]]> As we approach the most romantic holiday of the year, we are finding ourselves desperate to add Valentines touch into every makeup look we do. However as much as we would love it, not every day is a red lip pink eyeshadow day, so we thought we’d find some wearable romantic Glam looks you can give a go this Valentines season.

Barbie Makeup

We are seeing so many girls trying “Barbie makeup” which is, you guessed it, all about pink, specifically exaggerated pink blush. We love this look by stunning influencer Isabel Rose In which she shows us exactly how to achieve this super pink blush with a gorgeous doll eyed lash. She credits that one of her inspirations for creating this look is the real life Barbie, Sabrina Carpenter.

We’ve also spotted the gorgeous Bernicia Boateng sporting the same exaggerated blush look but with a dramatic slate coloured eyeshadow look that we are just obsessed with.

Soft Romantic Glam

For those of us that are down to try something a little bolder, whilst still wearable, we are obsessed with the monochrome movement.  We are in love with this look on Rare beauty mogul Selena Gomez. Selena became the queen of blush after the unbelievable success of her cream blushes, which shes paired with pink eyeshadow and a bold red lip. Another amazing example if your wanting something more subtle is this soft Ballerina like look on Cindy Kimberly and her pink blush and pink iridescent highlight combo.

We’ve also seen this look sported by the gorgeous beauty influencer Schae Breezy on Instagram, who went for a stunning soft romantic glam with a monochromatic brown eye and lip which she posted on Instagram breaking down exactly what products she used to achieve the look.

Frosted Glam

Exploring a few looks on the softer side, due to the current popularity of the 90’s and Y2K makeup trends, we’ve seen a huge influx of frosted glam looks. The icy glitters and shimmers are the perfect subtle Valentine’s glam looks, highlighting the eyes and lips in a sultry but feminine way. We’ve seen this look sported by some of our ever influential IT girls like Hailey Bieber and Lily Rose Depp and Cindy Kimberley, as well as some of our favourite beauty influencers.

Hailey is taking more of a bronzy spin on the trend in the first image fitting with her “Glazed Donut” phenomenon, and a stunning iridescent pink in the second, the perfect way to subtly bring a bit of pink into your makeup for Valentine’s without it being overbearing. Both Lily and Cindy have taken a more “Icy” approach to the trend with the white shimmer eyeshadow and matte nude lips.

One Influencer take on this we are loving is the stunning Danielle Marcan who did an amazing tutorial using all Pat McGrath products, which after the success of her makeup at the Margiela show, we are all after. She paired a stunning pink frosted eye with a glossy nude lip and we are well and truly hooked.

If that’s the case and you are running out of ideas for your next full glam moment don’t stress, we've got you.

]]> When thinking up new make-up ideas to style whatever the occasion may be, sometimes it can be a little difficult or simply, we can have a blank mind. If that’s the case and you are running out of ideas for your next full glam moment don’t stress, we’ve got you.  

Below we have created a lookbook of some eye-catching make-up looks that have at least one bold feature that will be sure to catch your attention.  

Honey Glam  

Our first look resembles a lovely soft honey glam that has beautiful warm undertones and is undeniably flattering. Styling a faint fox eye, this look uses the art of a soft cut crease combined with brown eyeshadow to widen the eyes and give a subtle fox eye look. The model’s eyebrows are left looking very natural, only slightly in alongside a lovely soft contour that has a rosy blusher on top.  

This look is effortlessly beautiful and is perfect for a day out or a fancy dinner, it’s very versatile. To finish the look, the model styled a brown glossy lip.  

This look is all about a soft glam aesthetic, so we recommend the Mac Amber Times 9 eyeshadow palette for some lovely warm brown and neutral eyeshadows. For a soft dewy contour look, we recommend using a cream contour or a dark shade of concealer to create a dewy and flawless contour. This will help the products blend and melt into your skin effortlessly.  

The award-winning Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand would be perfect to use or the Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer, as well as the Fenty Match Stix Skinstick.  

To finish, the Fenty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer does a lovely brown shade that is super glossy and super pigmented and would be the perfect finishing touch to this look.  

Julia in Red  

Leave it to Julia Fox to throw us a bold sassy look, and for this one, she didn’t disappoint. Julia rocked eye-catching red hair matched with her red eyebrows, eyeliner and bitten red lips.  

Julia’s lips emulate a bitten lip look where she has pigmented lip liner and next to nothing on her actual lips just simply a gloss.  We personally prefer a cream lip liner as it’s smoother on application and lasts longer. So, for this look, we recommend using either the Kylie Cosmetics Beau Lip Liner or the Dior Contour Lip Liner. For a more budget-friendly option, the Rimmel London Exaggerate Lip is a perfect option.  

For the red eyebrows and the matching red eyeliner, the Barry M Hi-Vis Bold Waterproof Eyeliner in shade False Alarm is a great product that would be perfect for this look.  

