Oh, Tilda. The icy eyes, those frosted lips, the whole darn ethereal look you're working, it's so next season. You make it seem so easy. Is it any wonder there is a sudden rush on frosted make-up across the land? All of a sudden, otherwise sane women are reaching for chilly whites, pinks and blues. They know not what they do. Frosted make-up is not for the shaky of hand or wonky of brush. It must be applied with precision and boldness. Wear it like you mean it or it'll look a hideous mistake.
Apply as little base as possible, then have a play. The eyes are the easiest place to wear frosted colours, and the most important thing is layering. You want to end up with a block of colour that also has depth. Apply shadow, with a brush, over the entire eye area, right up to the lash line. Wet your brush and draw a line of colour along the bottom lash line. Next apply black mascara (but not eye liner). A dusting of shadow to the tips of your lashes gives the full Narnia look, but it's best to keep the lips simple, either with a touch of balm or a gloss with a hint of iridescence. Turkish delight anyone?
