Brand new for makeup lovers this winter is the Berry Bold Palette, 10 smooth and soft matte and shimmer eye shadows, alongside 4 glowing highlighter shades.

While the kohl is still tacky, place Scarlet all over lid then blend out using a clean, fluffy brush to follow the feline shape.

STEP 2 -Taking a small fluffy brush, blend Berry into the crease and under lower lash line to create a deep berry look.

STEP 3 – Add Velvet to the outer corners to create depth.