Old Hollywood 

If the Hollywood aesthetic is your kind of thing, then check out Madelyn Cline and Nicola Peltz Beckham’s sexy make-up looks. These looks are effortlessly beautiful and show off a glamorous potent red lip. It screams old Hollywood glamour and is very sophisticated and classy.  

The main feature of these looks is their red lips, so we’ve included a few red lip options that will suit any budget and any aesthetic.  

For lovers of classic red lipstick, the L’oreal Paris Rich Satin Smooth Lipstick is a beautifully pigmented lipstick that would look incredible. The Dior Rouge Lipstick has four different finishes to choose from, satin, matte, metallic and new velvet. The Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G ‘So Red’ is a lipstick previously called ‘So Marilyn’ and is a perfect lipstick for the Marylin Monroe old Hollywood aesthetic, just like the name states.  

Nicola gives off a more Snow White x Marylin Monroe look rather than Madelyn so if you prefer her aesthetic more then we recommend using minimal contour and a very coral pink blush to create that almost cold winter look.  

The Dior Backstage Glow in shade Coral would be perfect for this vibe or similarly, the Benefit Sunny coral Blush would resemble the Snow White cold makeup look. The Too Faced Cloud Crush Blush in Tequila Sunset is another great blush that matched Nicolas’s vibe perfectly.  

Dark Feminine Lips  

If you like the old Hollywood vibe but want to trade your Marylin Monroe look for something a little more seductive and with a dash of dark feminine then this next look will be right up your street.  

Munroe Bergdorf styled a coppery gold eyeshadow look with a dark burgundy red lip. To achieve this lip, you would want to use a dark lip liner, maybe a dark red or brown. Having a darker lip liner allows the red to appear more seductive and alluring.   

The Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat lip liners are gorgeous, and the shades Hollywood Honey and Warm Scarlet would be beautiful to style for this look. The Revolution Satin Kiss Lip Liner in TGIF is a lovely creamy brown that would be ideal to help achieve that dark feminine aesthetic.  

For that pop of red, the Bobby Brown Crushed Oil Infused Gloss in shade Rock and Red is a lovely pop of colour and is very rich in pigment.  

If you are after a matte finish the Mac Retro Matte Liquid Lip colour is a perfect lip gloss that has a dark undertone, perfect for the dark feminine vibe this look resembles.  

90s Grunge  

Our last look is for all those 90s fans out there. If you’re a lover of simple make-up looks accompanied by thin eyebrows and a matte lip, you’ll love this next look we have lined up. Styled by Gabbriette, this look is about clean grunge eyes, dark lip liner and thin brows.  

If you haven’t already got thin eyebrows don’t fret, we recommend you use concealer and soap or gel to cover your eyebrows and keep them in place and then simply line them with eyeliner or eyebrow pencil. The Benefit Microfilling Brow Pen is a great product to use or NYX Professional Make-up Eyebrow Powder Pencil.  

For her eyes, she rocked a clean smokey eye that was achieved by having minimal brown/grey eyeshadow on her eyelid, dark eyeliner along her water line, and a small brown eyeshadow flick at the end to resemble eyeliner. For the eyeliner along the water line, we recommend either a gel/crayon or pencil eyeliner like the Illamasqua Colouring Eye Pencil or the Rimmel London Soft Kohl Kajal Eyeliner Pencil.

]]> With Christmas trees popping up all over towns and fairy lights lighting up our dark streets, it is time to start planning the Christmas parties and festivities. Whether it’s the annual work party, cocktail night with the girls or the big day itself, inspiration is always welcomed.

Christmas calls for sequins, sequins, and more sequins. However, if you are shying away from the sparkles this season, the party season is always a great time to break out the silks, velvets, and fur. This year also sees some fresh styles for the season worn by our Insta favs already, which we are loving. Here are a few of our favourite outfits from last year and those who are getting into the spirit already. Remember girls…tis the season to sleigh.

Christmas Sparkle

Starting with the classic, sparkly glam of Christmas, we have some amazingly chic looks. Our inspiration of the classic black sequin comes from Bebe Rexha last year as well as Paloma Elsesser and Lori Harvey earlier this month.  We are loving this year’s variations on the iconic party fit.

Backless Classic

Kylie is getting ready for the glamorous season and we are taking inspiration from this elegant low back gown. The elegance of this style is unmatched, just make sure you have your coat… you will need it!

Metallic Wonders

Winnie brought the disco look into Christmas last year and there are plenty of options to recreate this look for this year’s festivities. Ensure you are shinning amongst the Christmas lights with the metallic craze.

Feathers

Hailey looks as if she is away to take flight in this feathered ensemble and we can’t wait to see her soar. Feathers are big for this festive season and will be making even bigger statements. This season, anything your heart desires, we can assure you, there’s a feathered version.

