Plum Roles

Sienna Miller

Ditching her signature, fresh-faced style for a more vampy make-up look, Sienna Miller sports smudgy black eyeliner and wine-stained lips. As seen on the runway at Missoni, Gucci and Carolina Herrera, burgundy-stained pouts are big news for winter 2011. Sienna teams hers with sultry black eyeliner, smudged along both upper and lower lash lines for that sexy ‘slept-in’ effect. A wash of bronzer over her cheeks warms up her complexion to complete the look.

Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne looks every inch the classic Hollywood icon with her silvery-blonde hair swept back off her face to reveal flawless, dewy skin and graphic, Sophia Loren-inspired smoky eye make-up. Kelly’s eyes are lined and defined to create a sixties-style ‘cut crease’ effect, using shades of plum that beautifully complement her dress and drop earrings. Golden pink blush and glossy peach-tinged lips give this retro look a modern update.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Smoky eyes are a perennial favourite for the party season, but not everyone suits the traditional colour palette of black and charcoal. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley creates a softer, more wearable take on the smoky eye with subtle bronze hues that contrast with her blue eyes, making them pop. Try plum tones to enhance green eyes and emerald hues to intensify brown eyes. Rosie keeps her make-up monochromatic with just a touch of earthy blush across cheekbones and creamy, nude lips.

Jane Lynch

Better known for keeping it casual as coach Sylvester in Glee, Jane Lynch looks almost unrecognisable all glammed up for the red carpet. Jane’s silver, smoky eyes are reminiscent of the metallic make-up looks seen on the catwalks at Chanel, Fendi and Derek Lam this season, yet remain age-appropriate for a woman in her 50s. Fluttery false lashes help to further define and lift her eyes, while a soft pink flush to lips and cheeks adds a youthful radiance.
