We’ve paired up with High Definition and their beautiful makeup to show you how to shake up your look with just a few simple tweaks.

  £23.00Shop NowIf you usually stick to nudes and neutrals, experiment with a little colour. Rachael switched out Imogen’s usual natural smoky eye for a beautiful berry pop.

  It still looks soft and pretty but adds a little extra punch. We are in love with all those beautiful pinks and purples!

• 2.Swap your Usual Liner for a Kajal

  Shop NowA Kajal liner is an amazing way to add extra intensity to your eyes. Softer and more blendable than normal eyeliner, it gives beautiful, adaptable definition.

  For an extra twist, try a brown instead of the usual black. It is a lovely way to blend the colour into your shadows, adding definition but not harsh contrast.

  Keep any eye shadow fallout or smudged foundation at bay by doing your eyes and brows first, before buffing on a gorgeous natural finish foundation.

• 4.Switch out your Contour

  £36.00Shop NowIf you’re getting into a habit of just wearing the same contour and highlight everyday, then Rachael recommends trying out a blush; blush is back!

  Choose a colour that complements your eyeshadow colour (Rachael chose a beautiful peachy pink to pop against the berry shadows) and build up a soft glow onto the apples of the cheek. It looks fresh and pretty.

  Shop NowIt might seem a little trendy, but lip contouring with your gloss or lipstick is actually one of the simplest ways to pump up the volume for your lips.

  It is a small tweak but Rachael likes to use a deeper colour to line the lips and then fill in the centre with a lighter shade. It adds depth to your lips, making them look naturally full; just make sure to blend the two together for a gorgeous finish.
