Creating the ideal look for party-season need not be an intimidating task. Amid the ultra-sparkle and slick glossiness, there are a host of easy, breezy staples that can amp up your look during the festivities, without too much effort. If you need convincing, look to Sofia Richie's recent post on Instagram for the proof, which reveals just how quickly you can conjure up a party-worthy look.
A poster girl for effortless, clean-girl chic, Sofia relies on the Nudestix's Magnetic Luminous Eye Color, £20, to create her 'go-to holiday eye look'. Using a bronze shade which is not fully disclosed (our money is on Burnish), Sofia scribbles the stick all over her lids before blending it out with her middle finger. Once a good amount is in place, she refines the look further by dragging the pencil out, like you would when creating a winged liner. Then, she diffuses that out with her fingers to build shape into the look.
What she's left with is a warm, bronzed eye which captures just the right amount of radiance you would need for the festivities. And, paired against her deep green eyes, the colour play is genius. The creamy, rich formula makes it a dream to blend out (hence fingers) and the pigment is a dream, we especially love the gleam is leaves behind.
Using nothing but the pencil and her fingers, Sofia proves that an amplified look doesn't take much work. And if you're a minimalist like Sofia, you'll probably get away with leaving things there. But, if you enjoy a more heavy-loaded look, you could certainly use the Nudestix pencil as a sturdy starting point.
Prime your lids with a good few swipes of the pencil in your desired shade (there are plenty to choose from), the formula will act as an adhesive for anything that follows, plus the layering of colours will ensure a pigmented finish. Then, pack on some shimmery shadow in a similar hue to really amp up the look. Finish off by adding a smooth feline flick and volumising mascara. And voilà, your eyes are good to go.
