Bec Hiriaki from Beauty with Bec
Winter is the time to replace light glosses and balms with a trending bold, statement lip. It can be a difficult look to create, so we asked one of Australia’s influential makeup artists, Bec Hiriaki to show us how to pull off feature lips that are balanced against the rest of your makeup.
Step 1 - Brows
Add definition to the brows with the correct eyebrow pencil for your colouring and run the pencil through the brows. Dramatic or subtly drawn eyebrows will emphasise the whole harmony of your face and offset the bold lip. Use the brush to shape and groom hairs with precision.
Gentle, firm and non-greasy, ideal for all skin types.
Dramatic or subtly drawn eyebrows will emphasize the whole harmony of your face and will make your look astonishingly intense.
Their firm and non-greasy texture allows a neat application using small and precise strokes, without overloading the hair. Eyebrows will therefore keep their natural aspect. EYEBROW PENCILS contain mostly natural ingredients that perfectly react with the skin, especially selected for their firmness. With vitamin E, free radical scavenger. Their practical conception provides an optimum ease of use : on one side, the crayon's lead and, on the other side, a handy spiral brush, allowing the final touch for a perfect eyebrow make-up. They come in different shades, perfectly adapted to the different eyebrow tones.
Step 2 - Eyeshadow
Using the Sweet Truffle Eyeshadow Duo, take the dark shadow through the crease of the eye and outer corner. Build up the colour slowly and blend out, taking a less is more approach until the desired depth is reached. Use the light shade from the same duo and place this on the lid to meet up with the dark shade, brow bone and inner corner for a brightening effect.
Two contrasting shades, with a silky finish.
Its soft and velvety texture, nicely comfortable, perfectly applies colours for a long lasting hold. Easy application and blending, shades can be applied at will for a discreet and more intense effect. With satin pearls for subtle reflections or more iridescent shades. Gentle formula for eyelids.
Each DUO associates a basic shade with a matching but more contrasted shade.
Tip
Apply an eye base before applying eye makeup. Not only will this protect the delicate eye area but will fix the makeup ensuring it lasts through the day.
Base for eye make-up.
The eye contour is the most fragile part of the face and to avoid irritations has to be protected and moisturized.
Moisturizing base that makes the eye make-up last longer while protecting the delicate skin of the eyelid. EYE BASE fixes make-up, gives a luminous appearance and enhances colour.
Step 3 – Eye Pencil & Lashes
Run the Soft Kohl Eye Pencil in Black along the top lashes, lash line and waterline. Use a small brush to smudge and soften this line but still keeping the definition. Take the Soft Khol Eye Pencil in Brun along the waterline to meet up with the black underneath. Use an eyelash curler to enhance the top lashes, pressing gently for a few seconds to create a lift.
Soft and easy application for an intense colour.
A line of intense colour underlines and widens your eyes, highlights their assets and makes them sparkle. The extra-soft texture of the Crayons Khol - Soft perfectly glides on skin and applies easily. With an excellent pay-off, they leave intense colour while allowing a neat line. They are comfortable and allow an easy application on the inside of the eyes (lash line), as well as outside, along the eyelash line.
Ophthalmologically tested. Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact wearers.
Step 4 – Lips
Apply the new Noble Burgundy lipstick to the lips, taking care to stay within the lip line. Use a matching lipliner to define and shape lips and prevent the strong lipstick shade from creeping outside of the lip area.
Moisturising, comfortable satin lipstick.

Lips need special attention. Made up of pink mucous membranes, they are, unlike the epidermis, deprived of protection which normally protects it against external irritations. Therefore lips are more exposed to climatic conditions: bad weather, wind, cold, sun, pollution,...
The MAVALA LIPSTICK glides on easily while leaving a fine and uniform layer. Hour after hour, its satin gloss remains outstanding, it stays on perfectly and its colour expresses itself with an incomparable fidelity. It provides an irresistible comfort to lips which stay soft and silky.
Extra-smooth.
MAVALA LIP LINER PENCILS precisely outline lips and allow an impeccable application of lipstick, also preventing it from smudging. Lips will be enhanced. Their smooth and fine texture as well as their velvety touch allow an easy and comfortable application.
These pencils come in different shades for a perfect and subtle harmony with the various colours of the MAVALA LIPSTICK range.
Tip
When using dark, bold colours on the lips, the key to ensuring they don’t smudge and maintain depth of colour is to use a protecting lip base or fixing treatment product. Not only will this condition lips but will deliver long lasting lip colour.
Step 5 - Lashes
Apply VL Lifting Mascara in black to the top and bottom lashes for added volume and length. Use a couple of false eyelashes to the outer corner of the eye to further enhance the drama and lift, great for an evening makeup look.
