Pretty, innovative and sometimes OTT fashion and beauty is what you can expect at every Met Gala Dinner – and this year was no different.
Here are our three favourite beauty looks, plus tips on how to recreate them. Remember: For these statement looks, keep the rest of your face nearly bare. A light-coverage foundation and a dab of highlighter will do.
1 Solange Knowles
The look: Solange lit up the room with her canary yellow outfit and we loved the sparkle on her lids even more!
How to: Apply eyeshadow primer then sweep a shimmery shadow across your eyelids. Finish off with a metallic liquid liner like Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Liquid Metal Eyeliner Trio (R219,95).
2 Taylor Swift
The look: Taylor stunned with a daring deep plum lip.
How to: Line your lip with a lip pencil closest to the shade you want and apply the lipstick evenly. TRY Smashbox Be Legendary Matte Lipstick in Plum Role (R260).
3 Kim Kardashian West
The look: Kim’s bold robotic makeup was a standout!
How to: If bleaching your eyebrows is a bit OTT for you, recreate her bold eye with Clinique All About Shadow Quads in Sand Dunes (R495). Sweep a nude eyeshadow across your eyelid to your crease then apply a darker brown shadow above your crease. Apply the same brown shade on your lower lashline to create a smoky effect. Finish off with two layers of mascara and voilà!
