How to incorporate more colour into your makeup routine
We’ve all been guilty of falling into ruts when it comes to our makeup routine. When you’re rushing to get out the door for work every morning, it’s understandable that you’d gravitate towards functional products over more fun offerings.
But, Georgie Eisdell, makeup artist to celebrities like Sophie Turner, Carey Mulligan and Gwyneth Paltrow, is here to liven up your makeup routine with some quick and easy tips on how to wear more colour in your everyday makeup routine.
In a recent interview with Glamour, Eisdell expressed her love for colourful makeup looks: “I love colour – it’s fun and it can really put a pep in your step in the summer and brighten up your mood in the winter,” she said.
The secret, she notes, is wearability. “I have been really into using colour of late and trying different shapes, but for me it has to be wearable.”
Eisdell’s top product pick for those wanting to embrace colour? “Tints!!! I love eye, cheek and lip tints at the moment.” Tints are a great way to add a subtle wash of colour to any makeup look and are a way for you to dip your toes in and test the waters when it comes to playing with colour.
Three tints we love: Hourglass No.28 Lip Treatment Oil Tinted; Lilah B Divine Duo Lip & Cheek; RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek
Keen to experiment with colour? Eisdell has these three suggestions for easing yourself into colourful makeup:
#1 / A colourful eyeshadow
“Try a muted shadow that is a colour you like, then slowly go brighter when you are comfortable.”
#2 / A graphic eyeliner
“Try a coloured eyeliner but use black mascara so you get a hint of colour but it's not too crazy a change.”
#3 / A bold lip
“A bright tint on the lips is a nice place to start too, then go for a full lip colour when you're ready.”
Not sure which colours to add to your routine? Here’s a list of the best eye makeup colours for your skin tone.

Briar Clark got her start in the media industry in 2017, as an intern for Marie Claire and InStyle. Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
