Here’s how to put on a face for every frame

SLEEK GEEK
If you’re a standard-issue bookworm, it’s probably been a while since your skin saw sunlight. Put some colour on that face – just a pink gloss and cheek tint are enough. A few coats of mascara will help open up those computer-fatigued eyes.

SO NOT MAINSTREAM
Pair your orange hipster glasses and thrifted beach shirt with a counter-culture scrunchie and indie green lids. Proceed to take selfie.

OFFICE HOURS
Power-dress your peepers with a strong line of kohl, plus eyeliner that is just the perfect amount of smoky for the day.

GALA TIME
Spectacles can’t be glamorous? We beg to differ. A hint of bronzer, plum lips and nude metallic lids – and you’re ready for the flashbulbs.

BACK IN TIME
Still living in the ‘Yellow Submarine’? This ’60s mash-up of chunky glasses, matte white lids, floating liner and cat eyes is just for you. Turtleneck optional.

QUIRK SHOP
School was tough, huh? But you got through it, with all that adorable weirdness intact. Some mascara and a pretty peach on the lips, lids and cheeks are all you need to complement the riot of prints, textures and colours that is you.
