It wasn’t just her biggest hits that Anne-Marie pulled out for the 80,000-strong crowd at the Capital Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium on June 12.  The 31-year-old former GLAMOUR UK cover star also revisited her love affair with sparkly lids – this time with striking pink glitter eye makeup courtesy of her long-time makeup artist Mona Leanne.

There’s no denying it: pops of bold pink on the eyes are having a moment right now. The look is everywhere and no wonder given how flattering it looks against any skin tone. The trend was first on our radar when Pat McGrath sent models down the Valentino A/W catwalk with eyes ringed in richly pigmented neon pink shadow.

Then, like most of our current makeup obsessions, pink eyeshadow was also referenced in American teen drama Euphoria with Barbie Ferreira’s Kat sporting a hot-pink wing and negative space love heart.

But it’s Anne-Marie’s statement pink eyeshadow with an oh-so-Y2K glittery twist that saw us picking our jaws off the floor last night as she stepped onto the stage wearing her platinum hair slicked-back into a hip-skimming ponytail.

Leanne says she began with a smoky eye using the P.Louise Coloured Eye Base in Daiquiri Diva to create the shape and a tacky base for the glitter to adhere to. “Don't take eye base too close to the brow – stay within the eyelid if you're worried about a bright colour being too bold," advises Leanne. "I then pressed a few different shades of pink glitter over the top for a super sparkly, multi-dimensional effect,” she adds. 

When working with glitter, Leanne recommends always applying it as the first step in your routine – even before skincare. “Glitter loves to stick to moisturised skin," she says. “This way you can clean away any glitter fall out using scotch tape before proceeding with the rest of your look."

For added drama, black eyeliner was added to the inner and outer corners of Anne-Marie's eyes to create a feline wing, while Lashify Fluffy Gossamer Lashes in F14 are the secret to her voluminous lashes. 

Further cementing the trend of barely-there makeup on the skin, the rest of Anne-Marie's face was kept refreshingly pared-back and glowy. A neutral base also serves to balance out the embellishments on the eyes. “Keep the eye as the main focus and don't overwhelm the face with too many extra elements,” says Leanne.  “When going super bright on the eyes, I like to keep the skin looking fresh and the lips nude and understated. This helps the overall feel of the makeup to remain very cool.” And there was us thinking that Anne-Marie couldn't get any cooler.
