve this. If you think that this means investing a lot of money with luxury products, beware! This is not the case!

This is the ideal makeup for playing with tan and copper and gold tones! It looks especially good on olive-skinned girls because it makes the face glow and also allows you to create some contouring. The bronzing powder needs a lot of attention, though: the pigment needs to be long-lasting, easy to apply and its golden or copper glow needs to have a gentle air for the look to be natural. We recommend the Natural Bronzer blush from Rimmel on offer on Amazon at € 8.95 (25% discount).
13. The metallic eyeshadow in bronze tones
Bronze eye makeup is beautiful for chestnut women with light eyes, as it makes for a gorgeous and bright contrast. The look becomes even more sexy together with a light shade of black with eyeliner or a kajal and lots of mascara!
