When heading out, an easy way to create a striking look is to match different aspects of your look. One of the easiest and of course sassiest ways to do that is by matching your makeup with your heels. It becomes a breeze when you realise you can take inspiration from your favourite pair of sky-high stilettoes or trendy block heels. Here’s a few ways you can you can swipe right on this match made in stylish heaven.
Mad about metallics:
It’s a makeup that has been around for a while but has simply been updated and reinvented, before it was about a dramatic metallic eye with smokey details but this year has seen the rise of the metallic lips. Whether you choose the eye or lip look, you can definitely find a pair of metallic heels that suit this striking look. In terms of shoes, the shinier the better is the approach that many are taking this season, so go ahead and treat yourself to silver stilettos, rose-gold mules or bronze block heels.

Sleek street:
The sex appeal of a pair of high black stilettos is undeniable. Besides the sassy look it’s become a common shoe to wear for all kinds of events, be it to the office, special occasions or a date night. For either of the above you can be inspired by the simple and sleek aesthetic and create a makeup look that stuns. Opt for a winged eye with a dark black liquid eyeliner or marker, here you can play around with how drastic you want it to be according to where you’re heading. A matte foundation will go along with this look well by creating a clean canvas for the other bold details. Add mascara to amp up the overall look and to add drama. With a look as simple yet striking as this one, you can also rock a statement lip or alternatively keep the focus on your eyes by sporting a nude gloss. P.S. try a sleek hairstyle like a low ponytail with middle path, or a slicked back style that’s worthy of the red carpet.

Nude & natural:
A nude heel is imperative for any wardrobe because of how versatile it is between seasons and outfits and not to mention the leg-lengthening powers it has. For the same reason you choose a nude heel, to keep things modest and fresh, it’s the same reason you’ll want to rock a natural makeup look. This overall aesthetic will be great for the office, because of the clean look but also because of how easy it is to pull off. Match the look by sporting mascara, dewy foundation and a nude lipstick. If you’d like you can add blush for a fresh-faced vibe that’s sure to get you a few compliments.

Bold and bright:
This is where it gets fun, where you get to play with colours in both your outfit and makeup. It’s the perfect excuse to whip out those bright pink heels you’ve been dying to wear, or the best reason to wear that bold coral lipstick you’ve been wanting to rock. It doesn’t really matter what style heel you’re going for, you can totally wear whichever as long as the vibrant colour it boasts matches your eye or lip makeup. What’s key to this makeup look is balance, so if you’re keen on a bubblegum pink lipstick, keep your eye makeup simple with a subtle winged eye or even just pop on some mascara. Alternatively you can play around with a vivid eyeshadow palette and create a gorgeous eye look that will obviously go well with a more subtle lip.