Body Sleek

Kicki loves to bring surrealism into her style and Christmas is no exception. Last year she sleighed the game with her take on Christmas glamour. Why not add some fantasy into your festivities?

Winter Wonderland

It looks like this year we will be dreaming about a ‘White Christmas’ again when it comes to outfit inspo. Whether it snows or does not, you are sure to look as if you belong in a Winter wonderland with the influence from Lizzo, Sav and Maya.

Cocktail Night

Creating the perfect Christmas party atmosphere can be as enjoyable as the party itself. Take the stress out of your planning and have a look at our favourite ideas for making the evening memorable.

With every award show, red-carpet event and editorial, we are quick to lose ourselves in the glitz and glamour of our favourite celebrities’ looks, from their gowns and their elegant heels to their long nails and glittering eyeshadow. But behind the scenes, it is the makeup artists that are responsible for bringing each outfit to life, often spending years building an intimate relationship with their clients so that they can trust their talent and respect their viewpoint. Here, Voir has compiled five makeup artists from across the board as well as some of our favourite looks that they have created over time.

Pat McGrath

British makeup artist Pat McGrath rose to fame in the early 90s, collaborating with the most iconic labels, photographers and models to cement her place as the fashion world’s most important makeup artist. From Christian Dior to Prada, in 2017, McGrath earned her place as British Vogue’s beauty editor-at-large after creating beauty looks for over 35 runway shows per season. Chief among her collaborators is Naomi Campbell, 90s trailblazer for black supermodels who changed the fashion industry for the better. The two have shared a series of iconic looks, including when Naomi debuted Mcgrath’s LUST 004 Glitter Lip Kit on the VMAs’ red carpet in 2016, (a sensational, sparkling red lip) as well as Naomi’s elegant lids at Anna Sui’s FW 2004 show. Here, Rose Seduction, a striking shade that had been carefully selected from Mcgrath’s Mothership VIII: Divine Rose II Eye Palette, captivated onlookers, replacing Naomi’s signature seductive smokey eyes with a fierce hot-pink.

Mario Dedivanovic


After 22 years as a makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic has proven that he is more than just Kim Kardashian’s go- to beauty guru. After launching his brand, Makeup by Mario, in 2020, the 38-year-old has bottled his talent (into mascaras, powders and eyeshadow palettes of course!) and has taken it centre stage. At this year’s Met Gala, he reminded his fans of just how great he is at creating a flawless, naturally beautiful makeup look. Mirroring the irresistibly glamorous Marilyn Monroe, Mario utilised his very own products, from the SoftSculp Shaping Stick and Bronzer in ‘Light Medium’, to the Soft Pop Powder Blush in shades ‘Mellow Mauve’ and ‘Poppy Pink’. To top off Kim Kardashian’s iconic look, Mario created the perfect nude with his Ultra Suede Cozy Lip Creme in shade ‘Almost Bare’ – a classic we can’t help but adore.

Mylah Morales

Celebrity makeup artist Mylah Morales’ client roster includes Rihanna, Tinashe, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, and Becky G, to name a few. In an interview with Teen Vogue, the iconic MUA cited several products as indispensable to the looks that she has crafted in collaboration with Rihanna over the years, from Mac’s Cream Colour Base in shade ‘Shell’ to their signature Bronzing Powder. From award shows to editorials, Morales is no amateur. Most recently though, Morales made use of Miss Dior’s elegant beauty line to give Akira Akbar soft-pink cheeks and golden eyelids, a makeup look worthy of a goddess.

Ernesto Casillas



Born and raised in Los Angeles, Celebrity Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas is a 2x Emmy winning MUA who has been in the industry for over a decade. From Doja Cat to Naomi Campbell, Casillas has made it his mission to empower women of colour via makeup, embracing each complexion with a commitment to making his clients feel beautiful. In preparation for Doja Cat’s Vegas music video, which features in the new Elvis film, Casillas utilised Benefit Cosmetics’ Benetint Lip and Cheek Stain, as well as Nars’ Afterglow Balm in ‘Wicked Ways’, to flaunt his talent. Doja’s berry lips and bronzed skin made the perfect combination – but we wouldn’t expect anything less from Casillas!

Ken Alexis


Celebrity MUA and Photographer Ken Alexis has recently stepped into the limelight, creating breath-taking makeup looks for figures such as Nicki Minaj, Choyce Brown and Jordyn Woods. In Nicki Minaj’s new music video for Blick Blick, her beauty look was put together by none other than Ken Alexis, complimenting her ombre wig with a subtly lined nude lip and feathery eyelashes. When paired with Nicki’s Met Gala look, which was coated in gems courtesy of Pat McGrath’s team, there is no denying that Ken Alexis is a force to be reckoned with.
