	Dig deep and uncover the richness of the African soil by blending rich umbers, golds and rusts on the eyes, and the softest desert sand tones on the lips. Add a delicate touch of guinea fowl feathers to the lashes. THE LOOK Revlon's Amber Blaze Winter Palette Eyes: Blend Amber Blaze Eye Glossing (R89.95) across the lid. Line ans smudge Wet/Dry eyeliner in Chocolate Bar (R89.95) along the top and lower lashes, and line the inner lower lid. Add First Frost (R89.95) from the crease to the brow.

Don't be shy- this look is sumptuous, sultry and passionate, capturing the theatre of stormy skies at sunset, flooded river banks and flashes of lightning. Accentuate the eyes with maroons, wines and aubergines, and keep the lips soft, juicy and voluptuous. THE LOOK Clarins Bohemian Dreams Winter collection Eyes: Blend Eye Colour Trio New Passion (R180) by applying the peach tone under the brows, the chocolate brown over the lid and the deep brown in the crease and under the lower lashes. Add a line of Automatic Eyeliner Pencil in Plum along the top lashes and under the lower lashes (R160). Define the eyebrows with Retractable Brow definer (R200). Lips: Apply Le Rouge Lipstick (R170) in Illusion to the lips.

	Mysterious and Noble, this look captures the essence of Africa. The hues of the night skies are translated onto the eyes and lips. For a dash of fantasy, add the finest feathers on the outer corners of the eye. THE LOOK YSL misty winter morning collection Eyes: Blend Dusk Mauve (R400) along the top lid and deepen with smoky purples in the crease and along the lower lashes. Smudge the grape shadow close to the top lashes and add lashings of Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils No 4 (R225). Add a flash using either a blue green liner on the inner and outer corners of the eyes. Lips: Stain lips with Garnet Light Rouge Pur Transparent No 24 (R195)
