VIVA OLYMPIA

Inspired by the 2016 Games in Rio, we present a
beauty spread that celebrates the five colours of the
Olympic rings in fresh, bold and unexpected ways.

BLUE
The colour of the sky and the sea, blue encourages us to reach for the stars and dive deep to uncover our fighting spirit. With a brilliant shock of aqua blue on the upper lids and browbones and a deeper navy shade on the lower lids, a rich, evocative eye is all you need. Wet look hair — almost like you've just taken a dip (or competitive swim) in the pool— completes the strong picture.

Makeup: All by Make Up For Ever. Step 1 Skin Equalizer Hydrating Primer, Ultra HD Foundation, Pro Sculpting Palette in Light, Aqua Brow in Light Blond, Aqua Cream Colour in Turquoise, Peach and Intense Blue, Excessive Lash Mascara in Black and Rouge Artist Intense in Matte Flesh

Hair: Kevin.Murphy Body.Builder and Super.Goo

RED
The colour of power, passion and ultimately, victory — celebrate a winning streak (or
a podium finish) with this fiery shade. Here the interpretation of red is not literal, with an rust orange wash on the eyes, bold fuchsia on the cheekbones
and a pink streak in the hair, complementing a scarlet lip.

Makeup: All by Nars. Velvet Matte Skin SPF30, Brow Gel in Athens, Matte Eyeshadow in Persia, Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Rigel, Kohliner in Minorque, Audacious Mascara, Dual-Intensity Blush in Adoration and Audacious Lipstick in Annabella

YELLOW
With a sparkling vivacity, yellow represents youthful vitality and the gleam of a gold medal. Eyes ringed in a highly-pigmented marigold and set against dewy, skin look fresh, striking and modern. Hair is styled in intricate kiss curls to add texture and a dose of drama.

Makeup: All by Shiseido. Glow Enhancing Primer, Radiant Lifting Foundation, Luminizing Satin Face Color in Soft Beam Gold, Shimmering Cream Eyeshadow in Lemoncello, Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trio in Tropicalia, Full Lash Volume Mascara and Rouge Rouge in Hushed Tones

GREEN
This cool, serene hue is not just pleasing to the eye, it brings with it a sense of renewal and vigour. Here green takes on a spring-fresh appeal, blended artistically with harmonious yellow tones and creamy petal shades for a dreamy, ethereal effect. The hair is pulled back tightly— inspired by a gymnast's pristine style.

Makeup: All by Make Up Store. Liquid Foundation, Duo Contouring in Light, Blush Marble in Breccia, High Tech Lighter in Moonlight, Tri Brow Premium in Blonde, Microshadow in Enigma and Grass, Mascara Long Lash in Black and Lipstick in Redwood

Hair: La Biosthetique Therm-O-Flat and Classic Gel

BLACK
This show-stopping shade is the dark horse in the competition with an intriguing sense of mystery. Eyes are smoked out and contrasted with a touch of silver, liner is winged with multiple strokes, while brows are darkened and brushed upwards for a sensuous, brooding effect.
